The library slowly faded from view along with UAW Cat’s enigmatic smile and we found ourselves outside in the snow. “No, Emmy! We mustn’t! Emmy—don’t!” shouted a girl’s voice. A number of schoolgirls in winter sports gear were engaged in skiing and tobogganing. I turned to Miss Havisham with a raised eyebrow, “Sorry, where did you say we were going?” “Your next assignment” she said with a certain grim satisfaction. At this point all hell broke loose as the companion of the girl who had shouted, replied in kind “Funker! Baby!” and set off on what was clearly going to be a collision course with a number of smaller girls lower down the slope. It was only when I heard a teacher shout out in French that I realised where we were “Not the Chalet school” I groaned. “I thought you wouldn’t touch children’s literature after Larry the Lamb?” “As a general rule, yes” Miss Havisham conceded, “But the series is remarkably free from men, aside from doctors, so I make an exception”. “So what’s my assignment?” “A simple grammasite infestation. At least I hope so – could be the spelling vyrus, so keep your eyes peeled, my girl. There should be a snag in the snow down there but somehow it’s mutated into some swag. Just nip on down and exchange the two, will you Miss Next?” Slipping and sliding as best I could I swapped the large black and white striped bag with a nondescript object which could have been a log or even a rock. “So that’s what Wemmick put in the bag” I realised. Mission accomplished I returned to Miss Havisham not a moment too soon as the toboggan struck the snag and the force of the blow flung its rider off and clear across the narrow margin of the run, straight into a third girl. She took the full weight of the flying body in the chest and was flung in her turn, this time, against the trunk of a long pine tree. Choas ensued and Miss Havisham pronounced “Most satisfactory”. We then faded out of the book leaving the third girl still, grey and to all appearance, dead. |

Genius. Thursday was lucky not to get hit by the sledge herself. |

That was great - love the fact that Miss Havisham doesn't mind the Chalet School due to the lack of men! |
