Margot Maynard, who is two forms below her sister Len, is warned by Miss Annersley that if she doesn't pull up, she would be left behind at the English branch at Glendower House. Lower IVA will be the lowest form in the school when it goes to Switzerland, and Margot will have to win her promotion to that form before she is allowed to go with her sisters.
This horrifies not only Margot, but the other two triplets as well. To rub it in, Joey Maynard backs up Miss Annersley as Margot finds out when she appeals to her mother.
The Junior Middles are taken on a trip to Vendell. Priscilla Dawbarn falls into the marsh, due to her own heedlessness. She escapes, mercifully unhurt. Clothing then becomes a problem as she does not have a spare change of clothes with her.
Nothing loath, the Dawbarn twins, Primrose Trevoase and several others plan a 'midnight' in the old orchard, where some pigs were kept, after everyone had gone to bed. Everything goes well until someone trips over a pigling whereby the whole party turns into a fiasco and the whole school is roused. Their punishment as well as all the excitement, makes them do badly in their exams the next day.
