“If tha’ goes round that way tha’ll come to
th’ gardens,” she said, pointing to a gate in
a wall of shrubbery. “There’s lots o’ flowers in summer-time,

“One of th’ gardens is locked up.
No one has been in it for ten years.”

“Why?” asked Mary in spite of herself.
Here was another locked door added to
the hundred in the strange house.
