Amelia leaves on family business. Ermengarde and Lottie plan to bring Sara food when she is again denied supper. Sara works with Becky, who tells her to go to bed. Although Ermengarde pays her a late-night visit, the Headmistress intercepts Becky and confiscates a meat pie (from Ermengarde's aunt) meant for Sara. When the three girls are having fun, Lavinia turns them in to the vindictive Headmistress.
