Read the excerpt from The Secret Garden.

She put her hand accidentally upon the tapestry near her, and then sprang back, feeling quite startled. The tapestry was the covering of a door which fell open and showed her that there was another part of the corridor behind it, and Mrs. Medlock was coming up it with her bunch of keys in her hand and a very cross look on her face.

“What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “What did I tell you?”

“I turned round the wrong corner,” explained Mary. “I didn’t know which way to go and I heard someone crying.” She quite hated Mrs. Medlock at the moment, but she hated her more the next.

“You didn’t hear anything of the sort,” said the housekeeper. “You come along back to your own nursery or I’ll box your ears.”

And she took her by the arm and half pushed, half pulled her up one passage and down another until she pushed her in at the door of her own room.

“Now,” she said, “you stay where you’re told to stay or you’ll find yourself locked up. The master had better get you a governess, same as he said he would. You’re one that needs someone to look sharp after you. I’ve got enough to do.”

She went out of the room and slammed the door after her, and Mary went and sat on the hearth-rug, pale with rage. She did not cry, but ground her teeth.

“There was someone crying—there was—there was!” she said to herself.

She had heard it twice now, and sometime she would find out. She had found out a great deal this morning. She felt as if she had been on a long journey, and at any rate she had had something to amuse her all the time, and she had played with the ivory elephants and had seen the gray mouse and its babies in their nest in the velvet cushion.

"She did not cry, but ground her teeth."

The rise in popularity of farmers' markets has caused many people to rethink their use of regular grocery stores. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Farmers' markets have fresh and local produce, and often you get a chance to meet the people who grow your food. This isn't the case with grocery stores, where you'll never get to meet the farmers. Grocery stores are starting to have more local products, though, and they have a better variety of goods. Another thing to consider is the setting itself. Farmers' markets are usually in more pleasant, open-air locations where there's often live music playing. Grocery stores, on the other hand, can be busy and uncomfortable if you don't like shopping. The pleasant atmosphere comes at a price, though, as your bill at a farmers' market is likely to be 25 percent more than at a grocery store. All in all, the freshness and quality of food is worth a little more money. Farmers' markets are the way to go.

The author believes the best way to address the issue of starving populations is to hold governments responsible for famine. The author rejects the definition of famine because there are factors that prevent a true understanding of famine. The author is more focused on stopping suffering in war-torn countries than finding ways to relieve famine.
