26、Lionel Wallace told me that the first time he saw the door in the wall, he was five years of age.

“I remember it was autumn. My mother was dead, and my father was busy. I spent a lot of time on my own without my governess(管家). I can’t remember exactly where I was when I saw the door in the wall. I was in the poorest part of town, but behind that green door was an amazing garden. What was strange was that I felt l knew the place. It was like coming home. And then a little girl of my own age came up to me. We walked together through the garden. Monkeys came up and played with us. I was a lonely child and now. I had playmates.

And then a woman came and took me into a large room. She opened a large book for me to see. The pages were full of pictures in which I saw my mother and the street we lived on. Finally, there was a picture of me in the poor street with its small, dirty shops. I was crying because l was not with my new friends and couldn’t find the way back to them. I realized I wasn’t looking at a page in the book. I was bark in that street, alone and unhappy.

When I got home, my governess was very angry with me for being so late. She told my father and he that punished me. I tried to explain but they didn’t believe me. My father said I was too imaginative and took all my books away.”

I asked Lionel if he tried to find the door again. “No,” he said. “I had no chance. My governess was with me all the time. Then one day, when I was looking for a different way to school, I found the green door again. I was so excited that I told one of the boys   named Hopkins. And he told the other boys.

Later, I found it three more times, but I didn’t stop to open it because I was going to meet my girlfriend. I was more interested in seeing her than in the door. I decided to come back to the door another day. But the door was not there.”
