The secret garden — Chapter Sixteen I will live forever (上)
The doctor was shocked. Colin had said that he hated fresh air. "Well, all fight, but it must be warm tomorrow. And you must dress warmly," he said nervously.
"Never mind, doctor. You may go away now. I do not need any medicine. My cousin makes me better. When I go outside, a very strong boy I know can push my chair," said Colin.
"Who is this boy?" asked the doctor. "He"s Dickon!" said Mary.
The doctor smiled. Everyone knew Dickon. "Well, if Dickon goes with you it will be all right."
When the doctor left he went straight to Mrs. Medlock. "Sarah, I don"t believe it. You were right. That little girl has tamed him, like you tame a wild animal! I didn"t have to give him any sleeping pills, or do anything for him."
"I know. I"m very relieved," said Mrs. Medlock.
After a while, Mary left Colin and went to the garden, where she worked happily with Dickon for hours. They had agreed that tomorrow was to be the day of the adventure – if the sun shone.
