The Secret Garden Summary (page 1-50)


The Secret Garden:

The Story Started with a girl named Mary Lennox. She was sent to live with her uncle because everybody said that she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. 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 was born in India and had always been ill. Mary Lennox's father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself. Her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with a 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 (an Indian Maid), who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child of sight as much as possible. The Ayah would do everything that Mary Lennox says because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying. One frightfully hot morning, when she was about nine years old, she was awanked feeling very cross, and she became crosser and crosser when she was that the servant wasn't her Ayah. Mary Lennox starts questioning the servant. The Woman looked frightened, and she only stammered that the Ayah would not come.

Everything was different for Mary that day. All of the servants were missing and some were crying. Nobody would tell her that her Ayah has died by the disease in the country. Mary was suspecting something so she went to the garden and pretended to make the flowers, suddenly one officer came in. Mrs. Lennox started to become worried and the officer told that someone had died. The officer told the Mrs. Lennox that it is one of your servants, so the officer and Mrs. Lennox went inside the house and told all the servants to go back to their house. The Next Day Mrs. Lennox told Mary whatever happened to her Ayah and Mary hid herself in the nursery. After a moment everyone will forget about Mary and they will think that Mary never existed. She would sleep all day and will be thinking of her new Ayah.

After 5 hours of sleep Mary woke up and heard a complete silence. She started to feel scared and suddenly there was a small rustling and saw that there was a little snake gliding. Almost, in the next few minute she heard some footsteps and she hid herself away. Suddenly one man came in the room and saw that there was one girl who was never known before. Mary was sent to some English clergyman. She sat in the train all day and suddenly fell asleep. When she woke up she saw one lady who was treating her very nicely like what her Ayah had done. She came to the Medlock’s house and had been treated like a daughter in the family.
