At the principal's office, Sister Gray chastises Candy for her tardiness. While Klint's playing-for-dead collar worked in the London centre, the ruse comes to nothing when the assisting Sister Margaret wants Candy to surrender her collar. Klint runs off into the woods and finds himself a giant tree, similar to Father Tree. At her room, Candy meets her helpful neighbour, Patricia O'Brien, who seems to know all encyclopedias by heart and takes Candy on a school tour such as the library and the recreational hall. But after her old enemy Eliza loudly introduces Candy as the "Barn Princess", her former maidservant who was abandoned by her parents, and Anthony's murderess, even Patricia avoids Candy. Patricia even misinforms Candy about the required attire for the next morning on purpose. Not escaping Sister Gray's notice, Candy suffers through morning prayer in her distinct white dress while everyone else wears black. Meanwhile Terry makes himself the talk of the school when he disturbs the morning prayer by his late arrival and insults. When classes start, Candy is misdirected by a "kind" note and she loses her way on the large grounds. But then Klint appears and shows her his new home.
