Title: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Sioned on Jun 23rd, 2003, 7:16pm Miss Annersley had called the staff, Matey and the domestic staff into the staffroom for a meeting. "I'm getting very concerned." she started. "Some of the girls are getting very...well...plump. I think it's time for some modifications to be made to the menu. No more fatty food - from now on the girls eat plain food with lots of vegetables, and fruit for puddings." Some of the women raised their eyebrows at this, but Matey jumped up onto her feet. "Absolutely preposterous." she said. "Growing girls need good food. I think it's a ridiculous idea." "Nevertheless," replied Miss Annersley, I think you'll agree that the diet the girls follow is setting them up for bad health problems - and they are putting on weight, especially now it's winter and we don't have much chance for outdoor exercise." Matey would not agree. She and the head argued their cases very politely but neither would give in. Finally, after a good ten minutes Miss Annersley pulled rank. "As the head of this school I am insisting on the change. Please inform the cooks Karen," she added to that woman. Matey was furious; there was no way she was going to condone faddy eating. She was going to do something about this. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jun 24th, 2003, 1:30pm With a loud sniff, Matey exited the room with her head held high. She stormed down the corridor to her office, and picked up the phone, dialling the number for the San. Back in the staff room, Miss Annersley had departed for her own quarters, while the kitchen staff had scuttled off to start planning their new menus. Nancy Wilmot raised her eyebrows at her friend Kathy Ferrars. "Do you think Hilda's scared the girls will turn out like me?" she asked. The staff burst into shrieks of laughter at her comment, and the tense atmosphere that had descended after Matron's departure vanished. Meanwhile, Matey was grilling Jack Maynard about the new rule regarding food. To her fury, Jack was not supporting her. "It's a question of balance Gwynneth", he said. "I think Hilda's right, the girls need to cut down on the fatty foods, especially after passing some of the -er- larger specimens in the car the other day. On the other hand, the girls will need some fatty foods, but not every day." |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jun 24th, 2003, 2:12pm After leaving the staffroom, Nancy returned to her room. There she had more time to consider what had been said without the noise of her colleagues to distract her. She had jokingly made comments about Hilda possibly worrying about the girls turning out like her, now she wondered if possibly this was true. As she turned these thoughts over in her mind Nancy grew angrier. "How dare she!" thought Nancy as she thought of Miss Annersley. If any sides were to be taken Nancy was going to be sure to support Matron in this. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by edith on Jun 24th, 2003, 2:45pm That tea time the girls were supprised to see that their usual creamy cakes had been replaced by pieces of fruit and the milky coffee with instant coffee or lemonade. With a bit of minor grumbing the girls settled down to eat bread and margerine-butter being deemed to fatty. They were just finishing when Matron and Miss Wilmot came in with large trays of creamy cakes for the girls to eat. They were delighted, perhaps the fruit was just an option, well it wasn't popular! |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jun 24th, 2003, 3:39pm After that a war began to rage, The head and her prime supporter held out trays of fruit while Matron and Miss Wlmot held out plates of cream cake. The girls asumed that there were two options but most of them didn't worry about food. However, as the girls were queing the opposing sidesoffered snide remarks o each other which shocked and entertained the onlookers. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Aletea on Jun 24th, 2003, 10:28pm Things reache a head on a cold Thursday afternoon. Matron, unable to abide the site of the ripe kiwi fruits sitting on a platter, picked the creamiest cake from her own tray and threw it across the room, where it hit Miss Annersley square in the chest. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jun 25th, 2003, 12:36am The startled girls looked on wondering what would happen next. Would their head remain her usual stately self, dignified as they had always known her to be or would she retaliate. There was silence in the large hall as everyone waited in anticipation. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by crashbb on Jun 25th, 2003, 12:46am They soon had their answer. This would be the day that the voice that never needed to be raised, was finally raised. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jun 25th, 2003, 9:15am The normaly calm headmistress grew steadily more red and angry, she cried, 'Oh you scoundral, you mutinous b***h! How dare you undermine my authority! If i don't want my girls to be FAT, then its my perogative! And...you...you...' said the angry head, walking dramatically towards miss wilson! '...Are you trying to start a FAT brigade or something?' questioned miss Annersley who was groing more hysterical. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jun 25th, 2003, 10:23am Before Miss Annersley could completely lose her dignity, Madge Russell walked into the silent room. "Er, hello" she said. "I was visiting Joey and decided to come in for Kaffe und Kunchen and I couldn't find anyone in your room...". Her voice trailed off, then she make a dive for her retreating self-posession. "What's going on here?" Both Matey and Miss Annersley started answering at the top of their voices. "Enough" said Madge quietly. "I'll see you both in the staff room." (she thought it was a good idea to meet on neutral territory) And with that, she dismissed the school to their common rooms. