Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by catherine on Oct 30th, 2003, 8:30pm Where's the next bit then, Chloe? We want to read it!! |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Oct 30th, 2003, 9:56pm Sorry my brother disconnected the computer then hijacket it for his own use. The next bit: On the first day at the Platz Clare and Frankie had both visited the chapels belonging to the school, “This is a good place Frankie, did you know about these chapels. They were to celebrate the school’s coming of age, a suggestion of one of the girls I believe. Entirely paid for by past and present students here, each thing has a meaning. The girls have a sense of importance, these chapels have a meaning to them, they know they can speak to God wherever they are, but here is important to them, it holds great meaning” Clare spoke with feeling as she starred at the Lady of the Snows chapel, “We had our own church back in England why’s the fact they paid for these themselves so important and make such a difference?” Frankie saw the beauty of them, apart form that they were just like another place to pray. “You probably don’t remember, the last holiday with mum. Up in the mountains there was a little chapel, no where near as fine as these, but a storm descended all around us we were trapped, a tree fell and dad ended up with a broke leg and mum gave us her waterproof to share as we’d ripped them climbing and caught cold. We took shelter there, you cried yourself to sleep. The Chaplin was kind man; he battled against the storm to find help for us. Thanks to him as soon as it passed a rescue party found us and brought us safely down. We gave donations and now it’s a prosperous chapel, but this reminds me of it all, Mum was so happy, when she a dad went away just before she died, they went back there. It meant the world to mum, seeing the difference she had helped to make, it made her stronger, more prepared for what was to come”. *grr too long means two posts* |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Oct 30th, 2003, 9:57pm Second bit: Frankie stood in the stop where Clare had retold her story. “I remember Clare” letting out a long breath, “I remember the chapel, Dad sat with his leg up resting his back against the wall. Mum spoke with the Chaplin, you sat by me, I remember you singing to calm me, running your fingers through me hair” as if it was then Frankie touched the side of her head almost able to feel Clare’s hand, “It wasn’t the storm that had scared me, but the uncertainty. I could see Papa’s pain, but do nothing to help, Mamma was talking and I couldn’t understand it all” taking a few steps Frankie entered the Lady of the Snows chapel. Taking a box of matches from her pocket she walked down the centre of the chapel, bowing her head as she stood before the alter, turned to light a candle and place it on the holder. Not taking her gaze from the flickering flame Frankie knelt down and bowed her head. As a family of early bird’s the whole of the Maynard household was awake early, seeing Francesca’s bed all neatly made, Cecil took no second to carry on as normal. “Mamma, when’s Frankie getting back with the mail, she’s been gone a long time?” as she slipped into her places at the breakfast table, “What, I thought she was having a lie in she was tired yesterday!” Joey couldn’t help but show the concern in her voice, Con entering the room caught the end of the comment, “What’s wrong” carrying her young son in her arms she sat down, “Hey behave Mr.” as he made a grab for Cecil’s hair, “I thought Frankie had gone to get the mail as she’s always up so early, but Mamma hasn’t seen her this morning” “Well she didn’t go out either the front or backdoor, I just unlocked the front one and Anna let Bruno out the back when I went in just now! She’s probably in another room that’s all” “Cecil, be a pet and go and check all the bedrooms, Phil help her, Con will you check the nursery and playroom, Felicity help me search down here” with which the group disperse. Having begun their search as Cecil and Phil made their way up the stairs they stopped and looked at each other, “What if she went to see her sister, Cecil, you know how concerned she’s been, Mamma could ring Papa up and see” “But how could she…” with which she turned on her heels and ran down the stairs calling “Mamma!” Emerging from the Saal, Joey caught her fourth daughter by the shoulders, “What is it darling, have you found something?” gasping for breath Cecil tried to speak, “Calm down and tell me!” “She gone to the San, to Clare, she’s been dreaming abut her the last few nights, she told me not to tell” “But she couldn’t have got out, after Con on our first night we’ve always been so careful” “Errmm…” Cecil didn’t want to get her