One of the students in an English literature class offered the teacher a breakdown of a thoroughbred race on Turfway Paradise's Monday card as her example of a declarative statement. It seemed to Rock that the teacher, Ms. Fuller, was lost in some other matter and did not hear what the student had to say.
"Pardon me, Ms. Fuller, did you hear that?" he said.
Ms. Fuller did not respond. She rather kept her head down, apparently absorbed in whatever she had turned to in the book she held open. Several students laughed softly.
Rock tried again. "I beg your pardon, Ms. Fuller, did you hear what she had to say?"
