Throughout the story so far, Mary has been very reserved and just kind of going with whatever the bush boy and her brother do. However, you do catch a hint of jealousy from her toward the bush boy. This is due to Peter looking to him for comfort instead of his older sister. It even say on page 65, that, "Uncertain, unsure, she fell back on a woman's oldest line of action-- passivity. She'd simply wait and see." Right now, Mary is unsure about how much help the bush boy is giving them and whether or not he is leading them in the right direction. I find this a little odd, if I were in her shoes, I would be looking for all the help I could get, especially from someone who knows the land.