brother into trouble “It was all Geoff Mamma” Phil knew her twin would understand why she was telling their mother, “before the left to go back to school we were all playing hide and seek and Geoff…errmm” being meet by Joey’s cool stare caused Phil to falter. “Damaged the window lock in Papa’s study as he was climbing in and out in order to get home quicker, he was going to fix it but he didn’t have time, and then forgot, he was going to tell you Mamma, but he wanted to do it face to face which would mean waiting until Christmas, honest he was, he said so when he wrote last week”, “Young Geoff must wait for the time being”, opening the study door, Joey saw a tiny crack where the window was still open slightly and papers blown onto the floor, picking up the paper and placing them ob the desk Joey noticed the missing letter which her husband had told her he would not give the girl until the morning depending on Clare condition, “Have any of you picked up a letter in a sealed envelope?” “No Mamma” the girls chorused “Felicity ring the San I want your father on the phone, tell them it’s an emergency” Joey headed out of the room giving various instructions, “Cecil can you think of anywhere Francesca would have gone except to the San, sit down and think hard, I must get Nell on the phone, she’ll be able to help, I know she and Gillian had to remain at St Mildred’s over half term, they can come and help”. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 2nd, 2003, 12:54pm *Ignoring sibling* Well it's sunday and as i promised more story but only a little as very tired after the party still... Leaning against the window Len let out a sigh. “How is she really, Reg? She’s just lying there, I don’t understand how Mamma can do this, be so strong. Clare was… is my friend and it hurts. I heard stories of all the people Mamma has sat by and helped and how this story is similar to that of so many. I just feel this is wrong, God can’t want it to end now, he couldn’t, could he?” Reg wrapped his arm around his wife as he spoke, “I don’t know, Clare’s seems stable, but isn’t changing for the better. Len you know better than most it’ll take time and we must wait…” “Excuse me Dr Entwhisle there’s a man here to see you I left him in your office” “Thank you Nurse, Len, go home and rest, you’re exhausted, I’ll call if anything changes”, Reg left her wondering who this visitor was. Entering his office the man rose from his seat, Reg knew he had never meet this man, but then again there was something in the man’s eyes that seemed familiar, “Dr Entwhisle, I came out as soon as possible, please how is Miss Buckley-Myers, I must know?” that he knew Clare was clear, “I’m sorry sir, but that information is for family only, all I can say is that she has survived the operation” “Dr Entwhisle, you wanted to see the case…” Ben stopped the scene he saw was not one he imagined. “Dr Basely-Walker will you give me a minute, I’m dealing with, this gentleman!” “It’s alright Dr Maynard, I know Ben I would like to have a friend close by. Forgive me I have not introduced myself properly. My name is Alex, Mr. Alexander Buckley-Myers” “But that would mean, Miss Buckley is a relation of yours, I knew you still had family, sisters in fact, but you never spoke of them and I thought they were in England and come to that you in America still” “So I was until the end of August, my father past away, making me the head of the household, Clare came out here for health reasons. I got a call from a Miss Annersley last week about Clare; I came out as soon as I could get away. It nice to see you it wasn’t the same once you left and I think I could need a friend.” “I can leave Dr Basely-Walker to inform you of your sisters condition then, he has been observing the case” with which he left the office and the two old friends. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Esmeralda on Nov 2nd, 2003, 4:37pm That was my guess too, Lesley, I've been wondering about him ever since Chloe told me I was wrong. *Thanks Chloe for clearing up that mystery and also asks for more. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 10th, 2003, 7:38pm Well aren't you a demanding lot as for xan calling me a rotter you don't get to hear about Frankie in this next bit now, it can weit till later... “I wonder how Cecil and Frankie enjoyed there half term, though I don’t see why they had to stay on the Platz, I can’t wait to show them the photo I got of Helen after the lake!” Blossom had missed her two friends during the half term and this early arrival back at school was just what she was looking forward, she had a gift of remembering events and re-telling them perfectly, capturing her audiences attention, “Why don’t you pipe down Blossom, the less said about your appearance, the better. Maybe you should spend less time telling stories and learn to write things so that it’s a fluent as your story telling” Sinead spoke up on behalf of her little groups leader, anger began to rise between both groups, it was left to Julie Morgan form lower IV to be the final straw, “It’s not their fault they’ve just wondered round like lost sheep without their one and only Cecil”, various people tried to jump to their feet in a minibus the prefect were amongst them in a second, Darice Simmons, Marjorie Graves and Ilonka von Werthein moved quickly to squash the middles and make their prefect ship felt by everyone in the bus, “All of you sit back down this instant, do you want to be treated like babies, if so you can sit on your hands until I say otherwise, and as for extra games, I will most certainly not give up my free time and nor will Marjorie unless you show you can behave like girls of your age” “And not like KG babies” this from Ilonka von Werthein, who was a known mischief maker as a middle, but now as Library pree was well respected by all the girls as they knew the line never to cross with her. Seeing that Blossom was still fuming at whatever had been said and knowing like all good prefects that with Cecil away, she lead her group spoke with the second games pree, “Mar, will you swap seats with Adsila for me she’s spoiling for trouble and I would like to be able to tell Ferry they behaved themselves on the trip back” “Up to you old thing, I wouldn’t be you for all the tea in China, she’s in a mood and it’ll be a while before her temper cools” “Adsila, would you swap seats with me I want to discuss some things with Ilonka?” she moved as she spoke as even in her present mood she would know better than to be rude to a prefect, “Did you enjoy the visit Adsila? I’d love to see the pictures you got developed” “There’re in my case I can let you have then later if you like” she couldn’t help the sulky tone that crept into her voice “I’d like that a lot, my camera broke, I was taking some photos for the magazine to go on our sports page and I dropped it as a ball got hit right at me” she caught the younger girl smiling, “Darice, did you mean what you said about the extra games as it’s not fair on the others if… if it was cancelled co… because a few of us were being stupid” “Blossom, I may call you that, mayn’t I? I’ve heard your crowd using it at full pitch, although I don’t see where they got it from?” having little to with prefect unless in trouble Blossom forgot her sulks and interrupted, “It’s my name, well it’s meaning anyway. Adsila means Blossom, my brother couldn’t say it when he was little so they used the meaning at in stuck” the ice had been broken as for the rest of the journey back to the school all the prefects knew they needn’t worry about the middles behavior. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by xanthe on Nov 10th, 2003, 8:28pm Well, you ARE a rotter... *somewhat impatiently hoping for a bit more story, even as she wonders about similarities between "Helen and the lake" and certain person who ended up with a bruised bum this summer* |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Esmeralda on Nov 12th, 2003, 11:47am Please Chloe, come back and tell us about Clare, (joins in with chant) |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 15th, 2003, 7:28am Only a bit for the moment, but you never know standing in Sainsbury's for most of the day may mean i egt more story done as i doubt we'll do much recruiting today... The day had truly begun when Frankie awoke, shielding her hand with her eyes as the light poured through the stain glass window onto her, “Oh what time can it be, I must have drifted off” sitting up for the first time he began to think about her actions, “I need to let someone who where I was, I just went off again, no note or anything, ‘m sure someone will have noticed I’m gone by now, and what if they tell Clare. I can’t let that happen, I’m such a thoughtless pig. Everyone’s been so nice looking after me and this is how I repay them, by playing a stupid stunt!” At Freudesheim Joey was becoming very anxious, Len had arrived to say that Clare and Frankie’s brother had arrived during the night and was going to come and see Frankie that afternoon, but not only that, she had, had no idea that Frankie was going to do this, her insight into girls characters seemed to be fading as she became older, “Mamma if you carry on pacing you’ll wear the rug out!” Con saw the look on her mothers face and tried to reassure her, though she knew it was futile “Look, all the girls are searching Auntie Nell and Gillian are as well, and the San’s on the look out for her arrival there. Frankie can’t have got far.” Gillian and Felicity had been searching