In Chapter 3 of “Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” the protagonist, Mr. Chipping, has settled into a small, comfortable room provided by Mrs. Wickett. Despite the unimpressive appearance of the house, its convenience is what matters to him. Mr. Chipping enjoys strolling to the playing fields to watch the boys’ games in the mild weather.
He takes pleasure in interacting with the students, particularly the new boys, whom he invites to tea. The chapter describes his ritual of ordering a walnut cake with pink icing and crumpets from Reddaway’s for these occasions. Mr. Chipping is depicted as a warm and welcoming host, carefully preparing tea and getting to know the newcomers by asking about their backgrounds and family connections at Brookfield.
The chapter provides insight into his genuine interest in the students and his fondness for hospitality. Additionally, there is a brief mention of his reminiscences about a former student, Major Collingwood, whom he had disciplined in the past for climbing onto the gymnasium roof. The chapter concludes with Mr. Chipping making comments to Mrs. Wickett about the tea gathering and expressing awareness of Major Collingwood’s subsequent fate, having been killed in Egypt.
