Detailed explanation-1: -Mary replies that she wants nothing more than “a bit of earth” for her gardening. Mr. Craven is quite moved by this request, as it reminds him of his late wife’s love of gardens, and tells her that she may have any piece of land she wants, from anywhere on the manor grounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Might I, ‘’ quavered Mary, “might I have a bit of earth?” In her eagerness she did not realize how queer the words would sound and that they were not the ones she had meant to say.
Detailed explanation-3: -Craven was a skilled gardener and carefully tended her roses. On her deathbed, she asked Ben Weatherstaff to care for the roses in her absence. After her death, Mr. Craven was consumed with grief, and to try to bury the memory of his wife, he locked her garden and buried the key.
