Before the next day three other servants were dead and others had run away in terror.

There was panic on every side, and dying people in all the bungalows.
During the confusion and bewilderment of the second day Mary hid herself in the nursery and was forgotten by everyone.

Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her, and strange things happened of which she knew nothing.

Mary alternately cried and slept through the hours.

She only knew that people were ill and that she heard mysterious and frightening sounds.
