　　"There used to be, ten years ago," said Ben. He looked uncomfortable again.

　　"I want to see them," said Mary. "Where is the green door to that garden? It must be there somewhere."

　　""There was a door ten years ago, but there isn"t now," Ben said firmly. He looked as unfriendly as he had when she first met him.

　　"But there must he a door!" cried Mary.

　　"There’s no door that anyone can find. And it"s none of your business," he said. "Don"t be a troublesome child, prying into the affairs of other. I must go on with my work. Go away and play somewhere. I have no more time." Ben Weatherstaff picked up his tools, and walked away. He did not say goodbye.
