    • "The Whole of the Story" is an "in-universe essay", where the author comments on the many things that happened to Sara Crewe that did not make it into the 1888 novella version of "Sara Crewe", nor into the 1902 play of that story. These facts and episodes, which the author "discovered" later, are being added into the original novella.
