Document Summary
Matilda (1: mr. wormwood, the great car dealer, p. 26-28. They were in the living room eating their suppers on their knees in front of the telly. The suppers were tv dinners in floppy aluminium containers with separate compartments for the stewed meat, the boiled potatoes and the peas. Mrs. wormwood sat munching her meal with her eyes glued to the american soap opera on the screen. She was a large woman whose hair was dyed platinum blonde except where you could see the mousy-brown bits growing out from the roots. She wore heavy make-up and she had one of those unfortunate bulging figures where all the flesh appears to be strapped in all around the body to prevent it from falling out. Mummy, matilda said, would you mind if i ate my supper in the dining-room so i could read my book? . Supper is a family gathering and no one leaves the table till it"s over! .
