Mary Lennox is a spoiled, middle-class, self-centered child who has been recently orphaned. She is accepted into the quiet and remote country house of an uncle, who has almost completely withdrawn into himself after the death of his wife. Mary gradually becomes drawn into the hidden side of the house: why does she hear the crying of a unseen child? Why is there an overgrown, walled garden, its door long locked? (Summary by Peter)

Book Excerpt / CHAPTER I

THERE IS NO ONE LEFT

When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. 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 also. 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 learned her letters at all.

  1. I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I cannot check out on Dimepiecela site. I have read in Vogue that the brand was bought out by a UK hedge fund for $50 million. I’ve just bought the No Hate No Fear Tote from Amazon and absolutely love it xox

  2. I run a vape shop website directory and we have had a listing from a vape store in the United States that additionally offers CBD products. A Calendar month later on, PayPal has contacted use to say that our account has been restricted and have asked us to take away PayPal as a payment method from our vape store directory site. We do not offer for sale CBD items like CBD oil. We merely provide marketing and advertising services to CBD firms. I have checked out Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Top Health Store and if you take a good peek, you will witness that they supply a surprisingly comprehensive series of CBD goods, specifically CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement solution. It seems that PayPal is administering twos sets of rules to many different firms. Due to this constraint, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related web site. This has limited my payment options and now, I am intensely contingent on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have spoken with a barrister from a Magic Circle law practice in London and they said that what PayPal is doing is definitely illegal and inequitable as it ought to be applying an uniform criterion to all firms. I am still to get in touch with another lawyer from a US law office in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. In the meantime, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could provide me with alternative payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.
