Did you finish the Latin? Oh, barely.

It's impossible, isn't it?

Is there a lot of it?

Connie? Ooh, post! Is there one for me? You must be psychic.

Jo, there's one for you, too. Oh!

It's from my Uncle Seb - he forgot my birthday. Mummy said he'd write.

Ten whole shillings - lucky you!

I know what you'll buy. Sherbet lemons.

Is that £5?! Now who's psychic?

Good morning, girls. ALL: Good morning, Matron Shipley!

Look, ten shillings from my uncle.

That was indulgent of him.

You can have two shillings on Saturday to fritter away.

What about you, Miss Jones?

Did you get anything nice? Just a letter.

Daddy sent it, it's full of news.

"My darling girl, I'm sure you deserve lots of treats, Daddy".

How is that news?

Um...

Silly me, his last letter was full of news.

Yes, that's it.

Hmm.

WHISPERING: What's Jo up to?

I can't believe Mr Parker let us swap out History for practice.

I couldn't believe you had the nerve to suggest it.

I couldn't believe he said yes!

His baby isn't sleeping too well.

Poor Mr Parker. He looks so tired.

He'd agree to swap History for an afternoon nap.

It's not just that, he wants us to play well.

He's actually on our side.

Hotshot!

How does she do that? I have no idea.

Aren't you playing? I thought you wanted to get into the team?

Can't today. That Latin prep?

Now, what a waste that would be!

What's going on?

Are you up to something?

JO SIGHS DRAMATICALLY

£5? That's 20 times more than I got.

Little Miss Money Bags.

Well, that's not very nice!

To think I was planning on sharing it, too.

I'll take a pound!

It's for extra tuck.

You could buy the whole shop!

That does sound like fun.

Just be careful, Jo.

Matron's bound to sniff it out. She always does.

So you don't want a feast?

Not if it gets us in trouble.

They'll come around.

Once they see it, they won't be able to resist.

Come along, then. Important work to do.

We can make a list, and then we can send Fred to the shop.

What if Fred won't go?

Of course he'll go.

I can be very persuasive.

What's your tiptop favourite thing?

You can have whatever your heart desires.

1-0! Felicity isn't even in goal yet.

I'll stand in until she's here.

Connie hasn't started that Latin.

Jo keeps distracting her.

Not your problem.

Let Connie work it out.

Come on, let's get warmed up.

Go on, show us how it's done.

Ready, June? Nothing gets past me!

GIGGLING

Have you got the pineapple chunks? Yes.

Ooh, Sherbet Dip Dabs?

One for everyone! You're so good at this.

Look, there's Fred!

Fred! Fred! Wait.

I have a favour to ask you!

Oh, gosh, great save!

Great shot, too.

Ouch, that looks sore.

It's just a graze.

Better wash it.

Do keepy-uppies. I'm sure Mr Parker will be impressed

if we can do those. I'll be quick!

I can't get all that. Besides, I've got to weed the potatoes.

What sweets do you like?

Pear drops.

Then add a quarter to the list as a thank you.

But only if you go straight away.

You're on!

But you'll never afford this lot.

Jo's got enough. Seriously she has.

It's gone.

The money. It was in my pocket! It's torn!

The notes must have fallen out while we were writing the list.

FRED SIGHS

Back to weeding, then.

Well, there's a find.

Er, yes.

What's happened to that knee?

We were playing foot...ball.

Oh, that needs bathing properly.

Come on, we'll soon see how bad it is.

Er, Felicity, the San's this way.

Is it?

Did you hit your head as well as your knee?

This way. Chop-chop!

Is it raining money or something?

Heavens above!

These are pound notes!

Look at this!

Oh, my!

Do you know whose this is?

It could be anybody's.

Well, anybody is going to have to explain themselves to me.

What will Daddy think of me? He'll think me so careless.

Let's try by the cloakroom.

Go slow or we might miss it.

Jo!

Jo, wait! We're busy.

Looking for your money?

You've got it? What a brick! I was scared I'd lost it.

It's not me who's got it, it's Matron.

Matron, how?

It was on the floor in the corridor. I started picking it up, but...

You let Matron have it? Felicity, how could you?!

It was hard to stop her.

I really did try! Ugh!

Matron's such a mean old goat.

Well, it's just the rules.

