Abstract
This page intentionally left blankThe following winter I was too engrossed in myself to think how deeply Catherine had meant that remark to me.Through her and Jerome my whole world had opened up; through them I was meeting people I had previously read about only in books.My weekends in town became series of mental explosions, and at school after the day's work I used to sit up in bed for hours reading books about politics, history and the ideas which flamed in that peculiar time.Jerome seemed to know everyone in Montreal whose brain was alive, and most of them came from Europe or other parts of Canada.The old dynasty still ruled the city, as oblivious as mandarins to new faces and new ideas, but they were there: after a long, long time they were there at last and they were turning Montreal, in spite of itself, into a real world city.Coming back to Waterloo from those Montreal weekends was like stepping back into the colonial nineteenth century.Light can blind you more than darkness, and this sudden new light blinded me to signs that now would have been obvious to me. C H A P T E R I''I'll put it on, Mummy."I watched Sally go out the door and behind me the phone rang.Jack was nearest and he picked it up, and after half a minute and a few monosyllables he turned to me."That was Jerome.He says he's been held up but will be here in a few minutes.He tells us to get our own drinks.Do you want one?"I did, and after thinking it over Jack decided he wanted one too."Has Jerome been busier than usual?"I asked him.Jack gave a slight shrug but made no comment.We sipped our drinks silently, after a while the barrel organ stopped playing and a little later Sally came in again.I asked her to get a vase for Catherine's tulips but she preferred to play with Jack, so I got one myself and brought it into the living room with the tulips arranged.Jack was down on the floor with Sally looking as much at ease as an elder statesman playing with a child at election time and Sally was demanding to know why her father was not here."I haven't seen Daddy all week!" she said."Not all week!"Then she ran upstairs to talk to her mother and Jack resumed his seat with an expressionless face.After a while he said in his abrupt way: "Out of the mouths of babes.I don't like it.""What don't you like?" "Of course it's none of my business what he does.""What who does?" "Jerome, naturally.Tell me something -is he, or is he not, a communist?""I don't think he's one.""Are you one?" "No."Jack made an impatient gesture: "But the whole lot of you talk like a pack of Reds all the time.Girls and boys together.That little O.R. nurse, that Blackwell girl -she's a pal of yours too, isn't she?" "I wouldn't call her that.I've known her a while, but -look here, what are you driving at?""Jerome sees too much of her.He has no sense of form and I don't like it.Apart from being bad for the hospital, it's bad for him.Now that girl's certainly a communist, and the two of them have been seen at too many meetings not to get themselves talked about.I don't like it.Mind you, I'm not saying anything more than that."

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