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jun 25th, 2003, 10:31am The staff didn't try to stop the gossip that was going on in the common rooms, because they were gossiping also. However the really interesting discussion was taking place in the staff room. (Is it going to be a behind closed doors solution?) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Sioned on Jun 25th, 2003, 5:51pm Madge eyed the two women. "I'm not even going to ask for an explanation." she said quietly. But it seems to me that if the two most important people in this school cannot agree, something has to be done." Madge thought for a moment. She could hardly demote either of them, but starting food fights and yelling across the dining room was hardly fitting behaviour for Chalet School mistresses. Finally she spoke. "As you know I am fully aware that both of you do an excellent job of running this school. However I've been worrying for some time that I do not know enough of what's going on. This...this...affair, is just the icing on the cake. I have therefore decided to return as co-headmistress. Miss Annersley, of course you will remain as an acting Head, and Matron, you will retain your current powers, but all future decisions must go through me. That is all." |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Lesley on Jun 25th, 2003, 10:33pm Madge discussed the situation with Jem that evening, 'it's unbelievable!' she cried, 'the two most stable members of staff I've ever met, arguing like 3 year olds. What on earth can have come over them?' Jem thought deeply for a moment, 'You know Madge I may have the answer. I was at a conference last month and dropped in on one of the fringe debates. These women may be suffering from 'the change'. the last said in dramatic tones. Madge looked puzzled, 'what's the change' Jem blushed deeply and mumbled something, on hearing this Madge suddenly roared with laughter. 'Oh Jem you can't be serious! Why it's more likely they've been replaced by aliens! Jem cleared his throat, 'Well it's funny you should say that,' he began....... |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jun 26th, 2003, 8:37am "there was an article about a UFO in the paper the other day ... perhaps ..." at this Jem had to cover his mouth he was giggling so much. Madge swatted at her husband with a rolled up newspaper and returned to the subject. "Jem, seriously, am I doing the right thing?" |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jun 26th, 2003, 11:02pm The doctor regained his composure, and said, 'I don believe that, anything you do, to do with the school will be the right thing, for you are the spirit of he school.' |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jun 28th, 2003, 3:06pm Madge wasn't quite sure if she had heard Jem quickly. Was she saying she was doing the right thing or the wrong thing. The beginning of his sentence had been slurred due to Jem's tiredness from overwork. The last few nights had kept him busy at the san to all hours. The smile he now cast his wife was enough to reassure her that whatever she thought she had heard he supported and loved her. With this Madge began to make preparations to return as Head to the Chalet School. |
||

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Sioned on Jun 28th, 2003, 3:29pm Meanwhile...Miss Annersley was in her room, and she was feeling more than a little furious. Firstly she was furious with herself. What on earth possessed her to behave like that in front of the girls? How could she look them in the eye when dealing out punishments? But on the other hand she didn't believe her behaviour meant she deserved to be demoted. Matron was keeping her job, and although Madge had said she would remain as a co head it just wasn't the same. Madge would be very much in charge. It was very frustrating. She let a little tear fall down her cheek before angrily brushing it away. What could she do though? |
||

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jun 28th, 2003, 3:51pm With a deep sigh Hilda pondered her options. She quickly realised that she would need more ideas and imagination than she had the capacity for herself. Joey's name suddenly came to mind and Hilda was about to phone her when she remembered that though Jo was fair she was still Madge's sister. Who else could she turn to though |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Lesley on Jun 29th, 2003, 12:45pm 'I know' she thought, 'there is one person I can turn to who will not judge me but only support me.' She slipped out of the School and walked to Welsen. Nell Wilson was astonished to discover the stately Head of the school suddenly appearing at her door. She realised immeadiately that somethimg was seriously wrong - Hilda Annersley was almost in tears! 'Oh Nell what am I to do?' she cried after relating the whole sorry mess to her dearest friend. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jun 29th, 2003, 8:21pm Nell was having problems keeping a straight face despite her friends obvious distress, for the whole story seemed hilarious and she knew, in time, Hilda and matron would see it to. Nell however did see Hilda's dillema but considered there was very little eiher o them couolddo about it. