answered. "So long as I know what's expected of
me, I can manage."

"What's expected of you, Mrs. Medlock," Mr.
Pitcher said, "is that you make sure that he's not
disturbed and that he doesn't see what he doesn't
want to see."

And then Mary Lennox was led up a broad
staircase and down a long corridor and up a short
flight of steps and through another corridor and
another, until a door opened in a wall and she
found herself in a room with a fire in it and a
supper on a table.

Mrs. Medlock said unceremoniously:

"Well, here you are! This room and the next
are where you'll live -- and you must keep to
them. Don't you forget that!"

It was in this way Mistress Mary arrived at
Misselthwaite Manor and she had perhaps never
felt quite so contrary in all her life.
