They opened this window in order to see the garden better.

A fresh and delightful breeze came in immediately, which the children enjoyed very much.
The breeze, however, in drawing through the house, shut all the doors which the children had left open, with a loud noise, and then having no longer any egress, it ceased to come in.

The air seemed suddenly to become calm; the children stood for some time at the window, looking out at the garden, and at the pond, and the mountains beyond.
At length they shut the window again, and went to the door at which they had entered, and found it shut fast.

They could not open it, for there was now no one to push upon the outside.

Mary Bell laughed.
Bella looked very much frightened.
"What shall we do ?" said she.
