Goodbye Mister Chips

Mr Chipping is a quiet, unassuming teacher, who never veers from his established routines. Then he meets Katherine, who charms him and his students and teaches Mr Chipping that education is about more than just the hours spent in the schoolroom.

First sentence: WHEN you are getting on in years (but not ill, of course), you get very sleepy at times, and the hours seem to pass like lazy cattle moving across a landscape.
