A: [Laughs] Miss McIntosh.
J: Yes, Miss McIntosh.
A: But just among you kids, you would call her Tosh.

A: That’s really cute, I like that nickname. And what did you think of Miss McIntosh?
J: Of her herself?
A: Mm, hmm.
J: She was very proper. She dressed proper. She was a dignified, elegant lady. And she was just very good, a very nice person, but she was a very strict person about her music.
