When cholera swept through the hou in India where ten?year⁃old Mary Lennox lived, it killed her mother, her father and her rvants. Mary only survived by hiding herlf away.

“Poor little kid,” said one. “There is nobody left.”
Mary sighed as the train pulled out of the station. “More travelling!” she thought to herlf. “I’ve been going from person to person for weeks, like the booby prize(末等奖) in passing the parcel.” She was going to stay with the only relation she had left, her Uncle Archibald in Yorkshire.
Her black dress was stiff and itchy. She felt cold. Was England always so wet? So grey? It was very different from India. Even the people were different. They looked and sounded strange.
Just then Mrs Medlock spoke. She was her uncle’s houkeeper and had come to take Mary back to Yorkshire. “So,” said Mrs Medlock, “what do you know about your uncle?”
Mary said nothing.
“What a rude child!” thought Mrs Medlock. “And very plain looking. Why, her face
is so pale! Almost yellow.” But she asked again,“What did your mother and father tell you about your uncle?”
Mary just stared out of the window and scowled. The truth was, Mary’s mother and father had never said much to her about anything. Her father was always at work, and her mother was always at some party or others.
“Well, I’ll tell you anyway,” Mrs Medlock sniffed. “First of all, don’t expect a big welcome when you get to Mislthwaite Manor.”
“I shan’t!” Mary said, stung as if she had been accud of something.
Mrs Medlock raid an eyebrow. “Oh!
You shan’t, shan’t you? Well it’s a good job becau you shan’t get one! Mr Craven’s as sour as a crab apple (酸苹果). His wife who died young didn’t help but he was like it before then. He was born with a crooked back, e. That formed him, if you want my opinion.”goddamnit
Mary felt her spirits sink even lower. So Yorkshire was going to be just like India, then. There no one wanted her.消失英文
As if to prove it, when they finally arrived at Mislthwaite Manor, Mrs Medlock took her straight upstairs. “Master doesn’t want to e you,” she said. “He’s going to London in the morning.”
“Fine! I don’t want to e him either!” Mary thought. Holding her head high, she fol?lowed Mrs Medlock up a broad stairca and along corridor after corridor. At last Mary was shown into a room. It had a fire in it and a supper t out.
“Well, here you are. This room and the next is where you’ll stay. And I mean staying!
No wandering about! Mr Craven won’t have it and nor will I!” Mrs Medlock told her.
With that warm welcome, Mary Lennox was left alone.
