The Secret Garden

CHAPTER XIII
33/35

"Sometimes I don't like to see her looking at me.

She smiles too much when I am ill and miserable.

"She would do as I told her to do," he answered.

"And I should tell her that I wanted you to come here and talk to me every day.

I am glad you came." "So am I," said Mary.

"I will come as often as I can, but"-- she hesitated--"I shall have to look every day for the garden door." "Yes, you must," said Colin, "and you can tell me about it afterward." He lay thinking a few minutes, as he had done before, and then he spoke again.
"I think you shall be a secret, too," he said.
