The Chalet School Wins the Trick

Rosalie Dene always vowed that it was she who had begun it, though she had certainly never intended it.Rosalie was one of the oldest of the Old Girls of the Chalet School, a fact of which she was privately very proud. She had also been school secretary since she was twenty. As a result, there wasn’t much about the school that she didn’t know, to quote her old chum and schoolfellow, Joey Maynard.She had had a busy morning, followed by an equally busy afternoon. Her work had, moreover, been constantly interrupted by the telephone. The summer term would begin next week and life for her and the two Heads of the school was very full at the moment. She had been hard at it until half-way through the afternoon, when she found that she must break off what she was doing and hurry over to St Mildred’s, the finishing branch of the school, to consult Miss Wilson who was Head there.
