Быстрей, быстрей, шептал дом, а старинные часы позади тревожно тикали. Том вышел через черный ход. Сперва он просто удивился, потом возмутился. Они сказали: "Там ничего интересного для тебя нет, Том. Там только задний двор со всяким мусором". Ничего... Только огромная лужайка и клумбы, высоченная ель и толстенные раскидистые тисы. От лужайки в глубь сада разбегаются дорожки в какой-то совсем другой мир. Том еле перевел дух от изумления. Они пытались его сюда не пустить, но это им больше не удастся. Он залезет в каждый уголок и под каждую тисовую ветку... Сад призывно и таинственно раскинулся перед ним в лунном свете.
