قسمت 3: سارا تحصیل خود را آغاز می‌کند در حالی که لاوینیا پس از معرفی شگفت‌انگیز، علیه او توطئه می‌کند

3

Sara watches Ralph depart for India, and cries herself to sleep on her first night. She awakens to a beautiful winter scene outside her window and her maid, Mariette, helps her prepare for her first day of class. Lavinia Herbert is upset at the prospect of getting into trouble with the Headmistress because of her three roommates (including Jessie and Gertrude). While Sara has breakfast in her room, a typical breakfast scene unfolds in the dining room downstairs. Lavinia is annoyed with Lottie Lei and Ermengarde St. John, especially when Ermengarde makes a clumsy mistake for which the Headmistress scolds her. The Seminary house cat Cesar greets Sara in the Headmistress's office, where the Seminary's rules are explained and she receives a French textbook. Lavinia shows Sara to her seat, and the other girls are astonished at her size. The Headmistress introduces her and describes her voyage. Lavinia introduces the other students and describes the Headmistress's past behavior; this shocks the Headmistress, and begins her vendetta against Sara. (Source: Wikipedia)
