Awhy did you come here? Who called you!”
she shouted nervously. “I don't want you to
stay with me. [ want my own SCrvanent”
The woman seemed frightened, and Mary's
own servant did not come. IC was a strange, un
usual morning, for no one told her what to dhe.
So she went out to the garden to play. She
picked some Mowers and made a small lovely
garden of her own, She wis angry because she
did not know why she was lonely, She felt that
something must be wrong.
After some time, Mary heard her mother talk-
ing. She understood whit was wrong. Many
people in the house wee ill, and some hil
died. No one thought abet Mary, They were
thinking about their illness and about the people
who were dying, She became sad, She became
frightened, too. She went to ber room and cried
til) she fell asleep. She slept for a long time.
When she woke up. she noticed that everything,
was very quiet al home.
Mary thought, ‘Perhaps the sickness has
gone. Perhaps everyone nas got better, Surely,
some one will come and tke care cof me’.
She waited and waited, but no onc came to
sec her, and the house remained very quiet.
