Evidence: | 'I was so interested in spectrum analysis that I took the big book to school with me, to read in playtime. The desks we had were box-type, there was a lid to lift and you could keep books inside. I had my book in there. We were doing composition. I had my head under the lid and inside the desk, reading more of the library book.' |
