Has anyone seen my hairpin?

I can't find my other sock...

Darrell, here!

- Thank you. - Irene, catch!

- Alicia... - Good catch!

Please...

- It's not funny. - Darrell, come on.

Alicia, Mary-Lou, please...

Here, Mary-Lou, catch!

- Hurry, pass! - Girls, wait!

- Alicia. - Mary-lou.

Oh, Sally.

Please stop messing around.

If Matron sees this mess

you know that I'm the one who's going to get into trouble.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Oh, Darrell, come here. I have something to show you, come!

My brothers sent a new trick.

It looks like the best one yet.

Sneeze, boys, sneeze...

- What does that mean? - We'll soon find out.

Let's play it on Mam'zelle.

I don't want Sally to get in trouble or any of us.

She won't... we won't.

- Sure? - What are you two up to now?

Nothing.

I... I was just wondering about Miss Grayling's plans

about Mr Thomas taking down the school.

I know you're worried, but let the grown-ups deal with it.

Now, come on...

We need to go and polish our shoes for the school trip

and tidy up before breakfast.

Please, Darrell. We haven't played a trick in ages.

- No, Alicia... - Come on.

Everyone deserves a laugh, especially Sally.

And you know what Mam'zelle has planned for us today, don't you?

Nouns and pronouns.

I don't know...

Come on, Darrell. Please?

Fine!

Come on! We better hurry!

I can't wait to see the castle tomorrow!

Me neither! Feels like an age since our last school trip!

My grandmother has sent me a bag of boiled sweets

for travel sickness, so I'll hand them out on the coach.

That's so kind, Mary-Lou.

You can sit next to me, Mary-Lou.

I shall need the window seat.

As you know, I get awfully travel sick.

Do you ever think about anyone but yourself, Gwen?

Oh, Jean. Why on earth would she do that?

Actually, I was going to offer to treat you all to ices.

Really? Thanks, Gwen!

Ices for everyone?

Goodness! Your parents must send you lashings of pocket money.

Now we'll definitely have a fun day!

Has no one seen my hairpin?

I swore I put it away.

Have you looked under your bed?

It's not there. Oh, it was a gift from my mother.

I must find it.

What does it look like? We'll help you search.

It's silver with three pearls. It had four, but one fell off.

Have you seen it, Gwen?

No, I haven't.

You'll have to leave it for now. We'll be late for lessons.

"Crush the sneezing pellet and sprinkle the powder.

2. For the pellet to take full effect

it must be in close proximity to the subject."

- Are we sure this is safe? - Yes.

I don't know, maybe Sally was right.

Will you stop worrying about Sally?

Now, come on, hurry.

There we go!

All right, step back!

- Oh, Darrell! - Sorry!

Come on, hurry, before we start sneezing.

- Have you found them all? - Yes, I think so.

Quick, before Mam'zelle comes.

You know, it's nice to have the fun old Darrell back.

Come on!

Ron, I've been looking all over for you.

Be a sport and cycle into town for me, please.

You've ran out of treats, have you?

Actually, I need you to take this

to the antique shop in the village and sell it.

It was a gift from my great aunt, but it's not really to my taste.

Sorry, I've got a lot of work to do today.

Please, Ron.

Oh, please Ron!

You mustn't say a word.

You see, I promised the girls ices

but my pocket money hasn't come through this month.

- Tell them. They'll understand. - I can't!

It's humiliating not to keep a promise.

Please, I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate.

That looks quite precious.

Are you sure you want to sell it?

The girls are ever so excited

and I wouldn't want to let them down.

I'll give you money for an ice too!

Please!

All right, then. I'll try and get you a good price for it.

Thank you. And don't tell anyone, will you?

It's just... I'd be awfully embarrassed if they knew.

Scout's honour.

(French) Good morning, girls.

- Good morning, Mam'zelle Rougier. - Good morning, Mam'zelle Rougier.

Allez, allez.

Mam'zelle, did you speak to Miss Grayling

about Mr Thomas's plans?

Yes, yes, I told Miss Grayling the second form were concerned.

Now, let us focus on the lesson, s'il vous plait.

- Noms... - Not long now...

et pronoms.

Mam'zelle, do we have to?

Silence.

Considering how little you know

you should not complain.

Now, open your books...

