When Taplow tells Frank that he was supposed to meet Mr Crocker-Harris at six-thirty, Frank tells Taplow that Mr Crocker-Harris was already ten minutes late. He suggests that Taplow could go and play golf. But Taplow is shocked and expresses his apprehension if Mr Crocker-Harris should know. He was certain that nobody had ever done that with Mr Crocker-Harris.

The weather is fine. It is ideal for playing golf. But Taplow does not dare to cut his teacher. He did ask him the previous day if he had declared him fit for promotion. He imitates Mr Crocker-Harris’s voice and repeats what he said. He only said that he had given him exactly what he deserved, no less, and certainly no more. Taplow can’t help saying that Mr Crocker-Harris is hardly human. Suddenly, Taplow realises that he has been rude towards his teacher. He suddenly feels sorry for his audacity. He admits that he got carried away.

Taplow wanted to pursue science if he got his remove and he is highly interested in specializing in the science and provide better ideas about him with no risk and trouble with it.

On the other hand, it provides better support to identify the ideas about him. He steps up forward to provide better ideas in a fine manner.

 On a pleasant day, when he had been playing golf, Taplow was called for extra work to school. This was because he had missed a day last week due to illness. Such a situation was referred as bad luck by the science teacher.

Sadist is a person who takes pleasure in inflicting pain to others; Crocker Harris did not give any sort of physical or mental pain to anyone. He just kept a safe distant from his students and maintained a professional relationship with his students and colleagues. Every student knew he was strict, but not sadist.  

Taplow knows that a sadist gets pleasure from inflicting pain. But, according to Taplow, Mr. Crocker Harris is not a sadist because he rarely displays any human emotions. Instead, Taplow finds Mr. Crocker Harris to be shrunken from within as his emotions are almost dead. He finds it strange how Mr. Harris disliked to be liked.

Frank is a young science teacher at the school. We get to know about him from his conversation with the boy Taplow. On the whole, he appears to be a mean and petty person. He envies Crocker-Harris, who keeps his students under control. He provokes Taplow to comment on his teacher and also to imitate his voice. This is unbecoming of a teacher to discuss his colleague with a boy. He suggests to Taplow to slip away because Crocker-Harris is late in coming and the weather is fine. Mrs Millie Crocker-Harris is a kind hearted and easy going person. She is very smart. She rescues Taplow by sending him out on an errand.

Mr Crocker-Harris appears as a stem master who is a man of principles and stickler to the rules. He believes in fair assessment of his students and is not swayed by emotions, as the man is hardly human. He is not a sadist, but strict in performance of his duties. Even on his last day at school, when he is over-busy in his own affairs, he does not neglect his duty towards his students.

Taplow thinks his teacher Mr Crocker-Harris is strict but not a sadist. He thinks that the teacher is unbiased, dutiful and very disciplined. He doesn't get easily impressed by anyone's efforts. He doesn't appreciate the effort of Taplow who comes to school on the last as he misses one class before. He doesn't like to be liked by others. He seems feeling less and maintains a distance from the students.

Taplow was charged by Mr.Frank that he was exaggerating on the issue of Mr. Crocker Harries. Taplow made the argument about Mr. Crocker Hrries that he possesses the feeling of hatred towards others so that the others may start liking him. To this view, Taplow was charged with exaggeration. He refuted the charge by explaining how people are unable to understand the thoughts of Crocker-Harris which makes him a negative person for others. It is the other people who are unable to understand him.

Taplow was horrified to see Mrs. Crocker Harris because he and Mr. Frank were cracking jokes on her husband. He was afraid that if Mrs.Crocker Harris heard them, then she might tell it to her husband and then he wont get his remove.

Frank envies Mr Crocker-Harris for the effect he seems to have on the boys in the form. They all seem scared to death of him. He wants to know what he does: whether he beats them all or does something else which is awe inspiring. Taplow informs Mr Frank that Mr Crocker-Harris is not a sadist.

Crocker-Harris's joke was a classical joke, and it involved Latin as well. Taplow could not understand Latin well, and neither could any of his classmates. Yet he laughed at the joke because he was being polite, he felt a bit sorry for Crocker-Harris for having made a poor joke, and also because none of his other friends laughed at it.

Mr Crocker-Harries is not a sadist like some other masters. He does not get pleasure out of giving pain. If he were a sadist, he would not be so frightening. It would show he has some feelings, but he hasn’t any. He’s all dry like a nut. He seems to hate people to like him, but other masters like being liked.

Tap low is waiting for his master, Mr Crocker-Harris. He has come in to do extra work on the last day of term because he missed a day last week when he was ill. Since the weather is quite fine, he feels quite unhappy to be confined in a room. He might as well be playing golf.

Answer:
Tap low is a boy of sixteen. He is still in the lower fifth. He can’t specialise until the next term if he gets his form/division all right. Since his master, Mr Crocker-Harris has not told him the result, he will have to wait till the next day to learn his fate.
