Detailed explanation-1: -Susan Sowerby, Dickon and Martha’s mother, had confronted him in Thwaite village upon his return, and reproached him for neglecting Mary. Master Craven therefore wants to see Mary immediately, as he is leaving Misselthwaite again the following day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mrs. Medlock passes the journey by telling Mary dismal stories about the house and its master. Archibald Craven is indeed a hunchback, and a widower; the death of his lovely wife had been, for him, the end of any possibility of happiness. Most of his house’s hundred rooms are now kept locked and shuttered.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nurse, for the record, thinks that most of Colin’s trouble is that no one stands up to him when he’s hysterical. When Mary gets back to her rooms, she finds that Mr. Craven has sent her a bunch of picture books about gardening. She starts to soften toward Colin.
