Greg--- Not to mention people being caught in the rude.

Seems like the grumpy quality of the narrative is being picked up on, but
hard to tell.

*The Secret Garden* is antiquarian by American standards, having appeared
in the latter part of the 1900's. I note there is a modern TV series about
it.

Paul - Would it be permissible to incorporate some of the TV, so the kids
get a richer interpretive object and mix it with reading?
