The secret garden — Chapter Eight The Robin shows the way

　　"Oh, my!" cried Martha. "Of coupe they would. Would you really do that, Miss Mary?"

　　"Yes. India is very different from England," said Mary. "Did Dickon and your mother like to hear you talk about me?"

　　"Why, of course! Diakon loved it. However my mother was a little worded about you, because you"re alone so much," said Martha. "Mother said, "Hasn"t Mr. Craven got a governess for her?""

　　"I don"t want a governess!" said Mary loudly.

　　"Well, I told Mother that he"ll probably not think about it for a few years. But mother said you should be studying, and you should have a woman to take care of you. She also said, "Now, Martha, just think how you would feel, a little girl with no mother, all alone in a big house! Make sure to cheer her up." I told her I would try."

　　Mary looked at Martha for a long time. "You do cheer me up. I like to hear you talk," she said.

　　Then Martha left the room and came back with something in her hand. "I"ve brought you a gift! It"s from Mother."

　　"A gift?" said Mary. How could someone with fourteen hungry people to feed give anyone a gift?
