When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said

she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen.

She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour

Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India

and had always been ill in one way or another.

Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy

and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to

parties and amuse herself with gay people.

She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over

to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the

Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible.

So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way,

and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way

She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and

the other native servants, and as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way

in everything, because the Mem Sahib would

be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old

she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived.

The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so

much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to

try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one.

So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have

One frightfully hot morning, when she was about nine years old, she awakened feeling

very cross, and she became crosser still when she saw that the servant who stood by

"Why did you come?" she said to the strange woman.

"I will not let you stay. Send my Ayah to me."

The woman looked frightened, but she only stammered that the Ayah could not come and

when Mary threw herself into a passion and beat and kicked her, she looked only more

possible for the Ayah to come to Missie Sahib.

There was something mysterious in the air that morning.

Nothing was done in its regular order and several of the native servants seemed

missing, while those whom Mary saw slunk or hurried about with ashy and scared faces.

But no one would tell her anything and her Ayah did not come.

She was actually left alone as the morning went on, and at last she wandered out into

the garden and began to play by herself under a tree near the veranda.

She pretended that she was making a flower- bed, and she stuck big scarlet hibiscus

blossoms into little heaps of earth, all the time growing more and more angry and

muttering to herself the things she would

say and the names she would call Saidie when she returned.

"Pig! Pig! Daughter of Pigs!" she said, because to call a native a pig is the worst

She was grinding her teeth and saying this over and over again when she heard her

mother come out on the veranda with some one.

She was with a fair young man and they stood talking together in low strange

voices. Mary knew the fair young man who looked

She had heard that he was a very young officer who had just come from England.

The child stared at him, but she stared most at her mother.

She always did this when she had a chance to see her, because the Mem Sahib--Mary

used to call her that oftener than anything else--was such a tall, slim, pretty person

Her hair was like curly silk and she had a delicate little nose which seemed to be

disdaining things, and she had large laughing eyes.

All her clothes were thin and floating, and Mary said they were "full of lace."

They looked fuller of lace than ever this morning, but her eyes were not laughing at

They were large and scared and lifted imploringly to the fair boy officer's face.

"Awfully," the young man answered in a trembling voice.

"Awfully, Mrs. Lennox. You ought to have gone to the hills two

The Mem Sahib wrung her hands. "Oh, I know I ought!" she cried.

"I only stayed to go to that silly dinner party.

At that very moment such a loud sound of wailing broke out from the servants'

quarters that she clutched the young man's arm, and Mary stood shivering from head to

The wailing grew wilder and wilder. "What is it?

"Some one has died," answered the boy officer.

"You did not say it had broken out among your servants."

"Come with me! Come with me!" and she turned and ran into

After that, appalling things happened, and the mysteriousness of the morning was

The cholera had broken out in its most fatal form and people were dying like

The Ayah had been taken ill in the night, and it was because she had just died that

Before the next day three other servants were dead and others had run away in

terror. There was panic on every side, and dying

During the confusion and bewilderment of the second day Mary hid herself in the

Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her, and strange things happened of which she

knew nothing. Mary alternately cried and slept through

She only knew that people were ill and that she heard mysterious and frightening

Once she crept into the dining-room and found it empty, though a partly finished

meal was on the table and chairs and plates looked as if they had been hastily pushed
