Answer the questions briefly.

What was Freda's request to Anne? Did she concede to her request? Why?

The neighbour’s daughter wanted to play with Marian. She said that Marian played by herself all the time. She might be feeling lonely. Freda requested Anne to let her play with Marian. In the face of Freda was a stubborn persistence to which Anne almost gave way. Marian was afraid of playing with other children because she thought she could not play their games property. She did not understand their jolly and slangy conversation. She felt disappointed in their company. The result was always the same. Marian would come home as soon as she could, her drooping shoulders expressing despair.
