　　When Mary woke up she was handy. Luckily, Mrs. Medlock had a basket of food with her. They had some cold chicken, bread and butter, and some hot tea. Afterwads Mrs. Medlock fell asleep. Mary stared out the window at the rain. Would it ever stop? She wished she had a book to read. Finally she fell asleep again.

　　Mrs.Medlock woke her up. It was night time. "It"s time to get off the train!” she said, “We’re at Thwaite Station. We"ve still got a long way to travel before we reach Misselthwaite Manor.”

　　They found their carriage. The carriage driver and Mrs.Medlock knew each other a little.

　　"I see you"ve returned!" said the driver to Mrs.Medlock. “and you brought the child with you ”

　　"Yes, that’s her” said Mrs.Medlock. ”How is your wife?”

　　"She is all right. Well, let’s go.”

　　Mary and Mrs.Medlock entered into carriage. Mary stared at the window into the darkness. She wished she could see the countryside. She wasn’t an easily frightened child, but she couldn’t help wanting to know what were going to happen.
