The secret garden — Chapter Thirteen Colin

　　Colin thought for a moment. "I never had a secret before," he said. "It might be nice."

　　"If you don"t tell, I feel sure I can find out how to enter the garden. We could find a nice boy to push you in your chair, and we could go there alone. And then, perhaps, we can go and plant some seeds, and make the garden come alive again. I think it must be almost dead now, but maybe we could make some flowers grow."

　　"That sounds nice," said Colin softly. He was feeling very sleepy and comfortable. "I wouldn"t mind being outside, if I was in a secret place where no one could see me. Here, I am sleepy. Sit beside me and tell me what you think the garden might look like."

　　So Mary sat beside Colin, and told him about what trees and bushes might be inside the garden, and how many birds might build their nests there, because it was safe. She pretended she"d never seen the garden before. Then she to1d him about the robin and Ben Weatherstaff. Colin enjoyed listening to Mary talk, and his eyes began to close. He felt peaceful and calm, for the first time in a long while.
