A Little Princess (BR9)

Sara looked at him sadly. "Ralph Crewe," she said. "He died in India from a fever, two years ago."

Mr Carrisford's face went very white. "Carmichael," he whispered, "it is the child - the child!"


 Sara Crewe is a very rich little girl. She first comes to England when she is seven, and her father takes her to Miss Minchin's school in London. But on her eleventh birthday, she heard bad news about her father. After their reunion Sara Crewe's father forgot his daughter. I think that being forgotten is the saddest things. In addition, if your family forget you, you will have a feeling of black despair.