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jun 30th, 2003, 12:09am "Perhaps" she suggested calmly "You should welcome Madges arrival and support her in this move. Then in time she will leave you to run the Chalet School again. You need to apologise to Matron also and sort this out." Hilda looked at Nell in surprise. This hadn't been what she had expected when she had come seeking help. Yet, the words of wisdom spoken cut through to her like nothing else had recently. Soon, she was agreeing that this is what she would do. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 1st, 2003, 8:34pm Miss Annersley rushed back to the school, determined to find Matron, but that woman seemed to have vanished.... Unbeknown to Miss Annersley, Matron had also decided to visit Nell Wilson at Welson. Matron had set out on the long route as Miss Annersley left Welsen to return to the school proper. Miss Wilson concealed a smile as Matron poured out the same story over a cup of tea and a plain biscuit. Miss Wilson offered Matron the same advice, and waved her off at the door. She knew there would be no major ructions in the school proper once Matron and Miss Annersley had solved their differences. She had found the whole situation ludicrous, although she dearly wished that she could have been present at the food fight. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 2nd, 2003, 6:51am Since she'd missed out on that amount of fun, Bill decided that after all her counselling of that day she would enjoy herself now. With that she phoned Jo Maynard and announced she would be there as soon as she'd finished marking some papers. When she arrived she expected a decent English tea! |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by edith on Jul 2nd, 2003, 11:33am But to her horror, Jo had also caught the fitness bug and tea was much healthier. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 2nd, 2003, 1:42pm Nell did her best to hide her disatisfaction at being presented with bitesize, butterless cucumber sandwhiches and plain scones. Joey saw her look and said, '... |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rachael P on Jul 2nd, 2003, 3:34pm "Middle age spread, Nell. There's no point denying it - we've all put on a pound or two since our hey-day in the Tyrol and it's time we confronted the truth. Jack tells me that the new "white man's disease" affects the heart. We may be on the verge of eradicating TB but heart attacks, blocked arteries and the like are the new scourge of the twentieth century. We're becoming progressively office-bound in our jobs and it's just not feasible to keep eating and snacking as though we're putting in hours of manual labour. All those coffees with "blankets of whipped cream"; Anna's delectable cakes, Kartoffeln coated in butter - they're ridden with fat. We've got to cut down, Nell. Everything in moderation!" And with a flourish, Joey offered the plate of plain scones to her friend. "No thanks, Joey" replied Nell, a slight edge to her usual warm tones. "I have my waistline to consider." Honestly, she thought to herself, how was anyone expected to eat such dry food without a couple of sthingyfuls of luscious blackcurrant jam? |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by crashbb on Jul 2nd, 2003, 5:41pm "Joey cannot be enjoying these dry, tasteless scones anymore than I am, soon enough she'll cave and bring in the good stuff", thought Bill to herself. What Bill didn't realise was that Joey had only half fallen in with her husband's wishes. As long as there was anyone around to see her, Joey eat these simple dishes. However, by herself, Joey was still enjoy the dripping, creamy cakes. In fact, she had only just finished eating 3 such cakes momments before Bill arrived. Joey, therefore, was happy to eat these plain scones now and had no intention of bringing out anyother eats. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Sioned on Jul 2nd, 2003, 10:45pm She chuckled inwardly as she studied Bill's expression, which was more than a little put out. However, she hadn't banked on Bill's keen eyes (has she got good eyesight?? she has in this drabble), which spied a little pile of crumbs on the floor. "Aha!" cried Bill swooping down and picking some up in between her fingers. "Foiled Jo!" "Ah well" said Jo airily, "I suppose someone would have found me out sooner or later!" "Get me a bun" ordered Bill sitting back in her chair, "and don't skimp on the whipped cream." |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 3rd, 2003, 1:09pm 'Alright alright, bu DONT tell by dear hubb for he is detirmined that we follow our diet!' With that she went to Anna who was delighted to provide them with coffee and cream and a platter of rich cream cakes! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rebecca on Jul 3rd, 2003, 4:50pm Just then the front door was heard to slam shut. "Nell, it's Jack! What are we to do with all these cream cakes?" asked Joey, panicking at the thought of her husband discovering her with the contraband. "Quick, put them under this cushion," replied Miss Wilson, suiting the word with action by placing the plate under the cushion beside Jo on the sofa. Seconds later Jack entered the room with Bruno bounding alongside him. At the sight of his 'Missus', the St. Bernard made a beeline for Joey, dislodging the crucial cushion in his enthusiasm. "Joey! What are those cakes doing there?" demanded Jack, incredulous at the sight. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:21am "I brought them," Nell announced, seeing the urgency in Joey's gaze. "Your ideas may be suitable for girls who are at a sensitive age, and are still growing, but I've lived on this diet for years, and I'm yet to see any ill-effects from it! I felt that a single cake couldn't harm Joey, and," this with an amused eye on the doctor, "I'm not sure that, if you could come down from your heights of pride, you wouldn't prefer one yourself!" But before Jack could respond, Nell fell back onto the sofa, clutching at her chest... |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rachael P on Jul 4th, 2003, 10:35am (lol, KB!) Jack rushed over to where Nell had collapsed, reaching for the stethoscope which he had neglected to remove on his way home from the San. "Breathe deeply, Nell" he said, attempting to calm the wheezing mistress, who was coughing and gasping for air. Joey watched the pair of them in alarm. Was one of her closest friend's suffering a heart attack due to excessive consumption of cream cakes? "Should I call an ambulance?" she demanded. "N...No!" spluttered Miss Wilson, fighting to clear her airway. "I'm perfectly f...fine - it's just a piece of c...cake gone down the wrong way. I'll be OK in a m..minute" Jack pounded her on the back trying to dislodge the errant crumbs but to no avail. Dragging Miss Wilson to her feet and pushing her in front of him, he performed the Heimlich manoeuvre, causing a large mouthful of cake to pop out of that lady's mouth, landing smartly on Bruno's snout. Nell slumped back on the sofa to recover, brushing more crumbs from her front. "Dammit" she cried, "There's a splat of cream on my new silk blouse!" |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:03pm "Let that be a lesson to you" Jack said sternly. For reply, Nell Wilson merely stuck her tongue out at him, causing Joey to lapse into helpless giggles. Jack frowned "Cream cakes should be consumed as a treat, not as part of an every day diet. That way you'll enjoy them more when you do have one" he said. "Oh rot" Joey said, pushing him down onto the sofa. "Here, wrap yourself around that" pushing a cream cake into his hand, while pouring Nell a cup of tea. Jack stared at the cake, as if wrestling with himself. Finally, he started to eat it. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:17pm (Sorry, can't help this!) In the meantime, Bruno, who had found cream cakes very much to his liking, came snuffling around for more. The cream on Nell's shirt was too much of a temptation and he began to enthusiastically lick it off. Jack was too much absorbed with his own cake to take any notice, so it was left to the two women to try to pull the large dog off. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 4th, 2003, 6:33pm *your wish is my command!* Joey and Nell struggled to remove Bruno from Nell's blouse. "Why did you have to wear a white top Nell?" Joey panted. "You should know it goes see through when wet!" "I didn't expect to get it wet, did I?" replied Nell the weather wise. "There's no rain predicted today, and in any case I have my coat. Get off me you silly dog!" she shrieked as Bruno tried to lick her face. At that moment the door bell pealed loudly, awaking Jack from his cream cake induced trance. Anna was heard in the hall exclaiming loudly, and then she flung the door open and said "It's Herr Docktor Jem!" Jack strode over to the door and wrung Jem's hand "Hallo old chap, why didn't you let us know you were coming over?" "Is Madge with you?" Joey interjected, heaving Bruno away from Nell at last. "No, Madge is over at the school. She was going to invite Nell over for tea, but was told that she was here, so I volunteered to pop over and fetch her." His eyes lingered on Nell's tousled appearance and damp shirt. "Though I don't think she'll be too pleased to see your appearance. What on earth happened Nell?" Nell Wilson was too mortified to reply, a steady flush crept up her cheeks, and she jumped up, preparing to flee for the bathroom, when Bruno bounded over again and knocked her flat on the floor. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 5th, 2003, 2:03pm It took the combined efforts of Jem and Jack to heave Bruno off Nell, while Joey helped Nell up, and led her from the room. "I'm so sorry" Joey said apologetically. "You know what Bruno's like, he just gets out of control". "Well you should teach him better manners shouldn't you?" Nell snapped, her face burning. She was instantly contrite as she saw Joey's shocked face. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just so embarrassed". Joey nodded as she ushered her into the bathroom. "I'll just fetch you some dry clothes, luckily there's not to much difference in our sizes." After she had passed the clothes through the door to Nell, Joey returned to the sitting room to find Jem and Jack choking on their laughter. Bruno had been banished to his kennel. "Oh you are awful" stormed Joey as she swatted both her husband and her brother-in-law with the nearest cushion. "Poor Nell having Bruno attacking her, and all you two can do is laugh!" Jem cleared his throat, but his lips were still twitching. "I don't think Nell quite planned on revealing her underwear to us though!" |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rebecca on Jul 8th, 2003, 12:33am Jem looked at Nell and Joey queerly as they bustled around the room before addressing Jack. "Did you say that you were going to cut down on cream cakes after reading that research I sent you? I certainly didn't expect you to eat more unhealthily like you seem to have done, judging by the evidence those two are trying to hide! Madge was really quite concerned and we're now on a diet of mainly raw vegetables to try and counteract years of damage. After all, none of us is getting any younger." Jack coloured but didn't want to pass the blame onto his wife and her friend, so made muttering noises about only eating cream cakes in the afternoon or for special treats. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 8th, 2003, 4:35pm 'Oh Jack, this isn't a special occaision, and why do you feel it nessacary to eat cream cakes every day? They really are very bad for you!' said Jem with true concern. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 8th, 2003, 11:28pm Jo glared at Jem and rushed to Jack's defense "It IS a special occasion Jem" she announced. "Nell and I have been enjoying our time together and if I choose to serve cakes or anything else for that matter, it is my household and my choice to make". |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 9th, 2003, 12:21am "Oh, heavens," Jem exclaimed. "Don't tell me you're pregnant again, Joey?!" |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 9th, 2003, 10:25am Joey gaped at Jem for a moment, before launching into a tirade of fury. "I am not pregnant again, for your information. All my life you've fussed over my health, denying me this and that, saying I must stay in bed, I must stay out of draughts, I must do this, can't do that. Well I've had enough Jem, it's my health, I can take responsibility for what I do, and if I want a cream cake, neither you or Jack will be able to stop me!" Jem was stunned into silence for a moment. "Why you ungrateful brat", he declared. "You really don't deserve to have people worried about you. I'm telling you Joey, this research is really important, and says that you will -" "I don't care WHAT it says Jem. I want you out of this house right now, and you can tell my sister that I won't be following her down the path of rabbit food." Joey flung open the salon door, and pointed Jem out. "And tell Madge I'm not entertaining tonight!" she yelled after him before slamming the door. Nell sat looking shell shocked. She had never heard Joey lose her temper with her family before. When she had changed in the bathroom earlier, she had been sorely tempted to climb out of the window and run back to Welson. She wished she had done now, judging by the looks on Joey and Jack's faces... |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 9th, 2003, 1:58pm 'Er..Jo, joey old girl, don't you think that was a bit steep?' ventured Jack. 'Oh shut up Jack do! I'm a mother, not a small child, i willdo as i please!' tiraded Jo, 'Eat!' she continue thrusting a particlarly creamy cake at her stunned husband |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rebecca on Jul 9th, 2003, 8:18pm Joey was verging on hysterics as she wildly waved the cream in Jack's face, sending great dollops of cream in an arc across the carpet. Jack calmly removed the cake and retreated to the kitchen to prepare a cup of coffee, carefully laced with a sedative. As he emerged from the room, Joey immediately grabbed the drink and downed it instantly. An uncomfortable thought crossed Jack's mind. Could Joey be suffering from a cream addiction? No wonder she had reacted so violently when deprived of it. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 10th, 2003, 3:47pm A cream addcition? lol! The very next morning when Joey had woken from her sedated sleep Jack went to her and spoke to her very seriously, 'Jo, my love, i'm going to move you to a special ward, at the san today.' 'Oh Jack, for Gods sake, why?' asked Joey in fury, ignoring Jacks flinch at the blasphemy. 'I fear my Jo, you have a cream addiction.' he replied |

"If you want to be useful, I feel like a lovely hot cup of coffee, topped with lashings of cream, to wake me up properly. Oh, and possibly a cream cake as well if Anna's made any." |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Aletea on Jul 10th, 2003, 5:27pm Followed by some lovely juicy, ripe strawberries. Maybe with a splash of cream to drown them with! |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 11th, 2003, 2:38pm At this point, Jack began to prepare a nice hot cup of coffee, slipping something in as he stirred, but ensuring that he topped it with cream so that she would drink it without suspicion. As soon as it took effect, he decided, he would phone the San for an ambulance. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 11th, 2003, 3:01pm When Joey awoke she was confronted by a group of stern looking doctors, including her own husband and brother-in-law. As she started to protest at her forced hospitalisation, Jack interupted her saying 'I'm sorry Jo but its for your own good, whilst you were asleep we ran some tests and well' he hesitated not sure how to break this to Joey 'your cholesterol is sky high for someone you age, if you don't combat this cream addition you are at a high risk of a heart attack, We are taking the necessary measures to make sure you never see cream again' |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Kathryn on Jul 11th, 2003, 3:14pm "Nooooooo...." |

|
Title: oRe: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 11th, 2003, 3:47pm ...Oh Jack, i'd rather DIE than live without cream,' wailed a hysterical JO |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 11th, 2003, 7:20pm "Josephine Mary Maynard!" Jack thundered. Joey stopped wailing at once. "What?" she asked. "Will you please take this seriously Joey? Not just for my sake, or the kids, but for once in your life will you pay attention to your own needs? You will probably die within a year unless we can cut the cream out of your diet." "A year?" Joey whispered. "A year" repeated Jem. "We're going to try you with different medicines to bring down your cholesterol and others to wean you off cream." Joey looked flabbergasted. "How will this effect the school?" she asked. "What do you mean?" asked Jack. "Well, are their meals going to change?" "Yes" siad Jem. "We're ensuring they will get similar food to you - minus the cream, so no sneaking off to the Chalet hoping to cadge a cream cake Josephine." Joey stuck out her tongue at him. |