- Bless you! - Bless you!

Pardon.

Now let's begin with...

C'est alors!

Mam'zelle...

Mam'zelle...

Oh, merci, Sally.

I am sorry, girls, I could not help it. I...

Oh, dear me...

Here is another...

Girls! It is not kind to laugh at another's discom... fort!

Sally, can you collect the preps for me

and continue the lesson while I compose myself?

Yes, Mam'zelle. Are you going to be all right?

I hope so. Never have I sneezed so much before...

- What was that? - Did something crawl up her nose?

- Was that one of your tricks? - If it was, bravo!

It got us out of the most boring lesson.

Ladies, may I present to you "Sneeze, Boys, Sneeze".

Or shall I say "Sneeze, Mam'zelle, Sneeze".

- That was topping! - Why, thank you!

But, I couldn't have done it

without my marvellous assistant, Darrell Rivers.

Isn't she swell?

It wasn't funny or kind.

Mam'zelle was really uncomfortable!

Don't be such a bore, Sally.

You were right. If she found out, she would've spoiled the trick.

Darrell?

No, I... I didn't mean it like that.

It's not a big deal, Sally.

You girls have nothing better to do than waste my time.

Has anyone seen Irene's hairpin?

We did try and look for it this morning, Matron.

You've all become very untidy and careless.

I had Georgina Thomas complaining

about her mirror going missing and now this.

Come along! Tidy this room from top to bottom!

Open up your trunks!

I will show you how to do things properly.

Yes, rolling is not folding.

Hurry up, Gwendoline. We haven't all evening.

You haven't even opened your trunk yet.

I can't find my key.

Key?

Why is your trunk locked?

To keep my things safe.

Oh, give me strength.

Right, has anyone seen Gwen's key?

You had it this morning. We saw you open your trunk.

Well, Miss Lacey?

Girls!

Excusez-moi, Matron, but I must speak to the Head of Form.

Continue tidying please.

I'll be back later.

Come with me, Sally.

The rest of you stay here.

Alicia!

You girls continue to test me.

And you think I do not know?

It was a trick, was it not?

A trick?

The sneezing!

First, that drawing. Une horreur!

And now, this!

Do you girls not like me anymore?

What have I done to deserve all this?

Answer me! Was it a trick?

No, Mam'zelle... I don't think so.

I hope you are telling the truth.

If not, you and whoever is responsible

will both be in a great deal of trouble.

(French) Understand?

It's not me spoiling your fun.

I just don't want to see anyone hurt or get in trouble.

Let's hope Mam'zelle doesn't take it any further.

I am sure those girls played a cruel trick.

Oh, you French are so dramatic.

You probably got a little bit of dust up your nose.

It's...

So, how much did you get?

The owner of the shop said once the brooch has sold

you take that back to collect your money.

What?

I'm sorry, but they don't pay upfront.

What about my money for the school trip?

You really are quite useless.

I left my chores to go into town for you!

Well, it was for nothing.

Now, what am I going to do?

Say you'll treat them on your next trip.

Come in.

Come here.

What is it?

Do not play the fool. You know it is a sneezing pellet!

You of all the girls, Sally.

Now, answer me honestly.

Did someone play a trick on Miss Rougier?

Yes, Matron.

I knew it!

How could you lie to me?

No, Mam'zelle. I only found out after you started sneezing.

Which of the girls is responsible?

Sally?

Well, then we can only assume it was you.

- No... - In case you have forgotten

you are Head of Form!

We should be able to rely on you to tell us the truth.

Sneezing tricks can cause all kinds of harm.

I know and I'm so sorry, Matron.

It's far too late for that.

Not only did you lie to Miss Rougier

but you refuse to tell us who is to blame.

I shall inform Miss Grayling

you will be excluded from the school trip

to give you time to reflect on the error of your ways.

And you will stay with me tomorrow and complete all tasks I assign.

Now, go!

What happened?

Don't worry, I didn't tell on you and Alicia.

I've been excluded from the school trip.

I hope your trick was worth it.

Right, if you've lost your key, we will have to break your padlock.

After all, you need your belongings.

No need, Matron. I found it.

As you can see, all of my things are in order.

- And your hairpin? - I've looked all over.

My mother will be so cross.

I could've sworn I left it on my table.

