Mary was tired after her day in the garden so she went to bed early. Before she went to sleep, she thought about Colin and decided to go and see him after breakfast the next morning. A terrible sound woke her up in the middle of the night. It was Colin. He was crying and screaming. Then Colin's nurse came in. She looked worried.
“He’s having a tantrum(耍脾气),” she said quickly. “No one can do anything. Only you can make him calm. He likes you. Can you come?”
Mary was angry but she still went. When she arrived at Colin’s room, she ran to the bed.
“Stop!” she shouted. “Stop! I hate you! Everybody hates you!”
“I can’t stop!” he cried and cried. “I can’t!”
“You can!” shouted Mary. “You’re just having a tantrum!”
And she stamped her foot.
“I have a lump on my back,” shouted Colin. “I’m going to be a hunchback and then I’m going to die.”
And he began to cry again.
“Let me see your back!” said Mary.
The nurse, Mrs Medlock and Martha looked very worried.
Mary looked carefully at Colin’s back.
“There is no lump on your back!” she said at last.
“Do you think I can live to grow up?” he asked the nurse in a small voice.
“Yes, if you keep calm and go out in the fresh air,” the nurse replied.
“Perhaps ... perhaps I can go out with you, Mary,” Colin said. “Dickon can push my wheelchair. I really want to see Dickon, the fox and the crow.”
Colin was quiet now, so the nurse, Mrs Medlock and Martha went to bed and left Mary to stay alone with him.
“Did you find the door to the secret garden?” he asked her.
Mary looked at his tired face.
“Go to sleep now,” she said. “We can talk tomorrow.”
