KITTY NEALE'S_LOST ANGEL-chapter 6-10

hilda and ellen have been in somerset for two years now... it is ellen's twelvth birthday ...she's oficially a grown up now . hilda and gertie give ellen her birthday gifts... one gift appears to be from doug..he had made ellen a wooden cat and sent it to her along with a letter.. hilda is skeptical towards gertie now that gertie started hugging her and so on...
hilda, gertie , and ellen go to the village and hilda gets a cake made by mrs.brandon... they go back home... hilda prepares vegetable soup ..they all sit and eat ..then hilda gets the cake...ellen feels so happy...hilda starts hallucinating, she fears something went wrong with doug ...ellen makes her birthday wish...
 hilda's worries about doug are all gone now that she had finally received a letter from him... she is still having this weird feeling that someone is standing right beside her.. and thus she asks gertie whether she believed in ghosts or not.. the latter told her that it's probably the work of her imagination and that she thought ghosts do not exist (things have to be scientifically proven first in order for her to believe them).doug arrival at gertie's was a surprise longed for and rejuvinated at by both ellen and her mom yet loathed most by gertie..
i can't believe that gertie actually feels jealous from doug.. this woman is sickingly sick!she's most filled with rage especially when she knew that doug would be staying with them for the next three weeks..
doug is still skeptical towards gertie and is constantly worried about hilda and ellen and at one moment he lost his temper ... at that moment gertie realized that she had managed to hide her feelings from hilda but wasn't successfull at doing the same with doug...the three weeks flew by so quick and it was time for doug to leave again ... as usual hilda and her daughter were feeling so sad while gertie couldn't be happier at that moment ... she couldnt' wait for him to leave .. she did her best to get doug to the station on time so that he would not stay a single second longer.. a few days later, both gertie and ellen caught a flu or something and hence had to remain in bed both half awake and hilda nursing both and taking care of the household and the animals... after almost a week of a fluctuating fever and of illness, ellen and gertie are hale while hilda who had been fatigued from all the effort she's done during the past week falls unconscious due to some breathing illness.. lucky enough hilda was taken to the hospital by mrs brandon and there she is taken good care of...
gertie and ellen paid her a visit and the villagers were so nice to the two of them.. they offered them a rabbit pie and some chicken soup and were so gentle with them.. gertie had mistakingly thought that those people were haughty nosy ones but it appears they were all a bunch of caring and loving people.. yet gertie still believes that her isolation mustn't be intrused in any  possible way... at first i thought that the people knew all about gertie and that they loathed her and that that's why she thought they were only after gossip but it appears that they treat her all well while on the other hand she's being supercilius...
