The Secret Garden Ch. 9-11 GapFill

It was the ____________________ , most ____________________ - looking place any one could imagine . The high walls which shut it in were covered with the leafless stems of climbing roses which were so thick that they were ____________________ together . Mary Lennox knew they were roses because she had seen a great many roses in ____________________ . All the ground was covered with grass of a wintry brown and out of it grew ____________________ of bushes which were surely rose - bushes if they were alive . There were numbers of ____________________ roses which had so spread their ____________________ that they were like little trees .

There were other trees in the ____________________ , and one of the things which made the place look ____________________ and ____________________ was that climbing roses had run all over them and swung down long ____________________ which made light swaying curtains , and here and there they had caught at each other or at a far - reaching branch and had crept from one tree to another and made ____________________ ____________________ of themselves . There were neither leaves nor roses on them now and Mary did not know whether they were dead or alive , but their thin gray or brown ____________________ and sprays looked like a sort of ____________________ ____________________ spreading over everything , walls , and trees , and even brown grass , where they had fallen from their fastenings and run along the ground . It was this hazy tangle from tree to tree which made it all look so ____________________ . Mary had thought it must be different from other gardens which had not been left all by themselves so long ; and indeed it was different from any other place she had ever seen in her ____________________ .
