The secret garden — Chapter Two Across the moors

　　"What does the moor look like? I want to see it.” said Mary to Mrs.Medlock.

　　"Look out of the window in about ten minutes and you"ll see then," said Mrs.Medlock. "You won"t see much, because it"s dark, but you"ll see something."

　　When Mary looked outside she saw a large, open space. There was long grass and hills. The grass moved in the wind. There were no trees or bushes. The wind made a strange sound as it moved through the grass.

　　"Now we"re on the moors," said Mrs.Medlock. "The moor is many miles of wild grass land. No trees or bushes grow here. Nothing lives on it but wild ponies and sheep."

　　Mary frowned. "It"s not the ocean, is it?" she asked. "The wind makes a strange sound in the grass. It sounds just like water. I don"t like it," she said.

　　"I don"t like it, either," said Mrs.Medlock. "But in spring, I suppose it"s nice enough. Plenty of people love the moors.”

　　Finally, after about two hours they arrived at Misselthwaite Manor. It was a very large, long house. There were very large oak trees all around it. Pitcher, Mr. Craven"s servant, met them at the door. Mary and Mrs.Medlock had a cup of tea in the kitchen.
