The Secret Garden Page #2

Tomorrow?

No. He'll be gone tomorrow.

After the mistress died ten years ago...

... Lord Craven wouldn't see people.

There's nobody to ease his sorrow.

He spends most of his time

away from home now.

Poor man.

They say he's cursed.

Better put your sweater on.

It's cold outside.

But I've got no one to play with.

No one to play with?

Let me out of here.

Dickon, my brother...

...goes up on the moor

by himself for hours.

That's how he made friends

with all his animals.

Who?

Dickon...

...me younger brother.

Pull it down!

You have no idea

how curious he is about you.

What do you think you're doing?

There you are!

I wondered where you'd gone.

What do you mean?

You knew perfectly well where I was.

Your scarf, miss.

There.

Thou is ready to go out now.

I can't see.

To get to the gardens...

...you must go through there...

...then around the outside of the house.

Run along now. Have fun.

What's beyond there?

Another garden?

Where's the door?

You there!

- Where's the door to that other garden?

- What?

The one with all the ivy.

I didn't see a door.

There isn't one.

There has to be a door somewhere.

No one's been inside that place

for ten years.

Why?

Why?

Because when she died, the master

gave orders to shut it up forever.

Who died?

My aunt died.

It was her garden, wasn't it?

Look at me.

Answer me, you!

It's revolting how these people

behave toward me.

Of course...

...orders couldn't keep him out.

He's the only one goes in there nowadays.

If you know the way...

...show me.

Who's there?

He hates it.

Why does Lord Craven hate her garden?

- We're not supposed to talk about it.

- Why not?

I've got a present for you.

Mother sent it over to you.

What's it for?

You mean, all they've got is

elephants and tigers in India?

They've not got skipping ropes?

Come here.

Watch.

Now, you try.

Thank you, Martha. Thank your mother.

You are strange.

If you'd been any other child...

...you'd have given me a kiss.

- Do you want me to kiss you?

What's that?

Go on now, Miss Mary.

Go, go.

I've never skipped before.

Well, he's impressed.

Cheeky little beggar. Look at him.

What about him?

I can't think why, but...

...he's decided to make friends with thee.

He has?

I've never had any friends.

That I believe.

Show me.

Please show me the way in.

Thank you, robin.

I need more... Martha!

I need more plasters! More towels!

Did you see what I found, pretty robin?

You're getting on well enough

with that this morning.
