About This Passage
This one sentence tracks a whole change in Mary — doors first, then supper, then three feelings in a row. The feelings are small and ordinary ones a happy child would know and Mary has never had.
She stayed out of doors nearly all day, and when she sat down to her supper at night she felt hungry and drowsy and comfortable.
