Mary did not answer, and Mrs Medlock wus surprised because the child was not interested 1 where she was going to live. "The house is six hundred years old, and it’s near the moor’, she went on. “There are a hun dred rooms, but most of them are shut up aul there are big gardens round the house, and frees, and —" she stopped and then she said, "But there’s nothing more’, Mary was always interested in new things, but she did not want people to know that she wag interested, so she sat still.

Each morning when she woke up Martha was lighting the fire, and a meal was wailing im the ext room. Later she went outside inte the gardens because there was nothing ta do inside the house. One morning when she woke up, she fell hungry. At last she knew what it felt Tike. ‘To her sumprise, she ate all her food, ‘I'm good today’, she said to Martha. "You're hungry because of the fresh air from the moor’, Martha said. “Soon you'll be really healthy’. ‘But | have nothing to play with in the yu ens’, said Mary, "Nothing to play with!’ cried Martha. “My brothers and sisters play with whatever they car find, They just run about and took at things’. ov etl!

One day Mary was wondering: why (here were $0 many plants there when sud denly she heard the robin singing.

At last, on the second floor, nw opened one of the doors. Inside was a bie hei room, After that, she opened more and iy doors, until she began to think that she liad been into every room in the house. The sly living things which she saw during the whole moming were a family of mice. She lost her way two or three times when she tried to find her own room again.

In the beginning she had not liked Martha at all, but now she liked her a great deal. The skipping rope was a wonderful thing Mary skipped and counted, and skipped and counted, until her face was quite red, Then she skipped into the kitchen garden, where [en Weatherstalf was working, and talking to the robin, She wanted Ben to see her skip, “Well! he said when he saw her.

"First, I'm going to see Dickon, but I'll come back soon, And when I come back, I'll tell you something which is very important — it’s about the secret garden’. ‘Oh, how wonderful!’ cried Colin. ‘Please come back quickly’.

The garden was so beautiful that Mary did not want to go back to Colin, but she did. And Colin looked very pleased to see her again. “You smell lovely’, he said, "What is it?’ "It’s the spring amd the fresh air from the moor”, she answered. She sat down and they talked about Dickon and his animals. "Do they really understand what Dickon says?’ asked Colin, "And does he really Know what they say to him?*, “He says that he does?, Mary answered.

Just before they went out Colin was very quiet, "What big eyes you've got, Colin’, said Mary. ‘What are you thinking about?’, ‘I'm thinking about the garden and the spring’, he answered. ‘I've mever seen the spring before.

"There are so many sounds and smells that | can't believe it!" he said happily. They saw no one in the gardens, but they walked for a long time before they went into the secret garden. As they got nearer the door, they began to talk quietly. ‘This is where the robin showed me the key’, Mary said. "And this is the doar. Push the wheelchair inside quickly, Dickon!" Colin covered his eyes with his hands, He did not look until they were inside the garden. He looked at everything, in the same way that Mary and Dickon had done when they first saw the garden, ‘I shall get better!’ he cried, "Mary and Dick- on, I shall get well! I shall live for ever!*. That afternoon Colin felt that the whole world was good and beautiful. He began to feel better, His face became less white, and he laughed all the time, He sat in his wheelchair under one of the fruit tees while Dickon and Mary worked, \Ar thesia Se ba gl gd aus OF ily aid) Gey etl ll hs Bee aly gabe a] see Jy Sb ast de al. ah dual st poet q # wid dhe hyaline vehi NB age cd Lukey splat gael Uyak f Gighane: Nola, LN ge bail oe vig ptt Giyak!

Then Dickon pushed the chair slowly around the garden, and they stopped and looked at all the wonderful things, Colin thought that the garden was like a fairy garden. "L wonder if we shall see the robin?’ he asked Dickon. Then he noticed an old tree. "Why is part of that tree broken?” he asked. ‘lt happened a long time ago’, Dickon answered. He stopped, and then he said sudden- ly: “Look, look, there’s the robin. He's been looking for food for his wife . So Colin saw the robin at last, and he forgot to ask about the broken tree again. Mary and Dickon were very glad about this, because the broken tree had caused the death of his mother, and they did not want to tell him that. They watched the robin for some time as he carried food to his wife, and then they remem- bered that it was time for tea. They had a bas- ket of food with them, and they sat on the grass under the trees. ‘T don’t want this afternoon to end", said Col- in slowly.

Tt was nearly evening, and the sun was going down, The garden was very still and quiet. Sud- denly Colin broke the silence. ‘Who is that man?” he asked. "Which man?” cried Mary and Dickon together. Colin pointed to the wall around the garden Mary and Dickon tumed, and there was Ben Weatherstaff. They could only see his head over the top of the wall. He looked very angry. From the place that he had climbed to he could only see Mary. "What are you doing, you naughty girl?” he shouted. "Why are you there? How did you gel into that garden?’. ‘The robin showed me the way", Mary answered.
