THE SECRET GARDEN

From the summary on the back cover:

Mary was all alone. No one left to take care of the spoilt little brat... she finds Colin [God] ... the two grow stronger ... All of this happened in "The Secret Garden" which was discovered and rejuvenated into the gorgeous garden it was ten years back [billions of years back]. But will Mr. Craven [f. PF, WF, NL, Sw. Viv., Kr. & their gang of Nazis] lock it up again? [stop  the human race from becoming immortal again?] [IMPOSSIBLE. - G]

CHAPTER 14: A Young Rajah

"Eh! Miss Mary!" she said half crying. "You'll get me in trouble. I never told you nothing about him [Him] - but you'll get me in trouble. I shall lose my place and what'll mother do!"

"You won't lose your place," said Mary. "He was glad I came. We talked and talked and he [He] said he [He] was glad I came. I asked him [Him] if I should go away and he [He] made me stay. He asked me questions and I sat on a big footstool and talked to him about India and about the robin and gardens."

Martha fairly gasped with amazement.

"I can scarcely believe you!" she protested. "It's as if you walked straight into a lion's den. If he'd been like he is most times he'd have thrown himself into one of his tantrums and roused the house. He won't let strangers look at him."

"He let me look at him. I looked at him all the time and he looked at me. We stared!" said Mary.

"The world's coming to an end!" gasped Martha.

"What is the matter with him?" asked Mary.

"Nobody knows for sure and certain," said Martha. Mr. Craven just raved..."

"I think he's a very spoiled boy," said Mary.

"He's the worst one as ever was but you were no less spoiled when you first arrived," said Martha.

"Come in," he [He] said. "I've been thinking about you all morning. Why do you look at me like that?" he [He] asked her. "What are you thinking about?"

"I am thinking about two things."

"What are they? Sit down and tell me."

"This is the first one," said Mary, sitting herself on the big stool. "Once in India I saw a boy who was a Rajah. He had rubies and emeralds and diamonds stuck all over him. He spoke to his [His] people just as you [You] spoke to Martha. Everybody had to do everything he [He] told them - in a minute. I think they would have been killed if they hadn't."

"I shall make you tell me [Me] about Rajahs presently," he [He] said, "but first tell me what the second thing was."

"I was thinking," said Mary, "how different you [You] are from Dickon." [Dickon/Dickens/ghost writer Eve/Mary?]

"Who is Dickon?" he said. "What a funny name!"

"He is Martha's brother. He is twelve years old," she explained. "He [She] can charm foxes and squirrels and birds just as the natives in India charm snakes. He [She] plays a very soft tune on a pipe and they come and listen."

Colin lay back on his cushion and was still, as if he were thinking. And there was quite a long silence. Perhaps they were both of them thinking strange things children do not usually think.
