The secret garden — Chapter Thirteen Colin

　　Mary felt a little worried. "Colin, what will Mrs. Medlock do if she found out that I was here?" she asked.

　　"She will do what I tell her to do. I will tell her I want you to come and talk to me every day. I"m glad you came," answered Colin.

　　"So am I. I"ll come as often as I can," said Mary. "But...I m going to be busy, you know. I have to find that garden door."

　　"Yes, of course. You can tell me about it afterwards."

　　Now Mary was feeling sleepy herself. "I"ve been here along time," she said. "You must feel sleepy. Should I go away now?"

　　"I wish I could fall asleep before you left me," said Colin, a little shyly.

　　"Close your eyes, and I"ll sing you an Indian song my Ayi used to sing to me," said Mary. Somehow, she didn"t want him to be awake and alone when she left. She took his hand gently and sang softly.

　　"That is nice," he said, very sleepy. Soon, his large gray eyes were closed and Mary could see he was sleeping deeply. She took her candle and left the room as softly as a ghost.
