At the Thompson Finishing Schooldorm mothers are very important to maintaining discipline among the student body. Among other things, dorm mothers are in charge of introducing their girls to the basic etiquette of Thompson, leading them from class to class, assigning marks for bad behavior, and seeing that those marks be applied in the most productive manner possible.
Dorm mothers are Thompson graduates that did not have the good fortune to have a fiancé at enrollment, nor were they lucky enough to sell on auction day. They are thus naturally a bit bitter due to their lack of desirability, which fortunately translates into most of them having very exacting standards. Their girls certainly benefit from the extra strictness this provides!
Miss Amelia Post, age 51, is Thompson Finishing School’s most experienced and skillful dorm mother. Whether by helping a new girl with her uniform or applying a harsh lesson to the seat of a naughty student, she almost always conducts herself as she should—with poise, control, and care.
There are times, however, that Miss Post fails in her duties. Sometimes she is unable to control a student. Sometimes she acts out simply because, despite her age and experience, she is still a female and therefore never outgrows the need for male guidance and discipline. In those fortunately rare cases, it falls to the headmaster to correct her and send her back to her tasks with a renewed vigor and sense of purpose!
