The secret garden — Chapter Fifteen Trouble in the night
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
TROUBLE IN THE NIGHT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mary had been up very early that morning, so she went to sleep early. However, she went wakened in the night by horrible sounds. She jumped out of bed. What was it? The next second she knew. It was Colin. Doors were opening, and people were running up and down the halls. He was screaming and crying in a horrible way. It sounded like he was dying, or going crazy.
"It"s got to stop!" said Mary. She put her hands over her ears. "It has to! How awful it sounds." Mary understood why everyone gave Colin what he wanted. They didn"t want to hear him. The terrible sounds frightened her, but they also made her angry. How dare Colin act this way!
"He should be stopped! Someone ought to beat him until he stops!" she cried.
Suddenly the door opened and Colin"s nude ran into the room. "Can you make him stop, Miss Mary?" she cried. "He"ll hurt himself, screaming and crying this way. He"ll make himself sick. He likes you. Please come and try, like a good girl."
