CHAPTER VII

The Key Of The Garden

1. One day, when Mary opened her eyes, she looked surprised at the moor. The rainstorms had ended and the sky was softly blue and Marta said to Mary “It’s a long way off yet, but the springtime is coming”.

2. Marta speaks about how is the spring in Yorkshire. In it there are blossoms and hundreds of butterflies fluttering, bees humming, skylarks singing and a lot of others animals as rabbits, sheep, ponies and foxes. Martha tells Mary that she will want to get out at sunrise and live out on it all day like Dickon does.

3. Mary wants to know all the places that Martha has spoken and she also wants to know Dickon because she has never seen him.

4. Mary felt lonelier than ever when Marta went.

5. Mary went out into the garden as quickly as possible and she ran round and round the fountain flower garden ten times and she counted the times carefully and she felt better.

6. Mary walked away slowly thinking she had begun to like the garden, robin, Dickon, Martha's mother and Martha as well, and she that seemed a good many people to like.

7. Mary heard a chirp; she knew that robin had followed her. Mary said him "You do remember me!!"

8. Robin was so pretty and so grand that it was really as if he were showing her how important and like a human person a robin could be. Mary was happy.

9. At moment, Mary saw something almost buried in the newly turned soil, it was an old key which looked as if it had been buried a long time.

10. Mary thought that perhaps it has been buried for ten years and it is the key to the garden!
