1
The Secret Garden, Chapter 2 Mistress Mary Quite Contrary Mary had liked to look at her mother from a distance,
2
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.
3
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.
4
If she had been older, she would no doubt have been very anxious at being left alone in the world, but she was very young,
5
and as she had always been taken care of, she supposed she always would be.
6
What she thought was that she would like to know if she was going to nice people, who would be polite to her,
7
and give her her own way as her ayah and the other native servants had done.
8
She knew that she was not going to stay at the English clergyman's house where she was taken at first.
9
She did not want to stay.
10
The English clergyman was poor and he had five children nearly all the same age
11
and they wore shabby clothes and were always quarrelling and snatching toys from each other.
12
Mary hated their untidy bungalow and was so disagreeable to them that after the first day or two, nobody would play with her.
13
By the second day, they had given her a nickname which made her furious.
14
It was Basil who thought of it first.
15
Basil was a little boy with impudent blue eyes and a turned -up nose, and Mary hated him.
16
She was playing by herself under a tree, just as she had been playing the day the cholera broke out.
17
She was making heaps of earthen paths for a garden, and Basil came and stood near to watch her.
18
Presently, he got rather interested, and suddenly made a suggestion.
19
Why don't you put a heap of stones there and pretend it is a rockery, he said.
20
They're in the middle, and he leaned over her to point.
21
Go away, cried Mary.
22
I don't want boys.
23
Go away.
24
For a moment Basil looked angry, and then he began to tease.
25
He was always teasing his sisters.
26
He danced round and round her and made faces and sang and laughed.
27
Mistress Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow, with silver bells and cockle shells and marigolds all in a row?
28
He sang it until the other children heard, and laughed too, and the crosser Mary got, the more they sang Mistress Mary,
29
quite contrary, and after that, as long as she stayed with them, they called her Mistress Mary,
30
quite contrary, when they spoke of her to each other, and often when they spoke to her.
31
You are going to be sent home, Basil said to her, at the end of the week, and we're glad of it.
32
I am glad of it too, answered Mary.
33
Where is home?
34
She doesn't know where home is, said Basil, with seven -year -old scorn.
35
It's England, of course.
36
Our grandmama lives there, and our sister Mabel was sent to her last year.
37
You are not going to your grandmama.
38
You have none.
39
You are going to your uncle.
40
His name is Mr. Archibald Craven.
41
I don't know anything about him, snapped Mary.
42
I know you don't, Basil answered.
43
You don't know anything.
44
Girls never do.
45
I heard father and mother talking about him.
46
He lives in a great big desolate old house in the country and no one goes near him.
47
He's so cross he won't let them and they wouldn't come if he would let them.
48
He's a hunchback and he's horrid.
49
I don't believe you, said Mary, and she turned her back and stuck her fingers in her ears because she would not listen anymore.
50
But she thought over it a great deal afterward and
51
when Mrs. Crawford told her that night
52
that she was going to sail away to England in a few days and go to her uncle, Mr. Archibald Craven, who lived at Misselthwaite Manor,
53
she looked so stony and stubbornly uninterested that they did not know what to think about her.
54
They tried to be kind to her, but she only turned her face away when Mrs. Crawford attempted to kiss her
55
and held herself stiffly when Mr. Crawford patted her shoulder.
56
She is such a plain child, Mrs Crawford said pityingly afterward, and her mother was such a pretty creature.
57
She had a very pretty manner too, and Mary has the most unattractive ways I ever saw in a child.
58
The children call her Mistress Mary quite contrary, and though it's naughty of them, one can't help understanding it.
59
Perhaps if her mother had carried her pretty face and her pretty manners often are into the nursery, Mary might have learned some pretty ways too.
60
It is...
61
Very sad, now the poor beautiful thing is gone, to remember that many people never even knew that she had a child at all.
62
I believe she scarcely ever looked at her, sighed Mrs. Crawford.
63
When her ayah was dead, there was no one to give a thought to the little thing.
64
Think of the servants running away and leaving her all alone in that deserted bungalow.
65
Colonel McGrew said he nearly jumped out of his skin
66
when he opened the door and found her standing by herself in the middle of the room.
67
Mary made the long voyage to England under the care of an officer's wife, who was taking her children to leave them in a boarding school.
