The bulbsin the secret garden must have been much astonished. Such nice clear places were made round them that theyhad all the breathing space they wanted, and really,if Mistress Mary had known it, they began to cheer upunder the dark earth and work tremendously. The such and sometimes did not even answerMary's questions except by a grunt, but this morning hesaid more than usual. He stood up and rested one hobnailedboot on the top of his spade while he looked her over. How long has beun couldget at them and warm them, and when the rain came downit could reach them at once, so they began to feel verymuch alive. Mary was an odd, determined little person, and now shehad something interesting to be determined about,she was very much absorbed, indeed. She worked and dugand pulled up weeds steadily, only becoming more pleasedwith her work every hour instead of tiring of it. It seemed to her like a fascinating sort of play.
She nike shox found many more of the sproumbered what Martha hadsaid about the snowdrops by the thousands, and aboutbulbs spreading and making new ones. These had been leftto themselves for ten years and perhaps they had spread,like the snowdrops, into thousands. She wondered how longit would be before they showed that they were flowers. Sometimes she stopped digging to look at the garden andtry to imagine what it would be like when it was coveredwith thousands of lovely things in bloom. During that weekof sunshine, she became more intimate with Ben Weatherstaff. She surprised him several times by seeming to startup beside him as mbt shoes if she sprang out of the earth. The truth was that she was afraid that he would pick uphis tools and go away if he saw her coming, so she alwayswalked toward him as silently as possible. But, in fact,he did not object to her as strongly as he had at first. Perhaps he was secretly rather flattered by her evidentdesire for his elderly company.
Then, also, she was morecivil than she had been. He did nting pale green points thanshe had ever hoped to find. They seemed to be starting upeverywhere and each day she was sure she found tiny new ones,some so tiny that they barely peeped above the earth. There were so many that she remeot know that when shefirst saw him she spoke to him as she would have spokento a native, and had not known that a cross, sturdy oldYorkshire man was not accustomed to salaam to his masters,and be merely commanded by them to mbt uk do things. rt like . robin, he said to her one morningwhen he lifted his head and saw her standing by him. I never knows when I shall see thee or which side llcome from.He's friends with me now, said Mary. That's like him, snapped Ben Weatherstaff. Makin' upto . women folk just for vanity . flightiness. There's nothin' he wouldn't do for . sake o' showin' off . flirtin' his tailfeathers. He's as full o' pride as an egg's full o' meat.He very seldom talked men here? he jerked out.
