St Elowen’s Lumen servamus
M

Margaret

Lower Fourth

Grave, scholarly, and the school's finest Latinist. She has strong, freely shared opinions about the school's own Latin grace, and rather stronger ones about anyone who mangles it.

She loves
A dead language, brought back to life. Getting a translation exactly, unimprovably right.
She fears
Approximation. A thing said nearly, but not quite, correctly.

What she is not telling you

She corrects everybody's pronunciation, silently, in her head, and has never once said so aloud, which she considers a great personal sacrifice.
