*************************************************************************************************
Ten years have passed since the day Mary, Colin, and Dickon shared the magic of their garden.
Mary left her uncle's estate six years ago to attend a boarding school in France, and her cousin Colin went to a boarding school in London the same year, however had returned two years ago. Dickon stayed and went to a school near Yorkshire.
It was a sunny morning when Mary Lennox, now a young woman of twenty years of age was packing her luggage for her voyage back to her uncle's estate. About few hours later, she foung herself on a ship that would take her back to Yorkshire.
She went into her quarters and laid her belongings on the floor and sat herself in a chair.
She started to think about the first time she and Dickon went into the garden to plant some seeds. She thought about the time when Dickon and herself looking at each other, sitting on a swing together and blushed, thinking how cute Dickon looked. She thoight about how she and he loved each other then, and how much jealous Colin was and smiled.
'I wonder how they've changed?' she asked herself and added, 'How my beloved Dickon change?' Dickon was three years older than Mary, so he must be twenty-three years old now. She wondered if he'd gotten married.
She stepped off the ship and looked around her and found herself in a place she didn't know, because everything had changed.
She got herself a cab which would take her to her uncle's.
The only thing that hadn't changed were the moors. Which she was happy to know.
When she finally arrived at the estate, she went straight up to her room to unpack, because she didn't want to bother anybody, since it was quite early.
She looked over the room. It was arranged so perfectly. The room had very cheerful atmosphere to it. It looked very different from the last time she spent there. The wall was painted in her favorite color, royal blue with flower boarder trimmed with gold etchings. She was impressed.
She opened the closet to hang her clothes, she found it filled with beautiful dresses and tailored suits, which were her size.
When she was done admiring the room and everything else in it, she looked at her watch and decided to go down to the kitchen to surprise her favorite person, the maid.
Mary opened the kitchen door and saw her friend, arranging food on the plates.
"Martha!" She said.
Martha turned around and she alomost dropped the plate she was holding.
"Who can this be? Me can't believe me eyes! Is this mistress Mary?"
"You know very well it's me, how are you?" She said as they hugged each other.
"Me thought tha is coming tomorrow?"
Yes, but I took the earlier one. My the way, how's everyone? All well, I hope."
"They are all good, me thinks." Martha answered.
"Dickon would love to see thee."
"Dickon, I've missed him so. Where is he?"
"Me hopes he's in tha garden."
"Is he?" She beamed.
"Yea. Well, go on." She urged.
Mary ran up to the garden and stopped at the gate, which was opened.
She peaked in and was met by a glorious sight.
It was simply breathtaking.
Flowers blooming everywhere, since it was spring.
When she looked faraway, she could see someone standing near the statue, cleaning it.
She walked slowly and quitely toward the person.
The young man turned around, however since she was hiding behind a tree, he didn't see her.
She didn't recognized him at first, however when looked at his sky blue eyes, she knew it was Dickon.
