`` Grovebury expects every girl to do her duty on Saturday . It will be bad luck for the season if we lose our first match . '' The Clinton Old Girls ' Association had its field at Denscourt , a town ten miles away from Grovebury . It was arranged by the team , and for any girls from the college who cared to come as spectators , to meet at the railway station at 10:15 , and travel together under the escort of Miss Giles . Ingred , who was a keen player , and very proud of having been placed in the reserve , was to spend Friday night at the hostel , instead of returning as usual to Wynch-on-the-Wold . Nora , Verity , and Fil were also to be numbered among the spectators . On the eventful morning , as the girls were just finishing breakfast , a telegram arrived for Rachel Grant .