over the chalet school grounds when a thought struck them, “Hasn’t some work been being done on the chapels these hols, is it possible that Frankie went there I’ve often gone there when I wanted somewhere quiet to think, you what a mad house ours can be!” Felicity turned to make her way towards the chapels. “Well someone been here the doors open slightly, and recently too no leaves have got inside” remarked Gillian, “I can still smell where a candle was being burned; they didn’t leave that long ago”, As a former Chalet girl and Guide Gillian began scanning the ground for recent tracks and sure enough in the mud was a set of fairly small shoe prints, “They seem to be heading back to Freudesheim!” Felicity pointed out as she stared over Gillian’s shoulder. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 17th, 2003, 9:21pm Well as Jennie needed the next bit i thoguht i'd better post: Pausing outside the door Alex stopped, he could see a nurse bent over the bed straightening the bedcovers, “Buck up old thing, she seemed… seems a fighter” hoping his friend hadn’t noticed his slip up he placed a friendly hand on his friend’s shoulder, “You need to stay strong, for Francesca, if… if the worst should happen”. Signaling he wanted to be left alone Alex pushed open the door, the nurse turned and smiled at him before leaving the room. “Well, I’d hoped for an invite after Christmas, but I guess you couldn’t wait to see me huh?” Alex stood stroking Clare’s hair, “Since when did my little sister grow-up so much, to think they let you loose on unsuspecting youngsters, what’s the world coming too?” time passed quickly as Alex just stood there watching the shallow movements of Clare’s chest move up and down. “Al, come on it’s time for Clare’s examination and you need to see Francesca. Mrs. Maynard is expecting you this afternoon and you need to scrub up to be fit for a lady’s company” “I… I don’t think I can face her. I mean what can I say. I thought Christmas would be difficult enough, but at least Clare would be there to explain everything before hand. The last time I saw Frankie she was a tiny kid, not that she’s much more than that now!” the somber tone in his friend’s voice startled Ben. He hadn’t realized how much being away from his sisters had troubled Alex. Leaning in the doorway as Alex began to freshen himself up Ben spoke again, “I never told you why I wanted to become a doctor did I?” distracted by his friend Alex’s hand slipped and he cut himself with his razor blade, swearing under his breath, taking the towel hand to him he told Ben to continue, “I lost someone very dear to me when I was fifteen. We were skating on the lake and the ice gave way from beneath her, I crawled to the edge of the hole in the ice and held her head above the water line. I wasn’t string enough to pull her out in all her wet clothes. By the time we were got to safety and out of her wet things she was seriously ill. We sent for the local doctor, but he was away visiting another patient. By the time the doctor arrived he said he was too, late to do anything but make her comfortable. Our Aunt did all she could, and I sat next to her bed everyday until she past away feeling so helpless as each hour pasted by. I cursed God for taking my little sister away; Elisabeth was so young, so full of spirit. From then I buckled down at school and worked as hard as I could. I was determined to become a doctor and never be that helpless again” “I had no idea, I’m so sorry Ben. I never stopped to think why you were so keen to become a doctor” it was strange for both men after all their years of friendship; they felt they had a new understanding within their friendship. Out of grief and chaos came a new compassion and hope for the future. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 18th, 2003, 2:24pm You're in luck as it happens my general studies lessons today were very productive (story wise anyway) ;) ... Standing looking out of the window into the garden, handing her son to Rosali and dashing from the room calling, “Mamma, Mamma, she’s back, Frankie’s back, she’s coming up the garden path!” As Francesca approached the French doors they swung open. Stopping where she stood Frankie lifted her head and meet two cool, ink black eyes staring down at her. Joey wanted to take the girl in her arms and hold her, but as the mother of a long family sh4e knew Frankie must learn from this, “Come in a take off those damp clothes, then come straight back down. I’ll be waiting in the study”, turning to her second daughter she continued, “Con, give Biddy a call to keep and eye out for Nell and the girls, and ask if it’s possible to keep them there for the moment?” Walking back downstairs Frankie watched the twins and William being got ready