Sara learns that Lavinia and the Headmistress have not learned a lesson when a distraught Becky tells her about a recent confrontation with the former, who continues to treat Sara as her maid. The Headmistress berates Molly and James for not breaking Sara's spirit, and they retaliate with back-to-back shopping trips (the second day in the rain, when her shoe is run over by a coach). Carrying her damaged shoe and helped by a soldier, Sara is told by Molly and James that she and Becky must eat the sprouted potatoes.
