SECOND TERM AT MALORY TOWERS2017-09-12
Malory Towers is a series of six novels by English children's author Enid Blyton. In 2009, six more books were added to the series by author Pamela Cox, who has also made additions to Enid Blyton's St. Clare's series. The school is based on the girls' boarding school Benenden School that Blyton's daughter attended, and that relocated during the war to the Cornish seaside. The series follows the protagonist, Darrell Rivers on her adventures and experiences in boarding school. Pamela Cox's 2009 books, however, take place after she has left the school and focuses on her younger sister, Felicity Rivers. The first protagonist Darrell Rivers' name is clearly drawn from Blyton's second husband's name, Kenneth Darrell Waters.In the second form at Malory Towers, Darrell Rivers comes back to school with her best friend Sally Hope.
When they all are in their dormitory that first night, they find out that there are three new girls. They are : Belinda Morris (a girl who has a great talent in art), Ellen Wilson (who earned a scholarship and is extremely serious), and last, but not least, Daphne Millicent Turner (an envious girl who befriends Gwendoline Mary Lacey, another spoilt, envious only child. She is believed to be very wealthy indeed).
The next day, Darrell's best friend - Sally Hope - is announced Head Girl of the Second Form. Alicia Johns, who was top of their form last term, becomes jealous because she is not even in the running for the head of form (she is not chosen because of her hardness). Daphne is a poor student with no aptitude for studies and games. Gwendoline Mary Lacey the spoilt,selfish,conceited,and snobbish girl of the form is very much impressed by Daphne's wealth, prettiness, and gracefulness. While Daphne's French is poor she is desperate for help but won't take any coaching from the two French mistresses.
Little Mary Lou who is timid, shy, loyal and kind, offers to help her without realising that she did Daphne's work for her. Gwen becomes jealous of her friend's attention of Mary Lou but Daphne tells her that she is just using Mary Lou but this is not entirely true because Daphne likes her. Ellen worries herself because of her work which is not brilliant as she would like. It is revealed that Ellen comes from a poor family and she had worked extremely hard during the holidays to win the only scholarship that could take her to Malory Towers.
Alicia and her best friend Betty Hill from West Tower feel restless and decide to play a trick on their singing master Mr. Young. They rub invisible chalk on his piano seat and when he gets up a bright pink pattern is shown on his suit. They are begged to play the trick again but this time Darrell writes the word "Oy" on the French mistress Mam'zelle Dupont's seat.
The next excitement are the French plays. The girls are not excited about this because both the Mamzelles produce them and had quite different ideas. Mamzelle Dupont wants her favourite Daphne to play both of the lead parts in the plays. Daphne charms Mamzelle Dupont by charming her beautiful smile which gets her out of trouble by most of her teachers except Miss Potts, Mamzelle Rougier and Miss Parker. Mamzelle Rougier dislikes Daphne because of Daphne's under handed character and poor quality of work. She wants to make Darrell and Sally the lead characters instead. Mamzelle Rougier argues with Mamzelle Dupont about over the choice of whom should play the lead parts in the plays. Their argument interests the children and Belinda makes some marvellous caricatures of the two mistresses in which Mamzelle Dupont is portrayed as the herione and Mamzelle Rougier as the villain. This is so because Mamzelle Dupont had a great sense of humour and was more liked by the students than the other Mamzelle who is sour and bad tempered.
Belinda bounds the sketches in a neat book and Alicia advises her to place the book during the French lesson the next day for Mamzelle Dupont because she would laugh and enjoy herself. Belinda agrees and does so. Alicia happens to know that tomorrow Mamzelle Rougier will take the lesson not the other Mamzelle she tells this to Betty only. Next day the class are shocked. Mamzelle Rougier sees the book and is furious and goes off to Miss Grayling, the head mistress. Sally and Belinda decide to go and own up to Miss Grayling.
In the meanwhile Mamzelle Dupont passes by the classroom and sees Mary Lou crying. She is informed of the incident and goes to see Miss Grayling as well. She sees the humorous side of the pictures and puts everything right. The girls apologise and their apologies are accepted. Mamzelle Rougier apologises to the girls for over-reacting and her choice of girls were chosen for the plays. A generous offer by Mamzelle Dupont.
Ellen works exceedingly hard yet can produce bad or ordinary work as a result of her over working she becomes ill. When she recovers she asks for extra coaching but is refused because the mistresses think that Ellen sho
