The secret garden — Chapter Sixteen I will live forever (上)

　　Meanwhile, the doctor arrived at the house. He hated these visits. He expected the boy to be alone, and still angry and upset. He usually was, the morning after his tantrums. But Mrs. Medlock had different news for him. "Doctor, you"ll never believe it. That sour faced little girl, who"s almost as bad as Colin, has calmed him. Last night she did what all of us are afraid to do. She just ran into the room and yelled at him to stop. She said he was being ridiculous! Now, this afternoon -- well, you have to see for yourself. Come upstairs."

　　The doctor saw Colin and Mary talking and laughing. Colin actually looked happy! They were looking at some pictures of flowers.

　　"These large, purple flowers are called delphiniums," said Colin.

　　"We"ve got some of those in the garden already!" said Mary.

　　Then they saw the doctor and stopped speaking.

　　"Well, my boy. you are looking better after your long night," said the doctor.

　　"I"m feeling much better. I want some fresh air, so I"m going out in my chair tomorrow, if the weather"s nice," said Colin boldly.
