Much like the original book, Poppins assumes a stern and haughty attitude. Within moments, Mary Poppins is already ordering the children around. As they pull the kite back in, to their astonishment, they see Mary Poppins herself holding the string and gliding down with the kite. Jane and Michael decide to fly a kite to entertain John and Barbara. In despair, she sends the four children to the park so she can have some peace at home. Michael fought with his sister Jane, little twins John and Barbara quarreled, the kitchen flue caught fire, the cherry trees were devastated by frost, and so on. One nurse, for instance, had been spat at by young Michael Banks and quit immediately. They had hired other nurses to take Poppins’ place, but none of them lasted long. Mary Poppins had deserted the family without notice. The Banks’ house is in complete disarray. The story picks up just a few months from when the original book left off.