for their walk, catching Con’s eye she spoke, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to cause any trouble” the words tumbled out though she knew Con was not the only person who would need to hear those words. “You’re not the first or by any means likely to be the last heedless member in the chalet school, kiss the twins goodbye and then come along” Frankie did as she was told and followed Joey into the study. Frankie had a long interview with Joey from which she emerged her eyes rimmed red still, a sign she’d been crying. “Hilary, oh it’s you Nell. I’ve just finished speaking with Francesca; she’s feeling a bit sorry for herself at the moment I don’t doubt, but I said what needed to be said!” as Nell spoke on the other end of the line Joey let out a pearl of laughter, “Maybe I used a few quotes I heard myself at school, but yours and Hilda’s words of wisdom have stayed with my and had the intended effect!” As Joey replaced the phone receiver there was a knock at the front door. Anna came from the kitchen her hands covered in flour before seeking out her mistress, “Bitte mein Frau, Herr Buckley-Myers und Doktor Basley-Walker ist hier. I have shown them into the Saal” “Danke Anna, I’ll send Francesca to bring the trolley through”, like the perfect hostess all smiles and politeness Joey walked into the room, causing both men to rise to their feet. Stepping forward Ben made the introduction, “Mrs. Maynard may I introduce a good friend of mine Alex Buckley-Myers” “A pleasure to se you again Ben. Delighted to meet you Mr. Buckley Myers, I heard a get deal about you from Clare” shaking hands Alex lost the nervousness he had been feeling. Joey’s quick ears caught the sound of Francesca wheeling the trolley, as the door opened the room went silent and Francesca found herself facing two unknown gentlemen. Leaving the trolley at Joeys side, lifting her head high and looking calm and composed on the outside she stepped forward her hand outstretched, “Nice to see you again Dr Ben”, turning to face a person who she was to be relaxed with and know how to act she stopped unsure of how to greet her brother, “My sister, Francesca, my little, baby sister” Alex’s voice filled with emotion as he held her in his arms. His grip was strong, Frankie wanted to pull away as he was holding her too tight, but felt that the situation was strained enough as it was. Alex didn’t let go until Joey handed him a cup of tea. Taking her opportunity Frankie slipped away from her brother and curled up at the end of the sofa. Not even one of Anna’s famous cakes could tempt a word out of her. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 28th, 2003, 6:19pm Waterloo station was a very productive place yeaterday waiting to go to my concert, i hope you enjoy it: “Your brother’s nice” Cecil was try to get a word out of Frankie and this was the final topic she could come up with to get her friend to talk, “Well what did Mamma say to you, I’ve not heard a peep out of you all evening. We’re friends aren’t we, talk to me!” “Alex is very nice” as Frankie spoke she was perched on the end of her bed, her back towards her friend, “I’m sorry I went off like I did, I didn’t mean to spoil your last day of half term!” “He’s very nice, he’s very nice! IS that all you’ve got to say! Bother it being the last day of half term or not. You’ve seen him again after all this time and your opinion is he’s nice!” this sulky attitude Frankie seemed to have adopted was not making things any easier. “Look you’ve grown up in a close wonderful family! Why should I have expected you to understand! You get on with everyone from Len to Phil. It’s not the same for me I’ve not seen this, this man for years and only had a letter now and then and everyone seems to think I’ll hang off his every word, like…” the anger dies out of Francesca’s voice “like I listen to Clare”. Drawing the curtains, Frankie stirred in her bed, screwing up her eyes as wishing the conversation before she had gone to sleep had been a dream and not reality. Opening her eyes she found to pairs of eyes starring at her from the side of her bed. “CA, we browt you a dwink, with Mamma” as she finished speaking Esmeralda attempt to start climbing onto the bed, she was shortly followed by her twin, but were pulled up as they were more successful in pulling the bed covers off the bed, “I can’t take you two anywhere, I turn my back on you for a minute” as Con spoke she rolled her eyes and Frankie let out a small laugh, “Mamma will be happy, you’ve not lost your voice then, we began to wonder after last night” as she spoke the grin across her face made Frankie see Con as more of a young lady not long out of school, than a proud Mother of three. “Sorry for all the fuss yesterday, I wont do anything