|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 12th, 2003, 12:17pm Joey lay back on her bed, bracing herself for a new diet of boiled potatoes and cucumber, until she fell asleep... |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 12th, 2003, 1:18pm ...to dream of cream (hey, that rhymes!), until she could no longer bear it and made up her mind to escape. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 12th, 2003, 2:17pm Over the next few days of being stuffed with healthy food Joey hatched her daring plan, there was no way she was going to undergo such treatment. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 14th, 2003, 10:43am *you people realise that if Jo goes back on the cream we are going to have to kill her off, to make the school realise the dangers of cream!* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by claire on Jul 14th, 2003, 9:14pm (no we don't she could just be seriously ill and be eating cream cakes with another character - one we don't feel so strongly about - and they die - less taught - and still Joey, and like many exsmokers she'd be the most stringent of all about other people doing it) |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 15th, 2003, 10:11am *To return to whether we kill Joey off - I say no. It's possible for her to be so violently ill that she'll never touch cream again because the mere thought makes her remember her illness. Don't know what illness we could wish on her though....* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 15th, 2003, 10:26am *ok so Joey stays, but someone does have to die/stuffer a heart attack in this story for the message to carry. As for a illness we could invent one that's particulary nasty, or just give her acne, as no one ever has anything but a clear complexion. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rachael P on Jul 15th, 2003, 12:17pm (lol on the acne!! - what about needing heart surgery - a triple bypass or something? Why have acne when we can have a few tear-jerking scenes with Jo almost slipping away (again ;)) with her extended family gathered around her (oh dear - not enough room for that, methinks!!) but obviously she pulls through at the last minute with some new medical technology (when did they invent defibrillators?) thanks to Jack & Jem ..... |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 15th, 2003, 12:36pm Well, I did try to give Nell Wilson a heart-attack, but someone changed it to her choking. >:( Maybe Nancy Wilmot. There's plenty of comments about her size, and it would support Miss Annersley's theory so well... |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rachael P on Jul 15th, 2003, 1:32pm Oops - that was me!! I'd forgotten! But not Nancy Wilmot, please! - she's a healthy role model - she's meant to be quite tall and I'm sure I read in one of the later books that she was 10 stone 6lbs which I think is a perfectly reasonable weight! If she's plump, it's in a curvaceous way! What about Mademoiselle Lachenais, the doyenne of the staff room - she probably has lashings of cream with all her nectar-like coffee? And a bit of faux French would be fun!! Zut alors!!!!! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 15th, 2003, 1:43pm or as we like killing her off we could make it Mary-Lou... *ducks for cover* perhaps though an older person would be better as they would have had more time for the cream to do its worst, but I quite like Mlle and she gets lots of exercise as a member of the Alpine Club |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 15th, 2003, 1:46pm It's okay, Rachael, I forgive you. That's the fun of drabbles - you get to see where other people will take a story! |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 15th, 2003, 2:15pm *ok so we have OOAO dying very suddenly, Mlle has a heart attack, an operation but sadly doesn't make it, and Joey has Angina so an attack can bring on a dramatic bedside scene and the condition causes her to rethink her life (and possibly acne as a lasting scar!) Does this cover everything?* But how to escape and who to go to for shelter. Joey knew that her greatest ally was Matey, the only problem was that everyone else knew this and had forbidden Matey from the San. But how to contact Matey?.... |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rachael P on Jul 15th, 2003, 2:25pm Well, as I see it, there are a couple of options ... Matey seems to feature in the Drabbles as both "M" a secret agent and an acquaintance of Madame Pomfrey from Hogwarts so I guess she's either got a "Q"-style communicator hidden under her apron or she can summon a little wizardry to her assistance? Joey has probably been sworn to secrecy about both but Matey will have made sure that "her heart's darling" knows how to contact her, whatever the emergency Will that do you? ;D |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 15th, 2003, 5:14pm Joey of course! ;) Lol on the moral *says to self, I must remember the moral of the story and not head off at a dramatic tangent* |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by KB on Jul 15th, 2003, 11:25pm Well, I was already counselling Middles, so I'll volunteer. "You feel you have an addiction to the Chalet School? Good. You're a healthy, imaginative individual. The only thing that I would suggest is taking your books for a walk around the block now and then. And maybe cut down a little on the cream cakes. (How could I resist that, considering the topic?) But apart from that, be proud and enjoy!" (No, I'm not a Trekkie!) How was that? Will it do? |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Rachael P on Jul 16th, 2003, 9:20am Very good, KB! :D |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by claire on Jul 16th, 2003, 10:46am I'm sure Jo did semophore in guides so maybe she could signal out the window to matey |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 16th, 2003, 10:56am Matey with her inward sense of when something wasn't right, knew that her Jo needed her, but was unsure herself, how she would get to Jo. But there was one person she could use Dr Entwistle, she knew he was desperate to marry Len and so would do anything to keep on the right side of Joey, also she knew he was partial to the odd cream cake himself. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 16th, 2003, 1:04pm Maty found the young man she was looking for and teasingly spoke to him, 'Do you like fresh, rich cream cakes reg?' she asked reg who was blurry after being woken at two in the morning. 'Yes Matron, but, are you ok, its the middle of the night?' |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 16th, 2003, 1:39pm "Yes of course I'm alright" snapped Matron anxious not to waste time with such trivialities. "Cream cakes are delicious ..." murmered Reg still half asleep "but not half as nice as chocolate ... chocolate and Len ... Len and chocolate ... cream cakes and ...". With a crash the phonecall came to an abrupt halt as Reg dropped the phone and had fallen back to sleep. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 16th, 2003, 1:50pm LOL ;D That's brilliant, naughty Reg! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 16th, 2003, 3:58pm Realising what had just happened, Matron decided to go to reg and shake him awake herself, and she did! Soon after her monumental desicion she was standing over Reg, 'Young man, do you want to make Len Maynard, Len Entwistle?' 'Um, yes of course i do,' replied reg who was now fully awake from the shock. 'Right then, we must rescue Joey, that child needs her cream!' said Matron briskly pulling the confused doctor out of bed. 'But Matron, her arteries!' Reg excalimed 'Oh, you silly boy! She hasn't been standingon te ground without slippers you know, she's not going to die since when did a little cream hurt anyone,' replied the matron as if she wastalking to a silly child, after all she was very experienced, he knew that Joey might get ill from standing in a door way, or not wearing slippers, but she wouln't get ill from cream! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Catherine_B on Jul 16th, 2003, 11:43pm Just before Matey and Reg could pull off the cream-cake escapade, however, three slim figures entered the room in which Joey was confined, and barred the door behind them. "Jo!" said the tallest lady firmly. It was none other than Marie von und zu etc, who had been Games Prefect back in the days when Jo was such a beloved Head Girl. The intervening years had treated her more kindly, however, and she was well under half of Jo's weight. "It's time you listened to us. For years, everyone has been shilly-shallying around you, pretending that having 11 children hasn't made you fat. Don't you realise you're an obese lump?" "My Jo!" began Simone tearfully, but was pushed aside by the once peace-making Frieda. "Jo, we've felt so bad for you all these years. No one wanted to tell you that Jack was repelled by your fatness and driven to having affairs with dozens of the school's mistresses..." ("What?!" gasped Jo) "... oh come off it, why do you think all those spinsters stayed around for so long? But that's beside the point. It was because we felt sorry for you that we conspired with Mary-Lou and the other girls to let you win that swimming race at the Tiernsee, back when the school came of age. The wonder is you didn't realise." "And Joey" added Simone, stylish as ever in her chic french outfit, "surely you still care about your appearance, cherie?" |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 16th, 2003, 11:59pm (oh this is good (terrible but good!) i needed a laugh before work this morning!!!) |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Kathryn on Jul 17th, 2003, 4:41am So just how big is Joey at the moment. A behemoth that would take up two airline seats :o or a little more svelte than that |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 17th, 2003, 10:46am Reg looked on the scene in dismay. In his confusion at being woken up so early it had imagined Jo to be larger than she was when considering her arteries now he stopped appalled as he considered her three old school friends. Each one was now so thin that he was sure that merely touching them would cause them to fall over. In contrast, Jo was the picture of good health, something that hadn't been said of her too often over the years. Reg considered the problem carefully and wished heartily that he had been left to sleep. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 17th, 2003, 12:33pm (oh, poor Joey) 'Oh, don't listen to them!' declared Reg finally, 'You are not obese, mildly overweight, i grant you, you are a picture of good health.' |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Ally on Jul 17th, 2003, 12:48pm Despite Reg's good intentions Joey was feeling all the world was against her, she swung around at Reg and shouted 'A picture picture of good health, stop sucking up to me Reg I know you want to marry Len, so flirting with me won't help your case' 'Flirting' queried Reg looking bewildered 'I haven't flirted with you, I love Len' as secretly, he worried about whether it was Joey who was flirting with him! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 18th, 2003, 12:28am *gasp*!!!!! Reg decided it was time to take action rather than dwell on possibilities for now. In an instant he had cleared the room of visitors sending the now bewildered Simone, Marie and Frieda from the room. Now there remained only Reg and Matron, and taking control Matron returned once more to the subject of cream cakes. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 18th, 2003, 4:48pm 'Now then young man,' began the matron, 'About this cream business, i am, as you know, a firm beleiver in feeding young adies properly, and these new fangled diets are not the way to go about it!' tiraded the matron in a fashion that was most out of character, she drew her chest up and continued,'In your quest for love Reg, i expect you to back me up!' The 'young ma' was bewildered by these comments but said, 'Yes Matron, i am in love, you are close to to person with whome i long for, so i shall back you up!' Giving Reg a quizical look the Matron headed back to her beloved school, where Joey was to be under her care. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 19th, 2003, 2:00pm "Jo ... Jo wake up I want you". Jo roused from what had been a very deep sleep wondering who could be wanting her at this hour. Finally she decided it must be one of the triplets and knowing her three it would be Margot seeking her out at this hour. Instead when she opened her eyes it was to see Hilda Annersley leaning over her. "Jo, please, we need to talk. I never thought things would get this far out of hand or that it would affect you in this way. Forgive me please." |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Sarah_G-G on Jul 19th, 2003, 7:30pm "Hilda?" said Joey groggily. "What time is it?" "It's 8:00 and the bell for Fruhstuck will ring soon. I just had to come and make sure you were alright after...after everything..." For almost the first time since they had met, Joey realised her good friend, who could always be relied on to be so calm and self-posessed, was distressed to the point of tears because of the terrible happenings of the previous night. "This wasn't your fault! The doctors told us to go on this stupid diet; maybe they're not as wise as we've always thought, if they can let something like this happen!" Miss Annersley took a deep breath and replied with a queer, strained note in her usually beautiful voice, "But I decided to put their diet into effect! Because of this I surrendered my dignity and, more importantly, discipline in the school and nearly caused your death! No Joey!" as that young lady tried to interrupt her, "I must say this! We teach our girls to stand on their own feet, make their own decisions and argue rationally from cause to effect but I- I have set the worst example of all! I have become so accustomed to accepting every word the doctors say that I did not think for myself on this matter and was far to headstrong in implementing the plan. This morning I must apologise to the girls and then I must hand in my resignation- " She got no further for at this juncture Joey interrupted and began to tell her in no uncertain terms just what she thought of this plan. "What rot!" Joey exclaimed, sitting up in bed as far as she could go. "We all make mistakes and there is no long term damage done. Besides which my illness is by no means your fault- Jack forced this diet on me, not you! And I, not you, disobeyed him when I could! So how it can be your fault is more than I can say! I've never heard such poppycock in all my life!" Miss Annersley smiled faintly, "Your English, Joey! Where you pick up such expressions I can't think." |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 20th, 2003, 12:33pm 'Come on Hilda, lets go dwn to breaky!' said Jo, deliberatly using an English phrase Hilda hated. 'Oh, yu young scamp!' cried Hilda before linking arms with her younger friend and leaving the room. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 20th, 2003, 2:17pm As they walked out the door of the room, Hilda walked right into Matron! Before either of them could say a word Jo burst into a fit of giggles. The sound of Jo's laughter reached Matron like nothing else could. Though it would be hard to drag it from her Jo had always been one of Matron's darlings and to hear her happy after the events of recent days made Matron forget her own anger and feel sorry for her part in the cream cake affair. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Marianne on Jul 20th, 2003, 2:48pm And so, the short feud had run its course and the girls went back to the old days of whipped cream and buttery bread twists, it simply meant that, Miss Annersley forgoed more lessons in the name of the open air and excersise. She siged to herself that night as she fell asleep, proud tht she had once again healed the Chalet school. |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by ariella on Jul 20th, 2003, 3:24pm yay!!!!!! does that mean it's all over and settled now? *she asks hopefully* |

Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by crashbb on Jul 21st, 2003, 12:50am It does seem to have ended. But let us not forget that Rachel's briliant story started after it appeared that Con's thread had ended. So, if anyone wants to write us a story I think that we should let them go ahead. (Notice that I am not offering, since story writing is not my strong point). |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Kathryn on Jul 21st, 2003, 1:11am But if the focus shifts towards games and walks surely the educational standard of the school would drop and they'd have to rectify that? A possible continuation or are we all sitting on the edges of our seats waiting for Rachel to continue her story?? |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey vs Miss Annersley Post by Clare on Jul 21st, 2003, 11:32am I'm voting for the sitting on the edge of our seats ;D And if the educational standards do drop, at least the CS is sending out healthy young women into the world! |