Then maybe I took it off to go swimming on Sunday

- or maybe... - Oh, for goodness' sake, child.

Who knows where you lost it? It'll soon turn up.

If not, you've only yourself to blame.

Alicia! Mam'zelle and Matron found out about the pellets

and now Sally's missing the trip.

Did she tell them about us?

No, but it's unfair that she's the one being punished.

- We have to tell the truth. - What's the point?

We'll just end up missing the trip too.

Come on. You've always done the right thing.

It's different this time.

I confessed about the caricature of Mam'zelle, Matron, and Mr Parker.

I can't admit that I was responsible again.

I'll get into far more trouble than Sally.

Alicia, if you're my friend, you'll come with me.

If you're my friend, you won't force me!

Why are you being so mean?

I'm being mean? You're the one raising your voice.

Because you're being selfish!

Watch your temper, Darrell. I thought you'd put that behind you.

- That's not fair. - Then stop being such a try-hard.

I don't care. You're coming with me now!

Let me go!

- Stop! What are you doing? - Alicia, come with me!

- Let me go! - What are you doing? Get off her!

- She needs to come with me! - I'm not going anywhere!

- Stop. - Alicia. Please let go!

- Stop, Darrell, let get of her! - Let go, Darrell!

I am not your friend anymore, Alicia!

Not anymore. You're a coward!

- Please, let go, stop! - Let go of me!

What is all this racket?

I believe Darrell started it!

Please, Matron, I can explain...

You save it for Miss Grayling! You too.

My understanding is it was Darrell Rivers who started it.

First, the sneezing pellets and now this.

I do not know what has got into these second formers today!

Why were you fighting?

Such behaviour is neither appropriate nor acceptable

and is most definitely not what we expect to see

from any girl at the school.

It was my fault.

Matron's right. It's my fault. Not Alicia's.

Darrell, this is not the first time

we have had a discussion about your temper.

I'm sorry, I was just upset about Sally missing the trip and...

The trick, it was my idea

and it's just unfair that Sally's the one being punished.

I see.

Unfortunately for Sally

I have to respect Matron and Mam'zelle Rougier's decision.

But Sally was being a good friend for covering for me.

Yes, and sadly your friendship has cost her this time.

Needless to say, you will be staying back tomorrow.

Go back to your dorm

and write an essay about why we do not fight.

Thank you, Miss Grayling.

Ah, here you are.

Sally, I'm... I'm so sorry.

I tried to tell Miss Grayling that the trick was all my fault

but we're both missing the trip now.

- Don't worry, Darrell. - No, it's not fair.

Alicia is the most selfish girl I have ever met.

And Miss Grayling already has enough worries as it is.

I shouldn't be adding to her troubles.

I know, but what's done is done.

Come on, at least tomorrow we'll be together.

You're a jolly decent friend, Darrell.

Thanks for standing up for me.

Am I?

I know I can be a little bit stern sometimes

but I'm just trying to be a good Head of Form.

I just keep getting it all wrong.

Sally, you're the best Head of Form

and the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

- Darrell? - Yeah?

Do you want to race to the dorm?

Three...

- Two... - One!

- Come on, Darrell! - I'm coming!

Has anyone seen Alicia?

Matron will be here soon for lights out.

No, and it will serve her right to be late.

Don't be mean. She's still part of our dorm.

And Alicia misses her family a lot. She barely gets to see them.

Besides, you all laughed at the trick.

It's not just about the trick.

Alicia's a beast for letting you and Darrell take the blame.

Well, I'm sad that you and Darrell aren't coming tomorrow

but don't worry, I'll bring you back some treats.

Oh, and Gwen is buying ices

so you'll have those to look forward to.

I think the ices will have melted by the time we get back.

Oh, yes.

Let's play. Oh, I looked at mine.

Everyone?

I know you're all cross with me, but Sally willingly took the blame

and Darrell did start the fight, so it's not entirely my fault.

Here. They're chocolate chip.

Sally?

Darrell, you want one?

Darrell?

Darrell?

Irene, did you find your pin?

You know, I lost my silver pen too.

I hope one of you hasn't hidden it?

Please, I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Can't we just put it behind us?

Sally, you go.

- No! - No! Sally...

That one was so close.

Go, Mary-lou.

It's so exciting.