like it again.., well I’ll try not to” honesty force this last bit out of Frankie “Please don’t tell Alex” Con looked deep into the vivid eyes starring back at her, “It’s all right it’s up to you when you tell Alex, the rest of us are sworn to secrecy. Now finish you drink and let’s go down and see what everyone has planned for today” After having re-done her hair as Chloë and Esmeralda’s help had been more of a hinder than a help Frankie descended the stairs. As she did so Felicity was pulling the door to the Saal closed, “We’re all in the Dinning-room if you want to join us?” Before the door was fully shut Joey called from inside, “Frankie is that you? Could you come in here a minute?” Walking into the room Joey was sat with two other women both of whom she knew, “Miss Annersley, Mme Coursiver, I didn’t know you were here!” “Sit down dear, there’s something we need to say to you” “Is it Clare… or is it Alex.. I’m not allowed back… the stunt I pulled… con promised… I should tell” gasping for breath Miss Annersley cut in, “Sit down and take a few deep breaths, try not to be alarmed” turning to Joey she spoke “you should know better by now that to fly into things head first Josephine!” Frankie sat taking it in turn to look at each of the women; she had suppressed the desire to laugh at Joey being scolded like she was a middle rather then the mother of a middle, “But if it’s not that then why do you all want to see me?” It was hard to tell if her tone was of a confused or concerned girl. “It’s quiet simple, you see Miss Buckley. Your sister is not going to be fit for work for some time to come and we thought it was only right to tell you” Hilda looked at both Joey and Biddy who nodded in agreement “that with the children needing her less Biddy would come and take over your sisters position on a temporary basis” |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by xanthe on Nov 28th, 2003, 10:23pm *applauds* So it's Waterloo you're meeting at then? ;D Have fun, and remember, Anya cannot be held responsible for pushing people onto the ice, and if you explain it's all the fault of the invisible magical rabbit that tells you to write things... (well they think I'm mad, so why should I have to stay in the "seriously disturbed" box on my own??) |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 28th, 2003, 10:30pm Don't you know Xan i've lost Anya, not seen her since Waterloo, i think the idea of a Muse concert scared her a bit, but you never know she maybe lurking at Waterloo still, by the cute coffee guy! Yes that's the meeting point though it could be at any time from 9.24 to 10.30 as that's the time rage they've given people this week (the forms says 10, they told me tonight 9.45 and on tuesday told N 10.30) ::) |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Nov 29th, 2003, 8:33pm I have no clue, i forgot to mention i found Anya again on the way back... :) “Helen Williams, stop pushing this instant, we’ll all get off the coach in time” Bianca spoke with full head girl authority. “Prees seem to jump on you for the smallest of things here, like they used to be little angels when they were middles” Helen muttered to her neighbor causing Sinead to giggle, “I foresee trouble ahead before the end of term” Bianca whispered to Darice, “That’s jolly unfair Dene, just said that the others don’t get back until tomorrow, not even the Platz people” Belen was voicing her opinions a little too loudly “The least Cecil and Frankie could have done was to come and see us arrive, they’re only next door” “If you had bothered to finishing listen to Miss Dene Belen, you would have heard her say that as Fer… Miss Ferrars” Bianca hastily corrected herself “injured her ankle, due to certain people’s carelessness” several members of the group turned crimson form her crushing speech, “Anyway you’ll have fun tomorrow I promise” with which Bianca headed of to join her own particular crowd. Meanwhile over at Freudesheim as Felicity, Phil and Cecil walked into the Saal Frankie was standing at the window absentmindedly stroking Bruno’s soft coat. “Frankie, you’ll never believe it…” as Phil spoke Cecil spoke over the top of her, “No let’s make her guess” as Cecil spoke Frankie saw the enormous grin on her friends face, “If it’s so impossible, you can at least give me a clue” “Its school related” pausing for a moment Frankie thought hard, “About Mme Coursiver taking history?” they shook their heads, “It’s flooded so we can’t go back tomorrow” “No” they chorused “Errmm… Derry’s run off with someone so no more English? Len’s going to have a baby?” “Do you give up you’ll never get it!” “Ok clever-cogs what is it then as it’s so impossible to guess?” “Ferry dished her ankle so all of Upper and Lower IV have had to come back