2 "The one on the other side of the wall," answered Mistress Mary.
3 Mary began to laugh, and as he hopped and took little flights along the wall she ran after him.
4 He twittered and chirped and hopped along the wall as if he were telling her all sorts of things.
5 She went toward the wall and found that there was a green door in the ivy, and that it stood open.
6 Fruit-trees were trained flat against the wall, and over some of the beds there were glass frames.
7 There was one part of the wall where the creeping dark green leaves were more bushy than elsewhere.
8 There were embroidered hangings on the wall, and inlaid furniture such as she had seen in India stood about the room.
9 There, she found more walls and winter vegetables and glass frames, but in the second wall there was another green door and it was not open.
10 "I believe I have taken a wrong turning again," she said, standing still at what seemed the end of a short passage with tapestry on the wall.
11 She was just thinking this when she saw that, at the end of the path she was following, there seemed to be a long wall, with ivy growing over it.
