On my own view from the story Kew Gardens, "the " and "women" seem to be the most important words.

This tool can get the most frequent words and list all phrases. It also can analyze the correlation between two different words and calculate vocabulary density and average words per sentence. It found in the story Kew Gardens, "bed", "flower", "women" are the most important words, which appear at least 10 times.