early, and bets of all we can spend tomorrow with them if we want as it’s the prefects in charge!” With which they turned and began to bombard Felicity with questions about the plans the prefects had. |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Dec 8th, 2003, 4:41pm having got over the earlier squibble. Here's what i wrote yesterday... “Mrs. Entwhisle as I am sure you know I have been away from my family for sometime and there a few matters I wondered you could fill me in on?” as he spoke Alex set down his tea-cup, “Well I know a few details, such as beyond the co-Heads, Miss Dene, Matey and I no one at the school knows about how ill Clare is or the relationship between her and Francesca” “I presume that your younger sister know the situation for all I can gather Francesca and your fourth sister Cecilia Marya are inseparable” Len grinned at the use of Cecil’s proper name. “I’m glad you and Francesca are able to talk…” Alex spoke over Len’s words, “On the contrary I have yet to speak with her; it is from other people I have heard such things” “I’m sorry to hear that” Len spoke felling annoyance rising within her, “Frankie is a sweet girl and I must say that may it have something to do with your manner that you and Francesca have not spoken” as soon as she had spoken Len knew she had been as tactless as her second triplet when they were younger, “I treat Francesca no different than I would any other child!” “Listen to me a moment if you would! That is the problem, you treat her as if you know her well” Alex moved to interrupt but Len was determined to have her say “Yet all you really know you have been told and although Clare has a gift for writing it is not the same as if you had been there to experience the events yourself and therefore have missed the spirit of the people and the moment which no writer can ever full retell. The bond between Clare and Francesca is as strong as that between many twins if not more so. But now Frankie finds herself in a situation where people expect certain things from her and the only thing you two have in common she is distanced from.” |

Title: Re: Sisters at the CS (cont.) Post by Chloe on Dec 8th, 2003, 4:41pm As he walked down the drive towards the school Alex mulled over Len’s words. He felt comfort as Ben walked by his side. They had met when Alex had gone in search of Francesca at the gates to Freudesheim. Having been told that the girls where all at the school Ben offered his company to Alex which was happily accepted as the school, was completely new ground to Alex. “Cheer up and remember don’t be surprised if the girls only address you as Mr. Myers when they find out who your related too!” as he spoke Ben pushed open the door and the men entered the school. Their entrance attracted more attention they either man wanted as at the same moment they walked inside they collided with a group of girls running passed. There were a series on bangs and crashes drawing students from all over. “What is all this commotion about, clear the way” as she spoke Bianca descended the staircase, “Ada and Zizi, help Emily and Elise up, let me take a look at you, the pair of you help them along to Matron they’ll need a change of clothes if not a bath too! Julie run along to the kitchen and ask Karen to sent a maid to clear up the spilt water and vase” turning she spoke to the two gentlemen “I’m sorry they know better to than to run in the corridors” as she spoke Meta Gordon and Jean Morrison where busy on one side of the entrance sending girls back to their activities whilst Katie Jones was dealing with two girls who stood starring and giggling at the sight of the two men and Bianca speaking as neither of them men could be called anything but handsome. “Sinead and Helen, can your group carry on minus two members, if so go back to where you were, if not you must split and join another group” Katie spoke giving the full support Bianca had come to expect from her second pree. Alex was taken aback at the girl standing in front of him, clearly a school girl, yet there was something in her manner making her seem much older and her Spanish beauty displayed even though she stood there in her uniform. “I’m looking for someone in charge, and may I enquire as with whom I am addressing” “My name is Bianca Roca, Head Girl of the Chalet School” Bianca was at her most proper, “I am afraid that most of our mistress are away at the moment, but if Miss Dene is not in the office I shall leave you in the study and send someone to find another mistress, Mr.…” “I am Mr. Myers and this is Dr Basely-Walker and that is very kind of you we didn’t mean to inconvenience you!” “No trouble at all. If you’d just follow me Mr. Myers, Dr Basely-Walker” with which she turned and headed towards the office. |
