Not sure exactly why she was running so quickly, but on second look I think she was running from Hyde.
Even if she wasn't, Hyde was near-pure evil & enjoyed inflicting pain and torment. That's why he kicked her so viciously.
Judging from the way the mom held her screeching, bloody daughter yet had no concern for her (she just wanted the check) the little girl was likely just a neglected child running around at night.
Was she supposed to be 18? I thought she was supposed to be in her very early 20s. But then, she did look a little too old even for that. But I admit I liked Roberts in the role, she let in a vulnerability that was surprising in its believability. I truly forgot she was acting in several scenes.
It was soooo refreshing to see her 'plain herself up', freed from that ridiculous toothy-grin & extensions-ridden mane of hair she normally sports. Like Farrah in "The Burning Bed", Julia proved she could actually ACT here.

The "only 18" bit seems like a mistake in the trivia. Nowhere in the film does Mrs. Farraday say that Mary is only 18, she simply says that Mary isn't even an apprentice. It has been ages since I've read the book, but I don't think she was supposed to be 18, perhaps early 20s.
