Answer 2

The statement has been taken from the short story 'The Little Girl' written by Katherine Mansfield.

"The dark didn't matter she lay still".

• This statement was made when Kezia's Mother was admitted to the hospital and her grandmother had to be in the hospital all night.
• Kezia was in her house at night, along with her Father and the cook, Alice.
• Kezia was scared of her Father and thus she regarded him as a dark, huge man who did not love her back, and who scolded her a lot. But this opinion about her father changed that night.
• Kezia saw one of her same old nightmares the night her Grandmother was not with her and she started screaming in absolute fear.
• At that time, her father came and consoled her. He lay beside her, made her comfortable, and assured her that she will not get those nightmares again.
• All this care and comfort made Kezia forget about the dark man her father was, she found warmth and comfort in her father and this helped improve the relationship between Kezia and her father.

Thus, the significance of the statement has been explained.
