Chapter TwentySunday afternoon the next group of students arrive.
From left to right: Gertie Greenberg, Edna Edwards, Fanny ffinch, and Harriet Herkimer. And not a Mean-spirited or Inappropriate trait among them, thank goodness. But three of the four are Kleptomaniacs. The minute they walk through the door, all three of them declare their intention of becoming career criminals and I'm beginning to wonder if this is a finishing school or a training academy for the underworld. But we have a Natural Cook, so at least the students should have edible meals. One of the students is a Vegetarian, and I hope I remember not to serve anything she can't eat.
I decided to change their clothes and hair right away, mainly because I want to try out all the hairdos and clothes I've been buying at the Sims3 Store. Besides, this is a finishing school so I think it makes sense to expect the girls to make some effort with their appearance. Here are their new looks. First, Edna:
Fanny:
Gertie:
And Harriet:
Look who I caught sneaking around the side of the house. Iqbal Alvi, cane and all, come to check out the new girls.
Iqbal never did come to the front door or try to talk to anyone. He went directly to the trampoline and bounced for a couple of hours, then left. It's probably just coincidence that his bounces took him right past the students' second-storey windows.
Sunday evening it was cool so they all changed into their new knitwear by Ausette for a cozy evening of television. I just love those knit patterns and have been having a lot of fun trying out different colours.
