Well, Kazuma works better for Kyo, anyway. You know, Yuki doesn't really have an adult to confide in, does he? In fact, he doesn't confide in much of anyone until later when he talks to Kakeru (I've read way ahead of where I've had time to blog). Ayame knows a fair amount of it just from being there, and Hatsuharu similarly, but they tell him things - he doesn't open up to them much at all. The poor kid is totally impacted emotionally - his saying anything to Tohru is a tremendous thing.
I re-read The Secret Garden about once a year - I have a nice hardback with the Tasha Tudor illustrations. I like A Little Princess as well (although it has major issues with what would be called continuity if it were a movie), but I can't deal with any of Burnett's other books.
