Opplysninger | IVO Amy synthetic voice. - It is the start of the summer holidays at Beckfoot. Captain Flint has taken Mrs Blackett on a sea voyage to help her convalesce from a severe attack of flu. In her absence, Mrs Blackett has invited Dick and Dorothea to come and stay with her daughters, overseen by the Beckfoot Cook. Plans have been laid for a quiet and civilised house party. Those plans are smashed when Nancy and Peggy's Great Aunt Maria writes to say that she has heard they are alone at Beckfoot. Angry with Mrs Blackett for her apparent neglect, the Great Aunt has announced she will arrive that day to take charge of the house - and Nancy and Peggy - until Mrs Blackett's return. The Amazons, the D's and Cook all realise that things will be far worse for Mrs Blackett if the Great Aunt discovers there are visitors staying at the house. They decide that the D's must become Picts, hiding in a hut in the woods above Beckfoot, whilst the Amazons become Martyrs, appeasing the Great Aunt in order to deflect her anger from their mother.. - INNKJØPT FRA RNIB
