HELLO WORLD! I am oh so sorry for not updating, AGAIN, in forever, but sadly, this is the last story, so you all will not have to deal with my bad updating habits. PLEASE REVIEW, and ENJOY!!!

Mary and Colin marched down the hall towards the library, looking for Henry. When they came to the door, they went in and found Henry sitting at the desk reading one of the moneys books, but he looked up when they came in.

"Oh, hello." He said. Colin walked up to him and glared at him.

"Why did you do it?" Colin asked.

Henry raised an eyebrow. "Why did I do what?"

Mary stood beside Colin. "Why did you destroy the garden?"

Henry calmly closed the book and looked at them. "Now why do you think that I would destroy some garden, hm? What motive would I have?"

Mary opened her mouth, but then closed it. She had never thought about why Henry would do it, she just knew he did it.

Henry looked at both of them, then smiled, leaned back in his chair and continued to read.

Just then, Angela burst in the door, and ran up to Henry. "Henry, did you find it? I asked the servants about it but none of them know anything about what I'm talking about."

Colin folded his arms across his chest. "What are you looking for Angela?"

Angela spun around, suddenly aware that Mary and Colin were in the room. "Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if Henry had found my, um, thing that I had lost, that's all."

Angela glanced at Henry, who was glaring at her by then.

Mary turned to Henry. "Henry, what have you been looking for? Was it something in the garden by any chance?"

Henry opened his mouth, but close it again, not sure what to say. Finally, he sighed and stood up. "All right, I'll tell you. When my father and your father made the deal, my father knew that if your father didn't keep his part of the deal, that my father would be able to take the hidden money that your father told him about."

Colin tilted his head. "What hidden money? My father doesn't have any hidden money. All his money is in the bank."

Henry looked at Colin. "I am talking about the money that your grandfather buried away in one of your gardens, hiding it away in case of an emergency."

Colin thought for a moment, then burst out laughing. Everyone stared at Colin for about 5 minutes as he continued to laugh his head off.

Finally he was able to stop, and said. "That money? One of the gardeners found that about a year ago, after my father had gone to America. I didn't know what to do with it, so I just put all the money into a savings account. I forgot about it until now, but I guess there's enough money in it to pay your father off, so you and your sister can leave."

Henry's mouth hung open, while Angela just stared at Colin. Finally, Henry and Angela slowly left the room, leaving Colin and Mary alone.

Mary turned to Colin. "Oh, Colin, why didn't you tell me about hidden money?"

Colin shrugged. "I guess I just forgot about it, it never seemed that important."

Mary smiled. "Well, I'm just glad that we don't have to live with Henry and Angela anymore, they were both getting annoying."

Colin nodded, then leaned against the desk and became very serious. "Mary, I ave not had the chance to do this, but, would you forgive me for acting foolish recently? I can't imagine what it was like to have to put up with me for so long."

Mary put her hand on Colin's shoulder. "Oh Colin, of course I forgive you, I love you."

"I love you to." Colin slowly leaned in, and kissed Mary, who, of course, kissed back.

Epilogue.

Mary sat down in the grass of the garden and started to unpack the picnic.

After Henry and Angela left, Colin was able to pay their father with the money that was hidden. After that was all settled, Mr. Carver came back from America and was now happily enjoying his home.

Mary and Colin's relationship was back to the way it was, with them both enjoying being a couple, which made Mary very happy.

When Mary was done with the picnic, she reached up to her neck and touched the necklace that was meant from Dickon, but who was given by Colin, and opened it. Mary had put a small picture of Colin and a picture of Dickon in it, to remind her of her two favorite men.

Just then, Colin came running into the garden, with a small girl in his arms.

He sat down next to Mary, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, then set the girl down between them, so they could enjoy the picnic in the once again magical garden.

The girl was their daughter, Hope.
