    4 When Mary first meets Colin in the middle of the night, they have a long conversation about their
    lives.

    “Colin wanted to know how long she had been at Misselthwaite. He asked where her room was and
    what she did during the day. He made her tell him all about India and her journey back to England.
    And Mary found out lots of things about Colin, too.” (page 40)

    Write this conversation between Colin and Mary.


    Colin: So, how long have you been here at Misselthwaite?
    Mary:…

    C After Reading
    6 “Then they sat down under the tree, and the children told him [Mr Craven] their story. They told him
    how Mary and Colin had met in the middle of the night. They told him about the spring coming and
    about their great secret.” (p69)

    Imagine you are Mary and write the story that you told Mr Craven.
    It all started when I heard crying in the middle of the night…
    … and now it doesn’t have to be a secret any more!
