Question

what were the qualities that attracted everyone towards helen before she feel victim to her mysterious illness

Answer 1

Helen was a very bright and happy child. She attracted everyone's attention towards her with her mischiefs. In her childhood, she was an eager and self-asserting child. She imitated everyone and learnt walking as well as talking at an early age.
She had begun to show signs of eagerness and self asserting disposition. At six
months she could say "how d'ye " and once she had attracted the whole family by speaking out "Tea,Tea,Tea" just plainly. These were all the signs and qualities of Helen that attracted everyone towards her before she fell ill.
