The story centers on two sisters, Mavis and Merle Ramsay, as they transition from their home in the industrial town of Whinburn to a more idyllic setting in Durracombe, Devonshire, where they hope to improve Mavis's health and enjoy their time at a new school. At the start of the novel, Mavis is confined to her bed due to a winter illness, while her sister Merle brings home tales of their school experiences filled with mischief and the harsh realities of their current environment. Mavis yearns for the warmer climate of Devon, where she hopes to recover and flourish. Their mother, in an optimistic effort, has arranged for them to attend school in Durracombe, filled with excitement and hope for a "fortunate term." The initial chapters present the sisters' personalities—Mavis as the more delicate and thoughtful one, and Merle as the lively and impulsive character—and introduce their challenges as they adapt to new friends, potential rivalries, and the school dynamic.
