UPPER FOURTH AT MALORY TOWERS2017-09-13
This and First Term are the best of the series (perhaps I just like reading about Darrell going mad and attacking people). Darrell is now head girl of her form, and the girls are working for the School Cert., a tough formal exam. Gwen is as bad as ever, and new girls once more provide a good deal of the action. In the Upper Fourth, the new girls are Clarissa Carter, and twins Connie and Ruth. Darrell's young sister Felicity joins the school for the first time, as does Alicia's cheeky young cousin June. Like Darrell in her first term with Alicia, Felicity admires the 'daredevil, cocksure' June and wants to be her Friend. Darrell, now a sensible head girl, tries to discourage the friendship. But June has other ideas...
Connie and Ruth join the school at the start of the term, and the girls quickly notice that Connie is by far the most dominant twin. Ruth in fact hardly says anything and when she tries, Connie finishes her sentences. But the girls, while thinking this is a bit unhealthy, don't try to interfere too much.
Another new girl arrives after the term has started. Alas for her, Gwendoline has spied a letter for her, addressed to 'The Honourable Clarissa Carter'. Aha, thinks Gwen, another chance to have a rich friend I can stay with in the Hols.
Clarissa arrives, and at first Gwen is disappointed. She is mousy and meek looking, and (horrors!), wears thick glasses and dental braces. But an Honourable is an Honourable, and Gwen soon muscles in. Almost as good as Clarissa's wealth, Gwen thinks, is that she has a weak heart and must be excused games and swimming. No forced dips in the freezing pool! Gwen's mind begins to tick...
The girls become a little concerned at Gwen and Clarissa's friendship, knowing Gwen is telling tales of previous terms—Darrell slapping her in the pool, Ellen trying to cheat, Bill constantly disobeying Miss Peters, Daphne stealing...poor Clarissa starts to think that Malory Towers is a hotbed for thieves, cheats and idiots. Darrell expresses her concern and Alicia is quick to get a dig in about it—do something, you're head girl, aren't you?
While Clarissa is still in Gwen's clutches, the girls decide to go on a walk and picnic to have a break from their studying. Clarissa says that her own nurse lives near the hill the girls are intending to have their picnic on. Gwen is delighted—she can get out of climbing the hill and eat indoors without those nasty insects biting at her. Clarissa asks her nurse if they can come to tea. But when they get there, they find that Nurse thought the whole class was coming and she has prepared a spread accordingly. What a waste of food! Clarissa thinks. Then the girls have the idea of bringing all the food back to the school and having a midnight feast. They enlist the help of their classmates and the food is hidden near the pool. The weather is hot, so the girls will have a midnight swim before eating.
But Alicia is plotting. Her best friend Betty is from West Tower, and one of the strictest rules at Malory Towers is that girls cannot leave their towers at night to meet friends from other towers. Alicia hatches a plan—Betty should come down to the pool after midnight and say she heard noises; once there, the girls can hardly not invite her to join the feast.
The feast at first goes to plan. Betty and two friends turn up, much to the discomfort of Darrell who knows the rules full well and also knows that if they are caught she must take responsibility. Then the English weather kicks in and it starts raining, so they move indoors. The room furthest away from the mistresses is, oddly, the first form common room, so in the Upper Fourth troop. Darrell is even more uncomfortable now, but feels she can't ask the West Tower girls to leave. Then they hear a soft tapping at the door...
The irrepressible June has found out about the feast and is out of bed with a reluctant Felicity, trying to spy. As luck would have it, June finds a hard-boiled egg on the floor and brazenly decides to return it. When the scared fourth formers open the door, June saunters in and starts eating the egg while she is talking to them. Oops. Well, she may as well finish it now...and why not sit down? Poor Darrell is very miserable, knowing there will be big trouble if girls from another tower and first formers are caught with them.
Not much gets past Miss Potts, and the next day a scared Felicity comes to tell Darrell that crumbs and a ginger beer bottle found under the sofa are being held in evidence. June apparently is thinking of going to Miss Potts and telling all. Darrell rushes off to find her.
June is in the music room, infuriatingly playing a little scale on the piano and not looking at Darrell. I feel guilty, ses June, and I must go to Miss Potts and own up. Darrell knows June is just trying to get her in trouble, and once more the famous temper rises. She grabs June, pulls her off the piano stool, and starts shaking her. Enter Miss Potts. Darrell
