Nina's closest relatives are her cousins, the Rutherfords, and when news comes from home that Sir Guy and Lady Rutherford's eldest daughter, Alix, is seriously ill, Mary-Lou helps Nina to suggest that Alix should receover at the Gornetz Platz Sanatorium.
Then a chance meeting on a trip to Lac Leman with a very Old Girl from the Tirol reveals that Nina is not as alone in the world as she thought she was.
Joey Maynard gives birth to her ninth child, Cecilia Marya Maynard, in April, and Nina produces an original and beautfiul 'welcome' to mark the event. Term ends with the traditional Sale, this time with an Old English theme, and the arrival, after an arduous journey, of the Rutherfords to the Platz.
