A Little Princess Sara Episode 39 released!

"What--sort of thing?" Miss Amelia ventured.

"It might almost be called defiance," answered Miss Minchin, feeling annoyed because she knew the thing she resented was nothing like defiance, and she did not know what other unpleasant term to use.

- A Little Princess, chapter 16

This episode is part of a series of episodes that deviates from the novel for a bit.  What is most important about this episode is this scene here, where Ermengarde confronts Lavinia about why she treats Sara the way she does.  The answer, while not surprising, is also rather symbolic of the series as a whole and finally rounds out Lavinia's character.  It also shows how Ermengarde has changed since the beginning of the series; doing what she did would have been unimaginable in the beginning.
