Helen INITIALLY regarded her sister Mildred as an intruder in the family and a usurper of her share of the family's attention and affection. She thought that with Mildred's arrival, she had ceased to be her mother's only darling. This thought filled her with jealousy. She sat in her mother's lap constantly where Helen used to sit and seemed to take up all her care and time. One day, a much-petted, much-abused doll which had been named Nancy afterward and bore the brunt of Helen's temper and tenderness, became the WORSE for wear. Helen had a variety of dolls but she never loved any as much as she loved Nancy who also had her own special cradle. On a certain day, she discovered her sister sleeping in that cradle peacefully. At this presumption on the part of her sister to whom she did not feel any BOND yet MADE Helen extremely wrathful. She rushed upon the cradle, overturned it and the baby might have been killed had her mother not caught her as she FELL. This was how Mildred was not hurt by Helen's brash actions. However, with time, Helen grew to love her sister.
