“When two schools combine under one headship, the girls of both schools start the year determined to put the others in their place. New girl Pauline Wetherell is drawn to one side, but Marianna Theckleway - 'The Boy' - tries to remain neutral. Tensions escalate between the rival factions and headmistress Mademoiselle Loys comes up with an unusual solution. Altogether it's a most uncomfortable term for everyone.”
