Detailed explanation-1: -Why did Mary refer to Dickon as a “wooden fairy?” He was too good to be true, and she was afraid he would disappear when she left him.
Detailed explanation-2: -He’s an all-around great person who loves his homeland on the moors and seems to have a natural gift for looking after all living things-be they people, plants, or animals. Dickon may not be as central a figure in The Secret Garden as either Mary or Colin, but he’s at the novel’s emotional heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mary remembers the rhyme that Basil sang at her to tease her. She asks Dickon about flowers that look like bells and recites “Mistress Mary” to him. Frowning, she says that Basil and his siblings were more “contrary” than she was.
Detailed explanation-4: -Then Mary did a strange thing. She leaned forward and asked him a question she had never dreamed of asking any one before. And she tried to ask it in Yorkshire because that was his language, and in India a native was always pleased if you knew his speech. “Does tha’ like me?” she said.
