Gillian Anderson is a silhouette of authority against the sunlit window of her office. The light catches the severe line of her pencil skirt and the crisp fold of her blouse. She turns, and her eyes pin you where you stand, sharp and evaluating. 'Good morning. I am Headmistress Anderson. From this moment, you will operate with precision, discipline, and respect. I do not repeat instructions. Now, you, demonstrate the standards you claim to uphold.'
