The Top Secret Diary of Davina Dupree (9 page)

P.S. On the way to Mrs Fairchild’s office we noticed there was a crowd round the first year’s notice board, so of course we had to find out what was going on. There was a letter pinned in the centre of it from Mrs Fairchild and when I read it, my eyes nearly popped out of my head…

To the dear girls in Sapphires, Emeralds and Rubies,

Your drama teacher, Mrs De Nero and I have been discussing the theatrical production you’ll all take part in next term. We’ve hired the famous Hollywood director, Alfie Calpone, to work with you, as well as renowned singing and dancing coach, Stephania Sellwig, who you may recognise from television talent shows. Although these two have fought like cat and dog in public in the past, Stephania’s agent assures me they will now be polite to each other, especially in front of you girls.

The show will run for three nights in the Great Hall and auditions will take place at the start of next term. If any parents would like to come and stay at the school after the holidays to help with costume making, please could they contact me.

 

Always yours truly,

Mrs Fairchild
