The Secret Garden - Chapter 21 - Ben Weatherstaff

As Colin experiences the magic of the garden, his senses are heightened and the world seems to come alive with colour, sound, and wonder. Even Dickon, no stranger to the beauty of nature, can't help but marvel at the splendour of the garden. Surrounded by blossoms, bees, and blossoming trees, the children can truly appreciate the majesty and mystery that abound in this sacred space.<br/><br/>But while the children immerse themselves in the garden's charms, they are careful to keep their voices low and avoid drawing attention to their secret hideaway. However, when Colin starts to contemplate his own transformation, his questions echo through the garden, and it seems as though their secret might just slip away.<br/><br/>And just when all seems quiet, Colin spots a man, and the air is charged with a tension that threatens to expose their secret. When Ben Weatherstaff finally reveals himself, an array of emotions—anger, disbelief, relief—play across our characters' faces as they confront him. And for the first time, Colin stands tall, challenging Ben's assumptions about him and asserting his newfound strength.
