===
I have read to Chapter 16 of “A Little Princess”. The heroine, Sara became a maid after her father, Captain Crewe died without money. She had to finish her errands day and night in all kind of weather.
But the situation changed when an Indian man came to England. The Indian man was Captain Crewer’s best friend. He was looking for Captain’s daughter.
But now, he didn’t know Sara was the girl he was looking for.
The Indian man was living beside Sara’s school, he was moved by Sara’s kindness and was sympathy for her situation. He sent to Sara food and clothes in secret. Sara was very thankful the man who helped her.
Mrs. Minchin, the headmaster of the school became nice to Sara again because she knew a rich guy was helping Sara.
I’m quietly interested in Mrs. Minchin when I read this scene.
I realized that Mrs. Minchin was a simple woman who only cared about money.
What’s her situation when the Indian guy realized Sara was the girl who he was looking for, and when Sara became rich again.
