The Secret Garden Page #5

Put on the mask.

Stop talking to me as if you were a rajah

with jewels stuck all over you.

I'll talk to you any way I please.

Where are you going?

Back outside to be with Dickon.

He tames animals like the animal charmers

in India.

He knows everything about gardens.

Does he know about my mother's garden?

- What?

- You said my mother had a garden.

How would he know about it?

It's locked. No one's allowed in there.

- I'll make them unlock it.

- No, don't do that.

Why not?

If you make them open the door like that,

if everyone knows...

...it wouldn't be a secret anymore.

Don't you see how much better it is

if it's a secret?

You have to.

Maybe you can't even keep a secret.

Master Colin, we've brought the machine

for your legs.

I don't want it.

Now, don't be like that.

You know how important it is

for your circulation.

I've got some nice, fresh flannels, too.

Your father returns today.

He won't want to see me.

Perhaps he will.

The machine. Wake up, girl!

Oh, I forgot my herbs.

- I'll get them for you.

- No, thank you.

Last time, you brought too many roots

and almost no leaves.

What are you doing down there,

Miss Mary?

Where's your mask?

If Mrs. Medlock finds out...

The world's coming to an end.

She won't let you come back.

But you're master until your father

gets home, you could make her...

Go! Just go!

She'll think I disobeyed her.

She'll fire me for sure.

Please! Go!

His Lordship's arrived! He's here!

Come along, Miss Mary.

Come along.

Miss Mary, Your Lordship.

Calm down.

Come here.

You needn't be afraid.

Come here.

My God!

Your eyes!

They're so much...

I had no idea.

Wait a moment.

They never sent me your picture.

Mother had no time

to get my picture taken.

Medlock wants me to send you

to some sort of boarding school.

Please. Let me stay.

I don't do any harm.

Harm?

What harm could you do?

There's nothing for a child here.

I don't need much.

All I need is...

Could I...?

Could I have a bit of earth?

Bit of earth?

To plant seeds in.

To make things grow.

Take your bit of earth.

Don't be foolish and expect anything

to come of it.

May I take it from anywhere

so long as it's not wanted?

Anywhere!

Well... Go! Go!

You can go.

Good-bye. Good-bye.

I'll be away until the winter.

He said I can!

I can have my bit of earth!

Who said?

My uncle. I asked him and he said "yes."

I can plant seeds anywhere I like.

Blue flowers, pink flowers...

...purple flowers, yellow flowers...
