Ms Kathleen's

Screen 17 of 26

The Professor wakes up in Lola's bed the next morning (it is hinted that they have slept together but the Professor can’t remember what exactly happened). Lola has a singing bird which comes as a delight to the Professor. She prepares breakfast for the two of them, which leads to the final part of her plan to trap her new love interest. The Professor runs to school when he hears the school bells. Because he is so late for class, a student is able to draw intricate drawings of the Professor's antics the previous night including one that depicts him as Cupid in love with Lola. The Professor tries to punish the students, but can't keep them under control. The head of the school realizes that Professor Rath's authority has been undermined and decides that his actions have damaged his reputation to the point where he must be dismissed.

The Professor is left with no choice but to follow his heart and propose to Lola. He packs up his items from the classroom and goes to her. One shot of the Professor in the empty classroom shows his despair, as well as being another indication of things to come. The group of travelling artists Lola is in with are packing to leave for another town as the Professor arrives. He proposes to marry to keep her. This leads first to her laughing, almost mocking him, which hurts the Professor, but then she suddenly accepts his offer. Lola is a master at playing mind games and with men’s hearts.
