Becky and Peter assist Sara in dealing with the Headmistress and Lavinia, yet she remains burdened by the need to prepare for the upcoming festivities. Feeling hungry, Sara is forced to undertake a significant shopping trip alone, as Peter is unavailable to accompany her. During this difficult task, she encounters Donald, a kind-hearted boy who offers her sixpence so she can purchase food. This act of generosity provides temporary relief from her hunger, allowing her to continue her preparations despite the ongoing pressures from the school authorities and her peers.
