6: The Final Magic
And so Mary, Dickon, Colin, and old Ben worked together in the secret garden every time the weather permitted it, which was almost every day, and as that glorious spring moved on towards summer a woman in a busy little cottage far over the moor sat down to write a letter to a certain address in distant Europe ... which was to have important consequences.
