Title: Boating
Fandom: Chalet School
Rating: G
Length: 358 words
Content notes: Set during "The Chalet School and Jo". Written for the "weather" challenge at fan_flashworks.
Author notes: I was re-reading "The Chalet School and Jo", and found myself puzzled by what seemed to be a minor EBD-ism in a conversation between Madge Russell and Miss Annersley, where Miss Annersley says she's going to work for half an hour before going boating with the others, has a five minute (if that) phone conversation with Madge, then rings off with the claim that the others will be waiting for her, and runs off to the lake! This fic is an attempt to explain that discrepancy.

Summary: Even Miss Annersley can be irresponsible at times.
