Mary was the youngest of four sisters and never quite fit in with them—they actively disliked her, which shaped her early years. She was a shy kid, more comfortable with plants than people, and spent a lot of time gardening. Her family situation was complicated: her mother was actually her father's second wife, brought in after his first wife died. That second marriage wasn't exactly welcomed by the family, and when Mary was only five, her mother passed away too.
By the time she was young, she'd already been betrothed to Alan Stuart—one of those arranged deals families worked out back then.
