| Summary |
The Marigolds belong to a school which has grown slack, and the new Head decrees that, school work coming first, the Marigolds must soon disband. Meantime, fired with sudden enthusiasm, they carry on, more or less unofficially. In doing their first âÂÂgood deedâ they come in contact with a very âÂÂunderstandingâ elderly friend, and later with her granddaughter Andrea. Very soon follows a foolish excursion which misses being a tragedy only through AndreaâÂÂs unexpected command of the gipsy language. Andrea, however, pays for her recklessness by a serious illness. The âÂÂstar turnâ of the Marigolds, however, comes when with much labour, and AndreaâÂÂs capable assistance, they secure the happiness of old Ellie. This convincing bit of work earns the verdict, âÂÂThe Marigolds have made good!â -- Dust jacket |
