She is excused from punishment by Miss Grayling, who recognises that Jo Jones influenced the younger girl. She saw a big, square looking building of soft grey stone standing high up on a hill. The hill was really a cliff, that fell steeply down to the sea. At each end of the gracious building stood rounded towers. Darrell could glimpse other towers as well, making four in all. North Tower, South, East and West. Every form is supposed to be taking a field trip to study insects with their form leader. The third form is being taken by Miss Grayling, meaning no one will be at Malory Towers.

Matron recommends she wait in the san while Mr. Parker goes with his form, but Matron needs to go to town to get the medicine for Clarissa's newly diagnosed Graves' disease. As Mrs. Parker awaits in the sand, Gwen volunteers to stay behind to keep an eye on her and Clarissa. When Mrs. Parker goes into labor though Clarissa is forced to ride for Mr. Parker and then Matron. Darrell is put on a course that will reveal to her the secret Felicity and June have been keeping.
