Margery is still glaring vehemently at Sam, clearly peeved at the manner in which he has been addressing Mr. T, as she is really quite protective of him. Normally she only feels the need to slice that vile Richard Blunt and his lot to bits, but this kid is grating on her nerves with his overreactions and snap judgements. Growing up in this place, she knows very well how it can be to have one's self subjected to the whims of bad first impressions. It is rather inevitable here, given that every person draws their life from someone who has already set their mark on the world, that mark greatly affecting their respective clone. She and Sweeney have never exactly been admired for their original's, given that the first Missus Lovett and Sweeney Todd were infamous murderers who used the meat of victims to run a rather popular meat pie store. That sort of gruesome foundation isn't exactly attracting a large amount of potential friends, which may be part of the reason why the two of them have grown so close over the years. Margery easily considers him to be her best friend, all romantic feelings set aside.
It is also the reason why, when Sweeney asks that she not bicker with Sam, Margery sighs, but reluctantly pulls her glaring eyes away from the fellow and places them back on her surroundings. After Gaius has been led away by the doctor, Sweeney makes a second introduction, this time giving the identity of his original as well. When he names insulting her as one of his triggers, Margery does her best not to look sort of pleased by the fact, and prays that she isn't turning pinkish.
Soon, Hollis is kind of towed off by Ami and Abe, while the dreadfully irritating Samuel is left behind with she and Sweeney, standing there like the useless, limp thing that he is. Now inclined to harbor resentment towards him, Margery has trouble seeing anything but flaws in the bespectacled young man; something likely evident by the critical look in her brown eyes. As though the day simply hadn't had its fill of foul people, she notices as a tall blond boy walking towards the group, a smug look on his face as he shouts at them about being late to class. Margery cannot help but roll her eyes, too caught up in her dislike of Richard to properly notice the way that Sweeney steps beside her protectively. At Sweeney's cold threat, Margery smirks, raising one eyebrow at Richard, who seems to pause with fright for a moment.
"I think that sounds like a lovely idea. I'd even give you a free meatpie- on the house, for a friend. I see that Ottoman's missing- how curious," she taunts him, though of course it is merely a bluff. Still, Richard is so intent on the idea of them being mirror images of their originals that he seems even more disturbed by this, the haughty look in his eye diminished slightly by fear.
Almost immediately upon entering the classroom, Ami is pulled out by a somewhat small boy who appears to have a slight stutter, from the snatches of speech that Hollis hears as she walks over to the teacher. Without her even needing to say anything, Einstein smiles and nods, "You are our new student, correct? You do not have to take the test, but it is review, so you may if you so desire."
Everyone else seems to be occupied, so Hollis opts to take the test purely out of any decent alternatives. With a bright smile, she thanks the teacher, andth en takes the sheet to an empty desk, at which she gets to work on the test. It is as easy as he had suggested that it would be, and Hollis flies through it rather quickly. She is thankful that Math is her first class- if it had been history or English, she'd have fallen asleep already, and that is hardly a smart idea for starting a new school, regardless of the school's somewhat outlandish quirks. There had to be some sort of normality, after all, even if found only in the typical school rules.
