Odc. 1: Sara przybywa do Seminarium dla Panien Pań Miss Minchin

1

Solicitor Barrow discusses Sara's childhood with Headmistress Minchin. Sara is acclimating herself to London after a long voyage from India with her father, Captain Ralph Crewe. While the headmistress, her sister Amelia Minchin and Barrow discuss Sara's living arrangements at the seminary and decide if she is a suitable student, Sara's carriage ride is the backdrop for her book knowledge of London. When they arrive at the seminary, Sara, Peter and the headmistress argue about the latter's questions about Sara. The headmistress's anger with Peter disappears when Sara is enthralled with a pony and defends Peter for driving the carriage to the seminary. Although the conflict has a resolution, it sows the seeds for the headmistress's dislike of Sara. (Source: Wikipedia)
