Winding Paths

A French lesson turns into a riot when Lorraine Vivian translates a fable into an English fabrication—and Hal Pritchard is only too happy to join in. At the Misses Walton’s school, even a little mischief can become a matter of principle.

At the seaside seminary in Eastgate, graceful, quick-witted Lorraine and untidy, irrepressible Hal seem made for different circles. Yet their friendship defies the school’s careful rules and the anxious hopes of its teachers, who fear that together the girls will stir up more gaiety—and more trouble—than the select institution can contain. Notes slipped beneath a loose brick, forbidden midnight feasts and Hal’s fearless scrapes are only the beginning. Can anyone keep these two loyal spirits apart?
