Archie! Archie! Archie! '
'My dear! 'He jumped up.'Where are you?'
' In the garden!'called the beautiful voice. And then the dream ended. In the morning, when he woke, he remembered the dream.
'She says she's in the garden! 'he thought. 'But the door's locked and the key's buried.'
That morning he received a letter from Susan Sowerby. In it she asked him to come home, but she did not give a reason. Mr Craven thought of his dream, and decided to return to England immediately. On the long journey back to Yorkshire, he was thinking about Colin.
'I wonder how he is! I wanted to forget him, because he makes me think of his mother. He lived, and she died! But perhaps I've been wrong. Susan Sowerby says I should go home, so perhaps she thinks I can help him.'
"阿奇！阿奇！阿奇！"
"親愛(ài)的！"他跳了起來(lái)。"你在哪兒？"
"在花園里！"那美妙的聲音呼喚道。接著夢(mèng)便醒了。清晨醒來(lái)時(shí)，他記起了那個(gè)夢(mèng)。
"她說(shuō)她在花園里！"他想。"可是門(mén)鎖著，鑰匙也埋起來(lái)了。"
