The secret garden — Chapter Ten Dickon

　　Dickon"s blue eyes grew bigger and bigger. "Ahhhh!" he said with pity and understanding. "Where is it?" he whispered.

　　Mary got up at once. She was feeling a little like the old Mary -- sour and angry -- but at the same time very worried and upset. "I"ll show you," she said.

　　Mary took Dickon to the garden wall. She lifted the thick vines and showed him the door. She was careful to make sure no one was around.

　　When they passed through the garden door, Mary said, "This is the place. It"s a secret garden, and I"m the only one who wants it to be alive."

　　Dickon looked around and around him.

　　"It"s a strange, pretty place!" he whispered. "It"s like a place in a dream."
