## Snapshot

## Who they are

Chapple belongs to the junior day-room world where muffins are filched and Evans's lost sovereign becomes the talk of the House. He is part of the audience for Scott's detective scheme and Pillingshot's hapless investigation, a boy whose mannerisms and reactions colour the daily life of the school. His role is to be present, to react, and to remind the reader that these dramas unfold among a whole society of boys.
