and he uses them like a whip.

He always washes his hands in enamel basin in the corner of the room. After he has
washed them, he will walk over to his desk and stand behind it looking at the pupils while
he dries his hands on a small, white towel. He dries each finger separately, beginning with
the first finger. His fingers are long and white. He rubs them briskly without losing the
effect of deliberation and as he rubs them, he looks at us with his eyes.
No one moves while he dries his hands, no one speaks. When he finishes, he will fold
the towel and put it in the desk drawer. Then, he will awkwardly smile at us
He really terrifies me. (Conclusion----optional to sum up main ideas)
