And when her father visits the school, is the spark between him and Madame Dubonnet actually an old flame?Meanwhile,
on the beach nearby, English tourist Lord Brocklehurst
temporarily escapes his domineering wife to chase the girls, while
lamenting his son’s disappearance. Just as love is blossoming between Polly
and Tony, Lord and Lady B. seem to recognise him and Tony runs away, leaving
poor Polly devastated.
Now
everything depends on the carnival ball – will everyone get their heart’s
desire?
