Ethel's sister, Grapella, is concerned about little Prigentia, her twelve year old princess who is emotionally immature but behaviourally precocious. The main problem however is her high rising terminals. When Ethel tells her of Sister Veracitude's Cruxicogentian Elocution and Grammar centre, she leaps at the chance to address Prigentia's estuary tendencies. Despite Grapella’s fervent atheism, she is prepared to put aside her principles provided Sister Veracitude can cure the filial delinquency. She visits Sister Veracitude’s new establishment and together they kneel and pray (the essential prerequisite of linguistic success, according to the erstwhile Mother Superior). When Grapella brings the cantankerous teenager to the centre, Prigentia is wearing disturbingly inappropriate minimalistic attire, and Sister Veracitude’s mouth drops open. OMG she thinks.
