Read the excerpt from The Secret Garden:

"When her Ayah was dead there was no one to give a thought to the little things. Think of the servants running away and leaving her all alone in that deserted bungalow. Colonel McGrew said he nearly jumped out of his skin when he opened the door and found her standing by herself in the middle of the room."

"Deserted bungalow" helps the reader understand how empty the bungalow is.

"Giving a thought" helps the reader understand how neglected Mary is.

"Nearly jumped out of his skin" helped the reader understand how surprised McGrew is.
