The Hundred Dresses - I

Question
CBSEENEN10000637

Why was Maddie bothered about Peggy's making fun of Wanda?

Solution

Peggy's business of asking Wanda everyday about her dresses and shoes bothered Maddie because she herself belonged to a poor family. She had to wear somebody’s handed down clothes. She felt embarrassed and played with marbles in her hands when Peggy would tease Wanda. Maddie had no sympathy for Wanda but she apprehended that someday Peggy might start the dresses game on her.
