When she marched- Miss Trunchbull never walked, she always marched like a storm trooper with long strides and arms aswinging-when she marched along a corridor you could actually hear her snorting as she went and if a group of children happened to be in her path, she ploughed on through them like a tank, with small people bouncing off her to the left and right’.
