"A Young Rajah"
- The next day, Mary tells Martha that she has seen the secret of Misselthwaite Manor: Colin Craven.
- Martha freaks out: She thinks she'll lose her job, or that Colin will throw a fit now that a stranger has seen him.
- Mary promises Martha that it's okay. Colin likes her, after all.
- A bell rings summoning Martha, who comes back to bring Mary to Colin.
- Colin behaves toward Martha like some young king or lord or something; Mary compares him to a "Rajah," which is a Sanskrit term for a prince. (We have a slightly more direct way of saying it: He's a spoiled jerk).
- Watching his bratty behavior, Mary tells Colin he is nothing at all like Dickon (which is about the worst insult possible in Mary's world).
- (Of course, it's also true, since Dickon likes to crawl around with foxes and rabbits and things, and Colin never leaves his room.)
- As Mary and Colin sit together, Mrs. Medlock and Colin's doctor, Dr. Craven, come in.
- Dr. Craven thinks that Mary is exciting Colin too much, and that Colin should basically just lie there and think about being sick.
- Colin thinks that's stupid—Mary helps him forget about being sick, which is why he wants her there.
