How's this? Ruth and Connie Batten were now in the fifth form together?

Very close but one letter (which changes the whole meaning) is wrong.

"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

It must be not rather than now.

If this is the case, the next ditloid must be set by a Daisy. I wouldn't have had a clue about the correct answer is she hadn't worked it out so cleverly.

Indeed it is they were NOT in the fifth form together. Connie (the bolder, bossier twin) is kept down, allowing Ruth to go up alone and develop her own personality and confidence.

I think you should set the next one, as you were so close to the correct answer, Daisy. I only got one word right and I wouldn't have got anywhere near it without you. So go for it, Daisy! :D
