Seriously. Most of the point of The Secret Garden is that Mary here is a horrible spoiled child who needs to grow out of it.

Exactly. Same for some Agatha Christie books where a character says something kinda racist and is later revealed to be the murderer. People will accuse Agatha of racism, and I’m just like bro, it’s a clue that this character is the bad guy. She’s reinforcing that racism = bad.
