04 The Head Girl Of The Chalet School - Plot & Excerpts
Grizel, the Robin, and Miss Carthew escorted them to the lake-landing where the Chalet School boat was moored, and saw them off, Miss Carthew, who was holding the baby firmly, calling after them that they were to stay as long as they wanted, since everything would go well in their absence, while Grizel waved her hand silently. “Jo seems different since Thursday,” she said to the mistress as they turned to go back, the Robin running on in front. Miss Carthew glanced at her. “Yes; she is beginning to grow up, a little. But you needn’t regret it, Grizel. We shall need some of our elder middles to grow up, for so many of you big girls are leaving this term.” Grizel nodded. “I know,” she said. “Gertrud, Luigia, Lisa, Eva, Dorota, and me. Rosalie may go too, if her people come home, as they were saying. That leaves very few of our original girls indeed. Jo will be sixteen next term, though it hasn’t seemed possible till this last day or two. I think she will make a splendid senior, don’t you?”
