介绍:
Just then she saw her mother coming into the garden，with a young Englishman．They did not notice the child，who listened to their conversation．
‘It's very bad，is it？’her mother asked the young man in a worried voice．
‘Very bad，’he answered seriously．‘People are dying like flies．It's dangerous to stay in this town．You should go to the hills，where there's no disease．’
‘Oh，I know！’she cried．‘We must leave soon！’
Suddenly they heard loud cries coming from the servants’rooms，at the side of the house．
‘What's happened？’cried Mary's mother wildly．
‘I think one of your servants has just died．You didn't tell me the disease is here，in your house！’
‘I didn't know！’she screamed．‘Quick，come with me！’And together they ran into the house．
Now Mary understood what was wrong．The terrible disease had already killed many people in the town，and in all the houses people were dying．In Mary's house it was Kamala who had just died．Later that day three more servants died there．
