It was nice to have…

… a particular friend.

* A Letter, Marked “Private” – PG; March ‘04

Schoolgirls really can get the most incredible ideas into their heads.

* After the Night Before – PG; June ’04 (Darrell/Bill)

‘I meant what I said last night, you know,’ Bill said, hesitatingly. (Set after Thunder’s attack of colic in Third Year at Malory Towers)

* At Day’s End – PG; June ’04 (Sally/Darrell)

Although gossip had a tendency to travel swiftly between the towers and along the corridors of the school, the lower forms didn’t entirely understand the history between Sally, Darrell, and Alicia, or why Wilhelmina’s arrival had made it all that much worse. (Sequel to “After the Night Before”.)

* Longings – PG; December ’03 (Sally/Darrell)

They were still together, sharing the same lodgings, attending many of the same classes, studying the same subjects in the evening, and joining the same clubs and societies.
