I called to see your father, or, failing your father, your mother. They're both out, and I've been waiting half an hour for either of them to come in. I can't stay any longer. Will you give them a message from me? Say I've been over at Pendlemere Abbey, and that I've made a most interesting discovery there. If they care to communicate with me, I'll tell them about it.
The Principal was determined that Diana and Wendy, having deliberately broken a rule, should suffer the just consequences, and she did not intend to remit one jot or tittle of the punishment she had inflicted. "Bounds" at Pendlemere were sufficiently extensive to allow ample exercise, and any farther excursions must be deferred till the end of the appointed fortnight.
Gifford can hardly have reached Marseilles yet." "It's going to be a queer term," grunted Wendy. The five girls were sitting in a retired corner of the garden at Pendlemere Abbey.
"I should think Pendlemere must be over there," said Wendy, pointing to the right, but looking frankly puzzled. "Well, you know the place better than I do," answered Diana, following her lead. So they went to the right, through a small thicket of hazel-bushes, over some rocks, and on up the bleak fell-side.
Fleming refused to return to the platform, and sent on the next performer instead. The "Ballade in A flat", in the second part of the programme, was an almost greater success, and produced shouts of "Brava!" from the back of the hall. Pendlemere people could appreciate good music, and showed their approval with north-country heartiness.

Hilary and Nesta and I walked it once with Miss Todd." "Dinky, I should guess." "Nice in summer, but it might be pretty wet now." Most of the girls agreed that coming down steps was rather worse than going up.
We should have had to take him to Pendlemere with us, and have sent somebody from the village to take him home. There would have been no other way. Remember, though, that I'm responsible for you to your parents, and I really can't allow these harum-scarum tricks. Suppose there had been an accident!" "Dad knows me, and he wouldn't have blamed you," said Diana cheerily.
Jinaradasa's qualifications might be such as only just to satisfy the board of the Royal College of Surgeons, it was better to send him to look after the patients than to leave them utterly unattended. Therefore, when the neat little two-seater car drew up at Pendlemere Abbey it was not the bluff, rosy-cheeked Dr.
As I told you before, I expected spade-guineas. It's one of the disappointments of my life!" declared Diana, getting into bed. Joy-riding The post at Pendlemere Abbey was distributed after breakfast, and the girls devoured their correspondence in the short interval before lessons began.
It ended in Diana passing Christmas with the Flemings at Pendlemere Vicarage. So far she had scarcely realized Meg and Elsie Fleming. They came to school daily, and she had seen them among the juniors, and remarked that they were "sweet kids". She was now to meet them at nearer acquaintance, and not only Meg and Elsie, but Monty, Neale, and Roger as well.
