Attacked by rogue Brownies
A few translations may be necessary:Brownies: the British equivalent of girl scouts
The gods: "a theatrical term referring to the highest areas of a theatre such as the upper balconies"
Also, I'm puzzled by Gladys Long's comment that, "The trouble is when children are in uniform they are more noticeable than others who are not."
Wasn't the problem that the girls were violent, not that they were "more noticeable"?
