Operator? Yes, please, can I reverse the charges? It's STO 4-3-6-3.

Won't your father be cross?

Of course not. We didn't mean to take the money.

Daddy will soon sort it out. He always does.

Miss Skimpton? It's Josephine. Can I speak to Daddy, please?

Oh. Erm, it's a bit complicated.

I'll try again later. Thank you.

He's not there. I forgot he stays in town on Friday nights.

So what do we do now?

We could call your parents.

They live abroad.

We'll be in so much trouble.

We'll have to go back.

To Matron?

Come on, the others will help us.

No, they won't. They hate me.

No, they don't. You can't think that.

If we get back before classes, the teachers won't have missed us.

Jo, we have to hurry!

Please?

Why didn't Connie wake me before they went to Miss Grayling?

She's doing the right thing her way.

They took the money, but now they're owning up it.

Yes, Miss Grayling will respect them for it.

They'll be in so much trouble.

I can't just sit here. I need to know what's going on.

BELL RINGS

Look at the time. We'll be late for breakfast.

Laundry day!

We will get an order mark if we don't strip the beds.

I'll do Jo's. I'll sort Ruth's.

Lacrosse against Woodhouse, we'll need a bus.

Miss Grayling, a bus against Woodhouse?

I'm sorry, yes, it's fine.

Is everything all right? I'm not sure.

I'm waiting for the Second Year to tell me who took the missing money.

No-one's come forward?

What rotten form. Hmm.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Come in.

Can I help you, Ruth?

Erm...sorry...I just thought

Connie was here.

And Jo, too.

No, I haven't seen them.

Why would you think they were here?

They should still be at breakfast. We might be in time.

Only if they haven't ratted on us.

Trust me, Ruth will help.

CAR HORN BEEPS

It's the police!

She's reported us!

We have to run. Come on.

Wait, where will we go?

If we stay here any longer, we'll be arrested!

BELL PEALS

SHE SIGHS

BELL CHIMES

Ruth, you need to tell us.

Is this related to the missing money?

This is serious. Two girls are missing. They could be in danger.

We all tried to get Jo to tell us.

About the missing money?

We thought that Jo might've taken it.

£5 of it was hers.

So Josephine took her money, then helped herself to £4 more.

Maybe she didn't mean to take it all.

Can I help look for them?

No, you need to leave this to us.

The police will find them. You're to go to class.

I have to find Connie! Please let me.

I can't sit in lessons, I really can't.

Having lessons will be a good distraction.

I have a free study. Maybe I could look with her?

And it's Saturday, we'll both be free after lunch.

Please, I know Connie better than anyone.

There might be places you didn't look.

Very well, but please stay with Darrell and don't go far.

Thank you.

I think we're safe.

Yes, but for how long?

Look! We can hide in there for now.

Look, breakfast.

Jo, it's not ours.

It's only a tin of pilchards.

It's stealing. Jo, again?

We need to eat, it will help us plan.

We have to get to my house.

Where is it?

Barton Posset. It's less than an hour by train.

How will we buy the tickets?

One thing we're not short of is money.

It's why we're in this mess, remember?

The money's still at school.

What? Why didn't you bring it?

I left it there for Ruth, so she could show everyone

that we're not thieves.

That didn't work, did it? Miss Grayling called the police.

RUSTLING

BIRD CAWS

Did you hear that?

Someone's coming!

DOOR OPENS

THEY SCREAM

Fred! Thank goodness!

What are you two doing here?

What about you? It's my uncle's place.

Wait, are you the two girls the police are looking for?

You two are in so much trouble!

HORSE NEIGHS

The riding hats are still in the tack room.

All the horses are here, too.

Ruth, that's good news.

If they'd gone off on a horse, that could've been very dangerous.

Connie tried to talk to me. Why didn't I listen?

Don't blame yourself. Connie's done this, not you.

BELL PEELS

I'm sorry. I'm just so worried.

We WILL find them soon.

Do you have any money?

We need some for the train ride home.

I'm down to my last sixpence.

Wait...I have two shillings...

..in my blazer at school.

Matron Shipley trusted me to keep it after we went to the village

last time. Fred, you could sneak in.

You're not serious?

It's only in the changing room. The money's in my blazer pocket.

Bring mine, too...please?

What about the village? Can't we look there?

Miss Grayling did say not to go too far. Let's find her.

Maybe there's some news by now.

What's he up to? Fred doesn't usually work inside.

What if Fred gets caught?

He won't. He'll get the money, and then we'll go to Daddy, and...

Stop...saying that. Even if we get to your father, he can't fix this!

Of course he can. It's just a silly misunderstanding.

No, it's not! Jo, this is serious!

Miss Grayling called the police!

What if we're expelled?

So what if we are? I've been expelled before.

But I can't not be with Ruth! What have we done?

BELL CHIMES, CLOCK TICKS

DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS

Where did he go?

What is it? Are you all right?

It's...Connie. She's upset.

It's hard to explain.

You can feel it?

It's always been the same since we were little.

Oh, Connie.

"Josephine Jones" - nice one.

And "Connie Batten".

COIN RATTLES

He's in the changing rooms!

That's odd.

But what made that noise?

Hello, Fred.

Ey-up.

What if Ruth doesn't talk to me ever again?

Well, that's her loss.

I should have told her what we were doing.

I always tell Ruth everything, she's my best friend.

That doesn't mean I don't like you, too.

It's all right. It must be special having a twin.

I don't have any siblings.

I'm not sure I've ever even had a proper friend before.

But why? You're such good fun.

I suppose I've never stayed in a school for long enough.

How many have you been to?

Honestly, I've lost count.

