Boarding school fire alarms that go off when a, you are on sleep-in duty, b, have a fouryear old pre-prepper boarding for a few days because of a family emergency, c, have not had the forthought to wear PJs / sleep in clothes.
She may have looked like and elf child but even delicate fouryear olds are heavy when sleepy and you have to carry them a couple of hundred yards to the gymnasium, where you then have to try and maintain your modesty in nightshirt and knee-length bathrobe in front of a hundred adolescent boys *shudders at the memory*
