Lady Mary stood in front of the bay-window in their compartment. She looked
out of the bay-window and from it. It looked out in the front yard of Missethwaite Manor and she could see Lily's Garden from
there.
Lord Collin entered their compartment and noticed the Lady Mary was looking out of the bay-window
and said, "My Dear Mary, what are you thinking about?"
"I am thinking about how fast summer comes and goes, and autumn does not stay around for
long because winter is the strongest of the months up here in Yorkshire." Mary said.
"Yes that is true winter is the longest month." Collin said.
"I have some good news to share with you." Mary said.
Collin looks up and asks."What the good news?"
"My dear Collin I am two months pregnant and our first child will be born in late March or early
April." Mary said.
"This is wonderful news and what names have we picked out." Collin asked.
"We have picked out if it is a girl, Lady Elizabeth Lily Rose and Lord Collin Harry Albert for
a boy." Mary said.
They are fine names for our children." Collin said happily.
"Collin it is a beautiful day will you join me in the garden?" Mary asks
"I have some work to catch up on, but I will join you in the garden for mid-afternoon tea and
scones." Collin said.
"Please don't be long. I will be watching for you." Mary says
"I promise I will do my work as quickly as I can so I can join you." Collin said.
Mary smiles, she walks over to her wardrobe, and takes a shawl to put around her shoulders and
places her hat on her head. She walks quietly down the stairs and use the front door to let her out. she closes the door and
walks down the path that leads to Lily's Garden.
Collin and Mary renamed The Secret Garden to Lily's Garden in loving memory of Collin's late
mother, Lady Lily Craven, who first loved and tendered to the garden.
Mary smiles and remembers all the hard work that Dickon, Collin, and she put into it with the
help of Old Ben Weatherstaff. They did n't mind it was worth.
The garden retained old memories that they made a children together and the new ones they would
make as married couple and parents to each of their children.
