The narrow passage ended in a round arch fringed with ivy and creepers. The children passed through the arch into a narrow river whose banks were of stone, moss-covered. Trees growing on the top of the bank arched across and the sunlight came through in changing patches of brightness. The path, which was of green-grey stones and at the end of it was another round arch, quite dark inside, above which were rose rocks and grass and bushes.
"It’s like the outside of a railway tunnel," said Jimmy.
"It might be the entrance to an enchanted castle," said Kathleen.
At the dark arch they stopped.
"There are steps down," said Gerald.
Very slowly and carefully they went down the steps. Gerald struck a match when the last step was found to have no edge and to be in fact the beginning of a passage turning to the left.
"This," said Jimmy, "might take us back to the road."
"Or under it," said Gerald, "we’ve come down eleven steps."
They went on, following Gerald, who went very slowly for fear, as he explained, of steps. The passage was very dark.
Then came a glimmer of daylight that grew and grew and presently ended in another arch that looked out over a scene so like a picture out of a book about Italy that everyone’s breath was taken away, and they simply walked forward silent and staring. A short avenue of cypresses led, winding as it went, to a marble terrace that lay broad and white in the sunlight. The children, blinking, leaned their arms on the flat balustrade and gazed.
Immediately below them was a lake with swans and an island with willow trees, and among the trees gleamed the white figures of statues. Against a hill to the left was a round white building with pillars and to the right a waterfall came tumbling down among mossy stones to splash into the lake. Steps went from the terrace to the water and other steps to the green lawns beside it. Away a cross the grassy slopes deer were feeding and in the distance was an enormous house of grey stone, like nothing the children had ver seen before.
"It is an enchanted castle," said Gerald.
"There aren’t any enchanted castles," said Jimmy, "you ought to know that."
"Well, anyway, I’m going to explore," said Gerald. "You needn’t come if you don’t want to."
The others followed. There never was such a garden—out of a picture or a fairy tale. They passed quite close to the deer, who only raised their heads to look and did not seem startled at all. After a Long stretch of grass, they came into a rose garden bordered with thick hedges.
"I know we shall meet a gardener in a minute and he’ll ask what we’re doing here, and then what shall we say?" Kathleen asked.
"We’ll say we’ve lost our way, and it will be quite true," said Gerald.
When they came out of the last arch the children were silent because______.
