2 She had never thought there could be so many in any house.
3 But when you're in the house don't go wandering and poking about.
4 Here was another locked door added to the hundred in the strange house.
5 The house is lonely, and the park is lonely, and the gardens are lonely.
6 Mary felt lonelier than ever when she knew she was no longer in the house.
7 He lives in a great, big, desolate old house in the country and no one goes near him.
8 But no one came, and as she lay waiting the house seemed to grow more and more silent.
9 She felt as if they were wondering what a little girl from India was doing in their house.
10 She knew that she was not going to stay at the English clergyman's house where she was taken at first.
11 After they had left the station they had driven through a tiny village and she had seen whitewashed cottages and the lights of a public house.
12 They drove out of the vault into a clear space and stopped before an immensely long but low-built house which seemed to ramble round a stone court.

20 It was in that strange and sudden way that Mary found out that she had neither father nor mother left; that they had died and been carried away in the night, and that the few native servants who had not died also had left the house as quickly as they could get out of it, none of them even remembering that there was a Missie Sahib.