Daddy says only the best, so we keep trying different ones.

What does your mother think?

Does she just agree with your father?

Erm, no, I...

Well, actually, I don't have a mother.

Oh, Jo, that's so sad.

RUSTLING

Someone's coming.

The hero returns. Perfect timing. We should run,

we don't want to miss the train.

No-one will be running anywhere.

You've been here the whole time? Everyone's been looking for you!

Please, Ruth, I really am sorry.

Fred, thank you for bringing us,

but you should really stay out of this now.

You two, back to school!

What will happen to them?

That's up to Miss Grayling.

We had to run away. Everybody was being so mean.

They even stopped talking to us.

Yes, they told me about that.

It was a bit mean, but they were only trying to get you to own up.

Well, Connie was beside herself.

Well, look at her now. Running away hasn't exactly helped, has it?

Ruth, please, stop!

I don't know what else to say, but I can't bear this.

I'm a total...idiot. I know I am.

Please, I'll do anything.

It's a bit late for that.

I need us to be like we were.

Whatever happens, you've always got me.

Right, come on, we need to go.

CAR HORN BEEPS

Oh, erm, car coming, keep in.

To the side! Yoo-hoo!

Daddy!

HE CHUCKLES

See, Connie, I told you he'd fix everything!

We'll be fine now.

Daddy!

Jojo, you nearly knocked me over!

Daddy, I'm in so much trouble.

Oh, don't be silly, darling.

It's just a bit of fun, isn't it?

It's not just a bit of fun, it's far more serious.

Well, I'll tell Miss Grayling what's what, then we can go for some tea,

how does that sound?

Thank you, Daddy!

Come on, girls.

Yes, come on!

That's it, in you hop.

ENGINE STARTS

To Miss Grayling.

Did either of you for one minute consider your parents?

Connie, I can't tell you how anxious your father sounded.

Oh, both girls are fine. Really, it's just a bit of a prank.

Mr Jones, it is not just a prank.

Money has been taken.

It was a sizeable amount.

My daughter's not a thief.

£9 was stolen from the safe in Matron Shipley's office.

Josephine?

But I didn't mean to. Really, I didn't.

So you admit you took it?

You stole?

But that's terrible.

Josephine, I can't believe it.

You need to hand all the money back now, please.

But we don't have it.

It's true. I left it behind,

to prove we weren't thieves.

Well, where did you leave it?

With Ruth. Ruth hasn't got it. She would've said.

But I did leave it. Really, I did.

Ruth, have you got the money?

Why would I have it?

Connie said she left it in an envelope under your pillow.

It would really help if you had it.

Honestly, I haven't seen it!

It's not there. Where is it?

It's definitely not here. They must have made it up.

Connie wouldn't make that up.

I'll have to tell Miss Grayling.

If she said she left it, she did.

So where is it?

Oh, no...

The envelope's got to be here,

so keep looking!

What do you think you're doing?

It's all right, Matron, we'll put it all back.

Stop this, immediately. Look at this mess!

It's the missing money, we think it might be here.

I said stop, now!

Stand to attention, all of you!

Tell me, calmly, what this is all about.

I really did leave it. I put it on Ruth's bed.

I would like to believe you, but the money is still missing.

I'll pay it back. All of it.

I'll give you more if you want. How does £20 sound?

That's not the point.

They stole the money, and to make matters worse, instead of

giving it back, they seem to be lying over its whereabouts.

Girls! When a door is closed, you need to knock.

But, look, we found the money. Yes, Connie isn't a thief.

"We didn't mean to take it all.

"Jo thinks her father can help, so we've gone to find him.

"Please give the money to Miss Grayling."

Quite right, I WOULD have helped.

So Connie really was telling the truth.

She did give the money back.

Thank you, girls, you may go.

Can't Connie come, too?

No, this is still very serious.

Are we going to be expelled?

Oh, no, Miss Grayling, you can't. Please don't expel...

Girls, you need to go. Darrell, go with them.

Well, the money's returned. That's a relief.

Is it? They still stole it,

and I can't overlook that.

I can't be here if Connie's not.

If she's expelled, I'll leave, too.

No, you mustn't!

Poor Ruth. It'd be awful if she has to go.

I'm not sure I'd want to stay if you were expelled.

Felicity, there's work to be done.

Sorry, Matron Shipley.

Connie?

Are you all right? What's happening?

Miss Grayling was ever so decent.

You can stay?

But what's happening with Jo?

I know it was wrong, but...

..well, it seemed so unfair that Matron

was having my money like that.

She has a point.

I sent £5 to my daughter, not to your matron.

That's what I thought, too.

I really didn't mean to take the other money.

But that doesn't excuse it. You broke into Matron's safe.

Daddy, I'm not a thief, you have to believe that!

Of course I do, my darling.

Let's go. They can send on my things.

Mr Jones...

Daddy, please, I want to go home.

You already ran away once today, Josephine.

But you're going to expel me anyway.

And what happens at your next school?

That's if your father can even find you one.

Miss Grayling's right.

I had quite the job convincing her to take you.

But I have to leave. Everyone here hates me.

I very much doubt that.

Daddy?

Honestly, they're so mean.

I think we should hear more from Miss Grayling.

I'm out, again.

Oh, you're so jammy!

Jo? Thank goodness. You're not expelled, then?

Was it horrible?

Daddy and Miss Grayling think I can learn a lot from being here.

I can't talk about it.

She thinks none of you like her.

We're playing cards.

Would you like to join us?

Do you really want me to?

We need help beating June.

But there's room here.

Who's dealing? Susan.

I'm not losing this time.

Aces are high.

THEY LAUGH
