Throughout the term, Diana continues to play up, infecting the younger juniors with her disrespect of the prefect system, although, for once, the Dawburn Twins, Primrose Trevoase and other easily-led juniors are out of it.
Bride, unsure of how to deal with her, writes to Jo Maynard for advice. On that advice a prefects meeting is called and Diana is dealt with. However the consequences of this turn out to be disastrous.
It is discovered that Bride's study has been ransacked. The guilty party turns out to be Diana with the help of Marion Tovey. Diana is made to apologise to Bride but told that she is to be allowed to remain at the school for the rest of the year.
Julie Lucy gives everyone a scare by collapsing one night and is taken to hospital gravely ill with peritonitis, but she recovers slowly at home and hopes to be back for the summer term.
Once the Diana affair is over, plans are made for the sale. This year it is to be based on A.L.O.E.'s Crown of Success, an old book one of the prefects remembers reading in San once, and is therefore a Sale of Learning. Tom Gay outdid her usual effort and made a village that was won by Sir James Talbot.
