This is the trouble with war. We see just a bunch of grey-faced threats, but they are real people, and so are we. The grey-faced threats stay in the war offices or the bunkers and shove real people into the firing line.
It was an evocative piece, thanks.

"True. And I've no desire to spend the rest of term sleeping in san. No one would ever let either of us forget it. People still rake up that old tale of Biddy having to sleep with Nell."
"What?"
As Kathie's eyebrows shot up, Peggy chuckled. "Mean to say no one's told you that yarn yet? Ask Biddy about it sometime - or Nell. Or better still, both. It's simply not the same story if you don't hear it from their points of view."
Are you going to write this one? Please?
The Famous Five attend the Chalet School, it was supposed to be a serious crossover, but as with most of my stuff it had decended into syphilis inspired madness by about the third post... (that is syphilis for the Famous Five and not me I would like to add)

"Freddie was extremely relieved that his mother-in-law didn’t manage to get anywhere near Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh: he’d had horrible visions of her using the occasion to raise the question of a baronetcy for Jack."
Imagine it!
Karen is blissfully happy in her new life, but her successor at the Chalet School isn't happy at all with the way that the domestic staff are treated either there or at Freudesheim, and is determined to bring about change by whatever means are necessary.

"They didn’t have to pay school fees for the girls, obviously."
This has annoyed me for a long time. Why didn't they have to pay fees? It's utter codswallop that the Maynarnds shouldn't pay fees for their girls. I understand why Joey's fees were not a problem, but once the School was not merely a vehicle to save Madge and Joey from penury, the Maynards should have been treated like any other parents, such as the Ozannes, Chesters and Lucys. My father worked at my school, but I don't remember them waiving any fees which were charged to other parents!
Author's Response: Maybe Madge thought she owed Dick and Joey because she'd set up the school with the proceeds of selling the family home ... but she was the one who did all the work, and she and Jem supported Joey whilst she was living at Die Rosen. Jem's sister Margot got a job, even though she had two little kids. It must have cost the school a fortune, given how many daughters Joey had - all money that could have gone on new equipment or pay rises for the staff :-).
Date: 22 Mar 2018 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
This is the way it should be. Everyone is worth as much as everyone else, and the school runs smoothly only when everyone does their own job to the best of their abilities. And no one is taken advantage of. It's a bit like the business with Jocelyn Marvell thinking Kathie Ferrars shoud take them for speed-boating practice in her free time.
I come from a family of teachers, and they work so much more than most people think. My father used to do the timetable in what other people thought was his summer holiday. It's never as simple on the inside as it seems from the utside, and this story is wonderful.
Author's Response: Thank you!

I know how she feels.
But, after all, she was Head Girl when that particular incident with the Trips happened, and therefore she was not so much butting in there as filling her role. Joey took Joyce Linton to task in something of the same manner.
I'd bet Kathie would reply, and I'd like to see that exchange of letters.
Author's Response: Thanks - this was written a long time ago - I don't know if I could carve out enough time these days to carry the idea on but I'll think about it.
