This is an extract

adapted from a book about teenagers.

"You

begin," he said, "by setting your scene. You have to see your scene,

either in reality or in imagination. For instance, from here you can see across

the lake. But on a day like this you can't see across the lake, it's too misty.

You can't see the other side."

Rowland

took off his reading glasses to stare at his creative-writing class, whose

parents' money was being thus spent: two boys and three girls around 16 to 17

years of age, some more, some a little less. "So," he said, "you

must just write, when you set your scene, 'the other side of the lake was

hidden in mist'. Or if you want to exercise imagination, on a day like today,

you can write, 'The other side of the lake was just visible.'

College

Sunrise had begun in Brussels, a finishing school for both sexes and mixed

nationalities. It was founded by Rowland Mahler, assisted by his wife, Nina

Parker. The school had 10 pupils aged 16 and upwards. Rowland then moved the

school to Vienna, increased the fees, wrote to the parents that he and Nina

were making an exciting experiment: College Sunrise was to be a mobile school

which would move somewhere new every year. At present they had nine students at

College Sunrise at Ouchy on the lake.

It was

early July, but not summery. The lake had been invisible under the mist for

some days.

Rowland

looked out of the wide window of the room where he taught, and saw three of the

pupils who had just attended his class, leaving the house, disappearing into

the mist. Those three were Chris Wiley, Lionel Flaas and Pansy Leghorn (known

as Leg).

"You

know, Chris," Rowland had said, "I don't think you're on the right

lines. You might scrap it and start again."

"When

it's finished," said Chris, "I could scrap it and start again. Not

before I've finished the novel, though."

"Why?"

said Rowland.

"I

want to see what I write."

Rowland

had read the two opening chapters of the novel Chris was determined to write

during his terms at College Sunrise. On his second reading: "But this is

quite good," Rowland had whispered, as if speechless with amazement.

"Do

you intend to finish it?"  he said.

"Yes,

but I don't know how. All I know is the story will happen."

"And

you find our creative writing classes a help, of course..."

"They're

beside the point, in fact, but quite useful in many other respects."

Rowland

was frightened; he felt again that stab of jealous envy, envious jealousy that

he had already experienced, on touching and reading Chris's typescript.

The

subject of Chris's story was Mary Queen of Scots. Chris didn't trouble to write

the truth, but he felt it would make a good story. It was to be an excitingly

written novel, in addition to its originality. It was to be popular.

He was jealous of the teacher's novel.

He was keen on writing a long novel.

He started writing a successful novel.

He didn't trouble to write a historical novel.
