Nobody seemed to care about Mary.
She was born in India, where her father was a British official.
he was busy with his work,and her mother, who was very beautiful, spend all her time going to parties. So an Indian woman, Kamala, was paid to take care of the little girl. Mary was not a pretty child. She had a thin angry face and thin yellow hair. She was always giving orders to Kamala, who had to obey.
Mary never thought of other people, but only of herself. In fact, she was a very selfish, disagreeable, bad-tempered little girl.