68
She was very much absorbed in her own little boy and girl,
69
and was rather glad to hand the child over to the woman Mr Archibald Craven sent to meet her in London.
70
The woman was his housekeeper at Misselthwaite Manor, and her name was Mrs. Medlock.
71
She was a stout woman, with very red cheeks and sharp black eyes.
72
She wore a very purple dress, a black silk mantle with jet fringe on it, and a black bonnet with purple velvet flowers,
73
which stuck up and trembled when she moved her head.
74
Mary did not like her at all, but as she very seldom liked people, there was nothing remarkable in that.
75
Besides which, it was very evident Mrs. Medlock did not think much of her.
76
My word, she's a plain little piece of goods, she said, and we'd heard that her mother was a beauty.
77
She hasn't handed much of it down, has she, ma 'am?
78
Perhaps she will improve as she grows older, the officer's wife said good -naturedly.
79
If she were not so sallow and had a nicer expression, her features are rather good.
80
Children alter so much.
81
She'll have to alter a good deal, answered Mrs. Medlock, and there's nothing likely to improve children at Misselthwaite, if you ask me.
82
They thought Mary was not listening, because she was standing a little apart from them at the window of the private hotel they had gone to.
83
She was watching the passing buses and cabs and people, but she heard quite well and was made very curious about her uncle and the place he lived in.
84
What sort of a place was it?
85
And what would he be like?
86
What was a hunchback?
87
She had never seen one.
88
Perhaps there were none in India.
89
Since she had been living in other people's houses and had had no ire, she had begun to feel lonely and to think queer thoughts which were new to her.
90
She had begun to wonder why she had never seemed to belong to anyone, even when her father and mother had been alive.
91
Other children seemed to belong to their fathers and mothers, but she had never seemed to really be anyone's little girl.
92
She had had servants and food and clothes, but no one had taken any notice of her.
93
She did not know that this was because she was a disagreeable child.
94
But then, of course, she did not know she was disagreeable.
95
She often thought that other people were, but she did not know that she was so herself.
96
She thought Mrs. Medlock the most disagreeable person she had ever seen, with her common, highly coloured face and her common fine bonnet.
97
When the next day they set out on their journey to Yorkshire, she walked through the station to the railway carriage with her head up
98
and trying to keep as far away from her as she could, because she did not want to seem to belong to her.
99
It would have made her angry to think people imagined she was her little girl.
100
But Mrs Medlock was not in the least disturbed by her and her thoughts.
101
She was the kind of woman who would stand no nonsense from young ones.
102
At least, that is what she would have said if she had been asked.
103
She had not wanted to go to London just when her sister Maria's daughter was going to be married, but she had a comfortable,
104
well -paid place as housekeeper at Misselthwaite manner, and the only way in
105
which she could keep it was to do at once what Mr. Archibald Craven told her to do.
106
She never dared even to ask a question.
107
Captain Lennox and his wife died of the cholera, Mr. Craven had said in his short, cold way.
108
Captain Lennox was my wife's brother, and I am their daughter's guardian.
109
The child is to be brought here.
110
You must go to London and bring her yourself.
111
So she packed her small trunk and made the journey.
112
Mary sat in her corner of the railway carriage and looked plain and fretful.
113
She had nothing to read or to look at, and she had folded her thin little black -gloved hands in her lap.
114
Her black dress made her look yellower than ever, and her limp light hair straggled from under her black crepe hat.
115
A more marred -looking young one I never saw in my life.
116
Mrs. Medlock thought, marred is a Yorkshire word and means spoiled and pettish.
117
She had never seen a child who sat so still without doing anything,
118
and at last she got tired of watching her and began to talk in a brisk, hard voice.
119
I suppose I may as well tell you something about where you are going to, she said.
120
Do you know anything about your uncle?
121
No, said Mary, never heard your father and mother talk about him?
122
No, said Mary, frowning.
123
She frowned because she remembered that her father and mother had never talked to her about anything in particular.
124
Certainly, they had never told her things.
125
Hmph, muttered Mrs. Medlock, staring at her queer, unresponsive little face.
126
She did not say any more for a few moments, and then she began again.
127
I suppose you might as well be told something, to prepare you, you are going to a queer place.
128
Mary said nothing at all, and Mrs. Medlock looked rather discomfited by her apparent indifference, but after taking a breath, she went on.
