Does the 1987 adaptation kill off Dickon??? DICKON ALSO LIVES FOREVER, DAMMIT. ALL OF THEM LIVE FOREVER. Although eventually that would make them sort of creepy and vampiric which is also out of keeping with The Secret Garden, so I guess maybe not.
A good Ferber woman is sexual but not slutty, good at domestic tasks but not too good - and not given to innovations like those weird recipes in women's magazines, like chocolate pudding with vanilla sauce. (I don't understand why chocolate pudding with vanilla sauce is supposed to strike fear into our hearts, but apparently it is.) She's possessed of a firm will but nonetheless capable of melting into tears when a good man's shoulder presents itself. She stands by her man and she never nags or complains.
