[edit] Plot summary

"My cousin Kate from Budapest is coming to live with us. She's delicate and has had the measles!" shouted Jancsi to a friend as he and his father were driving to the station to meet her.

Jancsi had imagined Kate as a sort of fragile, fair-haired princess, but the little girl who stepped off the train had plan black hair, a smudgy face, and skinny legs. From the moment Kate arrived, things happened. She was afraid of nothing and full of ideas. When Kate looked most angelic, you could be sure she was thinking up some mischief. Kate and Jancsi's adventures on his father's ranch in Hungary-- riding the horses, going to a Country Fair, celebrating Easter and Christmas-- are most exciting and gay, for Kate always does the unexpected thing.
