AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Phyllis meets her Uncle Dick at a cricket match. Noticing one of the players, Langdon Temperley, she tells her uncle how she persuaded Langdon to dress as his twin sister, Dulcie, after Dulcie sprained her wrist before a school cricket match. The trick was discovered and Mabel Campbell, the school principal, was furious before her sense of humour took over. Something Phyllis says about Mabel sends her Uncle Dick hurrying away to see the principal and Phyllis suspects she knows the reason why.
