Christine of the Fourth

by W.W. Eastways

On her return to Greycourts, Sheila finds out that Christine Barry, the new girl, has been causing trouble. Although the other girls dislike her, Sheila and her friend Priscilla make friends with Christine, and try to help her.
It is an open secret among the other girls that Christine's father is in prison, and that she was brought to school by Dolores Cameron, the young talented wife of a rich business man. Dolores is kind and sympathetic, but Christine resents her interference.
All turns out well in the end, and Christine of the Fourth is well worthy of its place with the other splendid stories in this series.
