This is the exact spot!
…And that door leads to Sarah’s office. Sarah! Now it comes down! She came trotting by with her watering pot between those two doors, going from the corridor to her office, and she said, ‘I hope you are teaching Quality to your students.’ This in a la-de-da, singsong voice of a lady in her final year before retirement about to water her plants.
