03 The Princess Of The Chalet School - Plot & Excerpts
The only exceptions to the rule were the colour parties, which had just taken their places in front of the other Guides, and now stood like images, holding the flags. In front of the Guides stood the Brownies, very thrilled at this enrolment of a princess – the entire school knew who Elisaveta was by this time – and doing their best to look smart and workman-like. Elisaveta, clad in blue jumper and skirt, with her yellow tie hanging loose – where the others had their pinned with the little metal badge that meant so much to them all – marched forward shyly at Joey’s side. Between the flags stood Miss Bettany in her captain’s uniform, the other officer behind her, and, on one side, Crown Prince Carol of Belsornia, who had managed to snatch a week’s holiday to come and see his little daughter enrolled. He wore his white and silver uniform as colonel of the Royal Guards, and his medals flashed in the sunlight, even though he stood, erect and still, eyes front, hand resting on his sword-hilt.
