A Problem for the Chalet School

“I’ll hate it—I know I’ll hate it! Oh, why ever did the Rector and Mrs. Gay want to give a scholarship for Miss Gay’s old school?

Once you get there, you’ll love it!” she said bracingly. “You’re a very lucky girl, Rosamund, to have the chance to go to Switzerland and see all that beautiful scenery and learn to talk German and French as well as all the other lessons. Don’t talk nonsense!”
