“Rosalie, my dear! You’re not finished already?” Miss Annersley’s golden voice was filled with wrath and her blue eyes, that had never yet needed glasses, seemed to have temporarily lost their twinkle. In fact, Rosalie ruminated, as she stood before the Headmistress, her cardigan and handbag in her hand, she hadn’t seen Hilda Annersley look so angry since, well since the last time she, Rosalie, had had some annual leave scheduled.

“Well, Miss Annersley, it is nearly nine o’clock,” Rosalie, began, glancing at the clock doubtfully. Was it showing the correct time? A swift glance out of the French windows at the darkness confirmed that it was indeed.. Oh no, Rosalie thought, in horror, I’ve done it again!

Hilda looked at her until Rosalie felt as small as the lowliest First Former. “Gillian,” she said, slowly. “You know how much it hurts me personally when you forget to use Continental time! Anyway, I have dinner plans myself this evening, so I’m afraid you’ll have to cover the office.”

“But…” Rosalie began, but seeing Hilda had already left, there was not much more to be said. She took her place behind her paper-covered desk in dismay, which was heightened further when she realised that Hilda had left her periwinkle blue cardigan strewn across it for Rosalie to hang in the cupboard.

After completely changing Inter V’s timetable to accommodate one new girl, and filing several reports in triplicate – Rosalie shuddered to remember how she had once put a lime green slip in the jade green drawer - she finally had time to sit down and study some of the memos Hilda had left her to type. For a second, the words blurred before her eyes, and Rosalie rubbed them, cursing her 18-hour working days. Still, she told herself, another twenty years and she would be able to apply for her dream job – Senior Personal Assistant to the authoress, Josephine M Bettany. Hilda had promised it to her, all those years ago.

The first memo told her she would now be speaking and writing in German two days a week, even to new parents who telephoned. Rosalie’s brow wrinkled, surely Hilda couldn’t be serious?

The second memo was almost identical, except Rosalie would now be speaking French two further days a week. Rosalie almost wept, but managed to pull herself together. A million Old Girls would kill to have her job, after all.
