The Story

Tony & Penny are unhappy as it's almost time to be back at the old school. Suddenly Ivor appears and says "Milly won't." Milly explains that her pater is paying huge amounts for her to go to a VERY exclusive girls school next term. She shows them a picture of the dormitory, and Penny asks how many share that?

Milly is disgusted to think that she'll be sharing and explains that Pater has paid extra to have room for all of her wardrobe. She has a complete set of cloths for every day of term, and w see servants bringing out cases lablled with days of the month.

Milly also brags that Pater is paying extra so that some of her servants can come with her too, and we see three servants getting onto a van. Milly also explains that Pater is paying for a special food supply too, as a van of Poshe Noshe drives past.

Later Tony falls into a giant hole in the road. Milly explains she's having a dirct phone line installed from the school to Ivor so they can keep in touch. Ivor and Milly then exchange very large portraits of each other as something to remember each other by.

Milly then tells Penny she won't pretend to miss her because she won't! Penny replies she's quite right. Penny passed an exam for a free place and is going to the boarding school too! Shocked Milly decides it is time to go and demands Pater brings her new car to take her to school at once.

Pater explains he can't. He's stoney broke after paying for everything Milly wanted. Penny's Dad comes along and offers Milly a lift and Pater agrees. Milly and Penny head off to school together in Penny's Dad's old banger (much to Milly's embarrassment). The strip ends with Tony telling Ivor that it's just back to the two of them for a while!