It's the same for everyone.

But it's my money.

Why should she have it?

Oh!

Um, maybe just keep your distance.

Jo is a bit of a loose cannon.

It's up to me, isn't it?

I thought you wanted me to make my own friends.

You're right. Sorry, but what about the Latin?

You've left it awfully late and you're already on

Mr Parker's radar.

Matron's put a notice up about the money.

Come and see!

Crikey, that's a lot of money! Was it a prefect?

It has to be one of the second. Everyone else was in lessons.

£5, though. I mean, who has that much money?

I have my suspicions.

You'll keep your ears to the ground? Of course.

"Will the person who dropped £5 in notes along the corridor,

"please come to me immediately?"

Gosh, that's a bit fierce.

It's ridiculous.

You won't be saying that when she finds out.

How can she? Malory Towers girls don't tell on their friends.

Of course we don't, but Matron Shipley is...

Felicity's right.

It's like she has a sixth sense. Matron really is a beast.

She's only doing her job.

I suppose you think this is funny.

Of course she doesn't.

Jo, we're just trying to help you.

Well, it doesn't feel like it.

We can't help if you won't listen.

Go.

Go to Matron.

Tell her it's your money and get it over with.

How can I?

I should have handed it in.

She'll explode!

So, how are you going to get your money back?

Susan's right.

Just go and tell her.

Come on, we'll be late for Maths.

JO SIGHS

Maybe they're right.

I'll come with you if you like?

I can't.

Matron will be livid and she won't give it back if I go.

I won't do it.

She's not having it, though. That money's mine.

Oh, mine looks nothing like a leaf.

Draw, around it.

Is that due in tomorrow too?

Trust me, it's easy after that Latin.

How's that going?

Don't ask.

I'm such a dolt.

I should have listened earlier.

You were right.

I will never do this in time.

It's not too hard once you understand it.

Can I show you?

I was just about to do that.

I really don't mind.

No need, I'm here now.

We'll soon crack it.

It might take a while.

Latin's my worst subject.

You are funny.

WHISPERS: We're not doing Latin.

I just didn't want to say in front of your sister.

The money.

So I have to do this.

No.

Forget about prep.

WHISPERS: I have a plan.

LAUGHTER

Action stations.

Felicity, I'm sorry about earlier.

I know I was a bit of a grouch.

I was just upset.

Don't worry. I'd be upset, too, if I'd lost all that money. Ssh.

Could you do me a favour?

Um, Connie's in a spin over that Latin prep,

and I promised her I'd help her with it.

But Mam'zelle asked me to fetch matron.

Don't worry. I'll go and get her.

Perfect. Thanks.

Ruth, have you got a minute?

Um, is it about the Latin?

No, it's something else.

Well, what is it?

Are you ready?

Yes, I'll just clear my plate.

OK.

Connie really does need to do her prep, you know.

She's so wound up.

Don't worry.

We're going for a walk, and then I'll help her finish it.

WHISPERS: Quick, let's go.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

GRAMOPHONE MUSIC PLAYS

Sorry to bother you, matron, but I...

SNORING

Matron?

LOUDER SNORING

There's...

Matron? Urgh!

I'm so sorry.

Girls are supposed to knock.

Yes, of course.

Actually, I did.

Well, what is it?

Mam'zelle wants to see you.

Oh.

No peace.

Oh.

We shouldn't be doing this.

Yes, we should.

It's outrageous that matron has it.

It's probably locked in the safe.

Let's go before we're caught.

Drat!

None of these keys fit.

Look what I found!

Mam'zelle.

Au revoir, Matron Shipley.

Is it something urgent?

Oh, not urgent, but...

C'est vrai, j'adore Ingrid Bergman.

The film star?

Oui.

They are showing Gaslight at the Ritzy.

Oh!

And you...you want me to come with you?

Oh, well, I suppose...

Would you like to come?

Do you want me to or not?

I don't not want you to.

And I'm sure my husband won't mind.

Is this a riddle?

Felicity Rivers said you needed me.

Those girls. I said no such thing.

I can deal with her tomorrow.

No need.

Enjoy your film.

Felicity Rivers!

We're in!

Matron's coming!

Why have you shut the door?

She'll see us if we go out.

She'll definitely see us in here.

There's nowhere to hide.

