About this book

A new term begins with noisy reunions at an English boarding school housed in an old convent. Deirdre Sullivan and Dulcie Wilcox expect to resume their close friendship, but a third girl has been assigned to their bedroom. Gerda Thorwaldson speaks fluent German and has lived in Germany, giving her roommates an excuse for suspicion. Their complaints draw a sharp rebuke from an older pupil, while Gerda's reserved manner continues to puzzle them.

Angela Brazil sets this school story among dormitory conversations, dancing, classroom interests and preparations for a play about ancient Rome. Gerda surprises the others with a composed performance and carefully devised stage makeup. A barred room and a torn letter add mystery to the school setting.
