The Secret Garden Page #8

Synopsis: When cholera takes the parents of Mary Lennox, she is shipped from India to England to live with her Uncle Craven. Archibald Craven's house is dark and drafty, with over 100 rooms built on the edge of the moors. Mary finds that her Uncle does not wish to see her, which is fine with Mary as she herself is rude and spoiled. While walking the gardens the next day, Mary notices that there is a area in the garden surrounded with a high stone wall and no doorway. Dickon, brother of a housemaid, tells her of the garden behind the wall. By the path, the raven unearths the hidden key so that Mary and Dickon are able to enter the walled garden to find it overgrown and neglected. Inside the house, she finds that Archibald has a son named Colin, who is crippled and as spoiled as she. Together these three work to make the secret garden their own world.

I beg your pardon ?

Why it's as beautifully kept a garden as I've ever seen

What ?

You saw it ?

Of course . . there was a ladder . . I climbed the ladder

You're lying . . .

I don't know what's the matter with you Mr. Craven . . . but it's your garden . . .

. . and I tell you it's magnificent !

I tell you . Nobody has been in it . for ten years !

Nobody's been in it for ten years . . . . . . . .

Ben Weatherstaff

Sir !

Get me Ben Weatherstaff !

He's somewhere in the grounds

Yes Sir

Never mind, that's all

I'm selling the house Mr. Gromlet to escape if possible . . the temptation of madness

It would seem that the Gods have arranged for me . . one last chance

I have resisted as long as I can

Mr. Craven Sir

Get away !

You must not go in there . .

Get away or I'll kill you !

The raven Dickon . .

I think it's Ben . . .

Lock the gate !

You !!

Please please Mr. Craven, we were just leaving .

Get away from me !! You can't do it again !

Please . . please Mr. Craven !

Colin !

Colin ?

Father .

It's our garden . . . . . . . please ! . .

Please don't hurt our garden . .

Papa !

oh . . . Colin . . .

You should have come sooner . . you should've seen the lilacs

Thou may see them next year, Sir

They'll be better by far . .

Next year ?

Colin will be helping us prune them . .

Thar may help us too . .
