Dickon: "The animals tell me all their secrets."

Mary: "[pointing to the Robin] He wouldn't tell you my secret, would he?"

Dickon: "About what, Miss Mary?"

Mary: "A garden. I've stolen a garden. But it may already be dead, I don't know."

Dickon: "I'll know."

Mary: "Promise you won't tell anyone?"

Dickon: "Promise."

Mary: "No one?"

Dickon: "Not a soul."
