Colin sat up in bed and looked very interested. 'What door? Who locked it? Where's the key? I want to see it. Ill make the servants tell me where it is. They'll take me there and you can come too.'
'Oh, please! Don't - don't do that!' cried Mary.
Colin stared at her. 'Don't you want to see it?'
'Yes, but if you make them open the door, it will never be a secret again. You see, if only we know about it, if we - if we can find the key, we can go and play there every day. We can help the garden come alive again. And no one will know about i t - except us!'
'I see,' said Colin slowly. 'Yes, I'd like that. It'll be our secret. I've never had a secret before.'
'And perhaps,' added Mary cleverly, 'we can find a boy to push you in your wheelchair, if you can't walk, and we can go there together without any other people. You'll feel better outside. I know I do.'
'I'd like that,' he said dreamily. 'I think I'd like fresh air, in a secret garden.'
Then Mary told him about the moor, and Dickon, and Ben Weatherstaff, and the robin, and Colin listened to it all with great interest. He began to smile and look much happier.
'I like having you here,' he said. 'You must come and see me every day. But I'm tired now.'
