Chalet School - plot inconsistency bothering me

[VintageGardenia]

I don't know why I suddenly thought of this but perhaps my first 3 consecutive glasses of postnatal wine have brought out my inner dullness.

There is a Chalet School book (Exploits?) where some of the girls bake apple pies and mistakenly use cloves of garlic instead of cloves.

Not believable and silly.

Who was the one who lost all her hair, and then it grew back curly? I want to say Mary Ann, or Mary Jane...

I never knew that about Margot! She didn't really did she? I always though she would end up running a nightclub with Emerence and being a disgrace to her family.

Robin was too sweet to be true, but Maty Lou set my teeth on edge!

Mary=Lou

Mary Lou! Is that the one I'm thinking of?

That was my recollection of the last book, that the triplets had finished the school and were going to go to Uni in england.

Habbibu - Mary Lou?

Ah. x-posts. I remember the one with kathy Ferrers being pissed off with her, telling them to bend their knees when walking. She was a PITA.

lol at Matey, made her life easier having Joey drugged no doubt.

Wouldn't mind DP producing a little Kaffee und Kuchen.

I always think of "Lady Russell" whenever I hear Madonna referred to as "Madge".

New Chalet Club

I haven't read the last one then TotalChaos, what is it called?

Well the idea was she was going to study medicine with the intention of taking orders, having battled her "devil". In one of the follow on I read that did not quite work out.

And she tried settlement work and had to be sent to switzerland to recocer!

People are always falling off cliffs, or into hidden wells, of nearly drowing in rivers too.

Can you imagine the AIBU threads if mn sent their children to the chalet...?

Prefects of the Chalet school

Ooh - that would be a good one to start, constance! AIBU to think that schoolgirls should be kept away from thin ice if they have a delicate constitution?

Lol constance, every term at least one student had to be brought back from the brink of death - they would have been closed down long ago in RL!

Argh. All mine were sent to the charity shop years ago, and now I want to read them all...

I read a follow on where it did work out - it was quite a good one - the usual near death experience for Joey though. I did tire somewhat of that as a recurring theme. What I liked about the CS was the food - Kaffee and Kuchen always sounded so good

Thanks, I will order it now from Amazon.

What was the rival school called? St Salonika or something?

And when you look at the prices of CS books now, you really wish that they hadn't gone to the charity shop..

AIBU to think that school staff should not drug my daughter without my explicit consent?

St Scholastika's

St Scholastika

I know too much about this

Ah, of course - the educational saint... Thanks.
