Ariadne's Camera

A camera was given to Ariadne as a present by her Father during the Easter Holidays, just before the summer term. It is described as small black and silver, with knobs and levers that whirred. We are told that she posts the photos to her father while she is at school, and that he hangs them around their home (Flitworth Manor). The first photo we see her take is of Scarlet and Ivy, as they do arabesques on the diving boards of the outdoor pool. Just before the girls go on the trip, Miss Knight asks Ariadne to take photos while they are at Lake Seren, seeing it as a good publication opportunity, and a way to change Rookwood's image, after damage that the former Headmaster and Headmistress caused.

The camera only makes an appearance in 'Lights Under the Lake'. When Ariadne returns to school after the summer holidays, (in 'Curse in the Candlelight'), she leaves her camera at home. It plays a big part in helping the trio to figure out that they are being followed.