Matron Shipley... Oh, is there never any rest in this place?

I'm sorry, you really are needed. So what is it now?

Not another Rivers wild goose chase I hope.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. It's Vera in the first.

Poor thing, she's been sick. Can you come?

THEY SIGH WITH RELIEF

So are you in big trouble or not?

She means Latin.

We really should get on with that, shouldn't we?

You haven't started it, Connie, that's ridiculous!

You'll never finish it now.

Stop going on. You're always nagging.

Good evening, girls.

A most serious matter has come to my attention.

Money has been taken from Matron's office.

Nine whole pounds, girls.

Who would do such a thing? Why is she asking us?

I'm appalled to even say the words

but there's a thief amongst you.

Are you sure they took that much, Matron Shipley?

Quite sure.

It was taken from the safe after supper.

Has my ten shillings gone?

No, that was in a separate tin.

They must have missed it.

How did they get into the safe?

Did they blow it up?

June! This is very serious.

It appears they found Matron's keys.

Girls, if you know anything, it's best you speak up now.

Felicity,

after supper you told Matron Mam'zelle wanted to see her?

Yes, that's right.

But Mam'zelle didn't want to see me, did she?

Oh, well, that's odd, isn't it?

While I was with Mam'zelle, the money was taken.

Bit of a coincidence, don't you think?

Honestly, I was just passing on the message.

So who asked you to fetch me?

I have a feeling you can solve this on your own.

You have until the morning.

After that, I will have to involve the police.

Why didn't you say something?

Wait. Jo gave you the message?

It's you, isn't it? You took it.

Felicity, that's a big thing to say.

I mean, it's stealing.

No, it makes sense.

You were so cross about matron having it.

You're not part of this, aren't you?

Connie was with me.

I'm a victim.

My money was taken.

I'm not sure I'll ever see it again.

So turn out your pockets.

Well, go on.

Show us that you haven't got the money.

You're all beastly!

I don't know why I ever came to this stupid school!

Come on, Connie.

Connie, wait!

That was a bit much.

June's right. She only had to show us.

And I'm sorry, Ruth, but I think Jo's dragged Connie into it, too.

If Jo won't admit to it,

what do we do?

Why did you take so much?

I didn't. Are you sure?

Matron said £9 had gone.

SHE SIGHS

Oh, I only meant to take my five.

Now we really are thieves.

Ah, here, you take it.

Why me?

You heard Jean.

She wanted me to turn out my pockets.

Calm down.

No-one can prove it.

We just have to hold our nerve.

She might speak to you.

Is that worth a go?

I know what it looks like

but Connie's not a thief.

It's down to Jo.

It has to be.

They're coming.

So we all agree?

So, any news about the thief?

Ruth.

I'm sorry I didn't help Connie.

I really did mean to.

But we're going to knuckle down now.

I'm sorry, Jo.

We all think that you were the one who took the money.

And until you own up, we're not talking to you.

Well, see if I care.

At least I've got you.

Connie, why don't you come and play cards with us?

We'd all like that.

I'm Jo's friend.

If you're not speaking to her, you'll need to do the same with me.

Please don't do this.

Now look what you've done!

I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

DOOR CLOSES

They're so mean!

How dare they make you cry?

We have to go to Miss Grayling.

It's just a bit of a wobble.

It will die down.

No, it won't.

How can it?

Connie, it's my money.

But you took other money too.

Can't you see? We stole it!

Not on purpose, though.

I am not a thief!

Nor are you.

I wish Daddy was here.

The only solution is to give it back.

No! We can't now, it's gone too far.

SHE SIGHS

Take a deep breath.

Pull yourself together.

I know just what to do.

COCK CROWS

Are you all right?

Connie's not here

and Jo's gone too.

What is it?

Um, Jo and Connie aren't here.

They must have gone to own up.

Well, at least they've had some sense.

Owning up is the right thing to do.

But they stole so much.

£9 is more than most people earn in a week.

Susan's right. Miss Grayling's hardly just going to tell them off.

You don't think she'll expel them, do you?

We did it.

We're out and no-one's seen us.

Ruth will be terribly worried when I don't return.

Are you really sure this will work?

Of course.

Trust me, everything's going to be totally fine.

Hurry up, we need to get going.

Come on.
