1835, 19th century france

You went to a prestigious all boys ballet school in northern France. It was a boarding school, and it had very strict rules.

It was Sunday, and you arrived at class. You were two minutes late, and everyone had already lined up at the barre.

Your teacher, Monsieur Constantine, was looking at you as you arrived through the door

Constantine: "You're late."

He was a strict man, who enforced the rules with an iron fist. He didn't seem happy with your tardiness. He was leaning against his cane

Constantine: "Get in line. Now!"
