  CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

  COMING ALIVE — Part 2

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Colin grew very interested in the ways of nature. He would lie on the grass for hour, watching the insects and birds. He was certain that there was some magic in them that made them grow. Sometimes, he would talk to Mary, Ben Weatherstaff, and Dickon about magic.

  "When I grow up, I am going to be a scientist," Colin would say. "I will learn about the magic that is in the earth. It is the same magic that is in me. It"s the magic that made me want to walk."

  The secret garden was not the only garden Dickon worked in. Often, when Mary and Colin didn"t see him, he was busy working in his family"s garden. They grew cabbages, potatoes, carrots, and herbs. Dickon"s mother always said that their vegetables tasted better than anyone else" s.

  One evening in early summer Dickon was working in his garden. He was telling his mother, Mrs. Sowerby, all about Colin and Mary. How they had changed! Mary had become a very pretty girl. She now looked like her mother once had. Colin was looking so much healthier. His face was fuller, and his skin was a healthy pink instead of pale white. He was always hungry from his daily exercise in the garden.
