(no subject)

All full up on thinky thoughts, about new girls and school stories and schoolgirl honour, and the "redemption" of the bad girls and those who never got "redeemed", the ones the Chalet School staff refer to as their failures, people like Thekla von Stift and Betty Wynne-Davies and all the other girls from all the other schools who were either expelled or quietly asked to leave. And not just those girls but girls like Grizel Cochrance, Joan Baker and Gwendoline Mary Lacey who just never fit the model of the Chalet School girl or the Malory Towers girl but were never bad enough for expulsion; rather just not quite "right".
