　　CHAPTER SEVEN

　　THE KEY TO THE GARDEN

　　--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　Two days after this, the rain ended. Mary woke up and could not believe what she saw. The sky was the most beautiful blue! Mary had never known that the skies could be so blue. In India, the skies were always hot and yellow. But this sky was a deep, cool, wonderful blue, like a jewel.

　　There were tiny white clouds in the air.

　　"It"s beautiful!" cried Mary. She jumped out of bed.

　　"Yes, it"s nice at this time of year!" said Martha cheerfully. "The blue sky reminds us that spring is coming. It"s still a long way off, but it"s coming."

　　"I thought it always rained or looked dark in England," said Mary.

　　Martha laughed. "Oh,no! Yorkshire is the most beautiful place on earth, when the sun shines. Wait till you see the purple and yellow flowers growing, and smell the young grass. You"ll want to stay out on the moor forever, just like Dickon does."

　　"Could I ever get there?" asked Mary. She stared out at the moor. It seemed to go on forever.
