The Secret Garden, Chapter 2 (excerpt)
By: Frances Hodgson Burnett
Mary had liked to look at her mother from a distance and she had thought her very pretty, but as she knew
very little of her she could scarcely have been expected to love her or to miss her very much when she was
gone. She did not miss her at all, in fact, and as she was a self-absorbed child she gave her entire thought to
herself, as she had always done.
