Lucy Semple has just one wish: that everything might always go on exactly the same, without upsets of any sort. Yet even before she returns to St Ruth's School, she knows it is going to be an awful term, for a heretofore unknown cousin arrives from some remote island. Not only is Sabina clueless of the ways of proper English girls, she speaks with a strange accent, her hair is cut like a boy's, and she has the most embarrassing habit of saying...
