Added DiffLines:

* DefrostingIceKing: Shyness and some poor experiences early in his career have resulted in Chipping becoming a very stuffy, humourless and withdrawn person. His wife's influence helps him to break out of this and become the much-loved figure he is by the story's end.

Added DiffLines:

* StunnedSilence: After Chips makes the IncrediblyLamePun above - having previously been notoriously stuffy and never showing any signs of humour in his teaching whatsoever - his class responds this way for a moment before bursting into roars of laughter.
