Mary Postgate by Rudyard Kipling

Mary Postgate is a name of the short story that Rudyard Kipling wrote before his son died in World War One. Mary Postgate story is so complex. Mary's character is more complex than I thought of. 

The beginning of the story, Mary was the nurse. She serves for the Village Nursing Committee. She took care of Miss. Fowler, middle of 55's, crippled from a disease called rheumatoid arthritis. Mary and Miss. Fowler knew each other after Miss. Fowler's nephew was thrown out from the orphanage, he is eleven years old. Mary stood her up herself and willing to help them. She has her business with education, practiced with public and private school. She does the responsible of checking the printed cloth-lists, wrote down extra of bills, wrote to doctors, nurses, masters, and matrons. Miss. Fowler repaid her for what she have done.  Mary's personality is variable. She can be very hold back, barely to show her feelings. She can be humorous, serious, laid-back, hard-working if needed, helpful, and caring. Miss. Fowler was bragged about her. She told everyone that Mary is a wonderful woman and she can lead a good future, life, and a big difference in her time period. Mary has deal alot with herself after her parents' death. She suffered alot after many deaths ahead her. Miss. Fowler decided to give her some poison drink so she can rest in peace without any pain. In the end, she laid so handsome as Miss. Fowler said. Actually, it confuses me in someway about death situations. I don't actually understand the story but I am trying my best =)