129
Not but that it's a grand big place in a gloomy way, and Mr. Craven's proud of it in his way, and that's gloomy enough too.
130
The house is six hundred years old, and it's on the edge of the moor, and there's near a hundred rooms in it, though most of them's shut up and locked.
131
And there's pictures, and fine old furniture, and things that's been there for ages.
132
And there's a big park round it, and gardens and trees with branches trailing to the ground, some of them.
133
She paused and took another breath.
134
But there's nothing else, she ended suddenly.
135
Mary had begun to listen in spite of herself.
136
It all sounded so unlike India, and anything new rather attracted her.
137
But she did not intend to look as if she were interested.
138
That was one of her unhappy, disagreeable ways.
139
So she sat still.
140
Well, said Mrs. Medlock, what do you think of it?
141
Nothing, she answered.
142
I know nothing about such places.
143
That made Mrs. Medlock laugh, a short sort of laugh.
144
Eh, she said, but you are like an old woman.
145
Don't you care?
146
It doesn't matter, said Mary, whether I care or not.
147
You are right enough there, said Mrs. Medlock.
148
It doesn't?
149
What you're to be kept at Misselthwaite Manor for, I don't know, unless because it's the easiest way.
150
He's not going to trouble himself about you, that's sure and certain.
151
He never troubles himself about no one.
152
She stopped herself as if she had just remembered something in time.
153
He's got a crooked back, she said.
154
That set him wrong.
155
He was a sour young man and got no good of all his money and big place till he was married.
156
Mary's eyes turned toward her, in spite of her intention not to seem to care.
157
She had never thought of the hunchbacks being married, and she was a trifle surprised.
158
Mrs. Medlock saw this, and as she was a talkative woman, she continued with more interest.
159
This was one way of passing some of the time at any rate.
160
She was a sweet, pretty thing, and he'd have walked the world over to get her a blade of grass she wanted.
161
Nobody thought she'd marry him, but she did, and people said she married him for his money, but she didn't.
162
She didn't, positively.
163
When she died, Mary gave a little involuntary jump.
164
Oh, did she die, she exclaimed, quite without meaning to.
165
She had just remembered a French fairy story she had once read, called Riquet à la Oup.
166
It had been about a poor hunchback and a beautiful princess, and it had made her suddenly sorry for Mr Archibald Craven.
167
Yes, she died, Mrs Medlock answered, and it made him queerer than ever.
168
He cares about nobody, he won't see people.
169
Most of the time he goes away, and when he is at Misselthwaite, he shuts himself up in the West Wing and won't let anyone but Pitcher see him.
170
Pitcher's an old fellow, but he took care of him when he was a child and he knows his ways.
171
It sounded like something in a book, and it did not make Mary feel cheerful.
172
A house with a hundred rooms, nearly all shut up, and with their doors locked, a house on the edge of a moor,
173
whatsoever a moor was, sounded dreary.
174
A man with a crooked back, who shut himself up also.
175
She stared out of the window with her lips pinched together, and it seemed quite natural
176
that the rain should have begun to pour down in grey slanting lines and splash and stream down the window panes.
177
If the pretty wife had been alive, she might have made things cheerful by being something like her own mother, and by running in and out and going to parties,
178
as she had done in frocks, full of lace.
179
But she was not there any more.
180
You needn't expect to see him, because ten to one you won't, said Mrs. Medlock, and you mustn't expect that there will be people to talk to you.
181
You'll have to play about and look after yourself.
182
You'll be told what rooms you can go into and what rooms you're to keep out of.
183
There's gardens enough.
184
But when you're in the house, don't go wandering and poking about.
185
Mr Craven won't have it.
186
I shall not want to go poking about, said Sour Little Mary, and just as suddenly as she had begun to be rather sorry for Mr Archibald Craven,
187
she began to cease to be sorry
188
and to think he was unpleasant enough to deserve all
189
that had happened to him
190
and she turned her face toward the streaming panes of the window of the railway carriage
191
and gazed out at the grey rainstorm which looked as if it would go on forever and ever.
192
She watched it so long and steadily that the greyness grew heavier and heavier before her eyes and she fell asleep.
193
And so ends the second chapter of Mary Lennox's story.
194
Chapter 3.
195
Across the Moor is just around the corner.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
