Come To My Garden

Beltane Manor, the country manor where Lady Karissa lived with Lord Andrew Charles and their two children was nestled out in the foothills between Norfolk and Bedford Territory on Star Base 12

Beltane Manor, the country manor where Lady Karissa lived with Lord Andrew Charles and their two children was nestled out in the foothills between Norfolk and Bedford Territory on Star Base 12.

Beltane Manor was a wedding present to Lady Karissa on her wedding day as it was only one of three things she asked for.

With the help of Lord Richard William Carey, Lord Andrew Charles was able to find the right manor for Lady Karissa to live in as she didn't want to live out at Norfolk Estate. It possessed far too many ancestral ghosts.

Shortly after she gave birth to Lord Edward Andrew, Lord Andrew Charles and Lady Karissa moved out to their new manor.

The country manor was only owned by one old couple and they wanted to retire and they sold the country manor to Lord Andrew Charles Howard and he presented it to his Duchess on their wedding day.

It was a magnificent building and it came fully furnished with exquisite furnishings.

The best thing that came with the manor was a garden surrounded by a high ivory covered wall which Lady Karissa named it "The Secret Garden" taken from the Frances Hodgson Burnett Novel "The Secret Garden."

Lady Karissa explains why she named it "The Secret Garden," as it was Lady Lily Craven's garden given to her by her beloved Lord Archibald Craven, but the garden was blamed in the Georgian Year of 1900 of claiming Lady Lily's life."

Lady Karissa explains, " Lady Lily loved her garden and on a October day in 1900 she decided to go out to her garden and she was nine month pregnant but she had always been a Tom-boy and she liked to climb trees and she had climbed the same old tree time and time out in her garden and how could she know the tree limb was weakened and when she was sitting on it. It broke and she fell to the ground, but she didn't think she was hurt and she picked herself up."

"How could Lady Lily know it would bring on her labor and how could she know that it would cause her to lose her for the love of her only child, Lord Colin." Lady Karissa explains.

"Lady Lily passes away a few days leaving Lord Archibald with a newborn son, Lord Colin and he is angry with the world. He is angry with his son, Lord Colin, he is angry with his God for taking his beloved Lady Lily away from him and he is still even more angry at the garden that started it all and he locks up the garden until it is rediscovered by his niece, Mary Lennox." Lady Karissa states.

"Lord Archibald can't bear to live out at his country manor of Misselthwaite Manor out in Yorkshire, England in the Moors and he leaves every spring and summer, and returns only in the autumn and winter." Lady Karissa states.

"All of this time, Mary is helping his son, Lord Colin to get well and she has a worse temper than he does and she screams at him and tells him he is lazy." Lady Karissa states.

"With the help of Dickon Sowerby and Mary. They take Colin out into his mother's garden and he becomes well and he learns to walk." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard William Carey.

"Lord Archibald while sleeping in The Swiss Alps has a dream and Lady Lily appears to him and he calls out " Where are you Lilia's?"

"Archie, Archie, I am out in the garden." Lilia's calls back and he wakes up and his gentleman. Mr. Pritchard hands him a letter from Mrs Sowerby who helped to bring Colin into the world in 1900 and she asks him to return." Lady Karissa tells them and "he journeys back to Misselthwaite Manor and when he is told that Colin is out in the garden with Mary and Dickon. He heads for the garden to see his beloved son, Lord Colin well and playing with Mary and Dickon and he runs to his father and says ''Look at me father, I am all well and I can walk."

"It was my mother's garden that made me well." Colin tells his father " I am going to live forever and forever and make you proud of me." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard William.

"Lord Archibald promises never to lock up the garden again and he realizes that the garden did good as it restored his son back to life." Lady Karissa states.

Lord Archibald learned to love again and Lady Lily asked him a long time ago to let her go and learn how to love her in a new way since they had departed." Lady Karissa tells them.

"The garden is never shut up and years later Lord Colin and Lady Mary are married out in the garden in 1920 after World War I." Lady Karissa explains.

Lady Karissa loves her garden and she takes her two children out into the garden where they can run around and be children but she never leaves their sight.

One thing that Lord Andrew Charles didn't know about the garden was that it had a secret entrance that Lord Richard William Carey knew about as he knew the previous owners.

Lord Richard William uses it to visit Lady Karissa and they sit in the garden and they know that they are destined to be together but they don't when Lady Karissa sings an Old Carpenter's Song to Lord Richard William.

"Our day will come

And we'll have everything

We'll share the joy

Falling in love can bring

No one can tell me

That I'm too young to know

I love you so

And you love me

Our day will come

If we just wait a while

No tears for us

Think love and wear a smile

Our dreams have magic

Because we'll always stay

In love this way

Our day will come

Our day will come

Our day will come."

"I am a patient man, Lady Karissa, and I will wait for you to fulfill your promise to Lord Andrew Charles. I realize that Lady Elizabeth is too young to govern Norfolk Territory."

"I know you promised to give Lord Andrew Charles three more children." Lord Richard Williams tells her.

"We will have our children, Lord Richard William, by hook, or crook,." Lady Karissa tells him.

"First things, Lord Anthony Christopher and Lady Elizabeth must grow up along with their siblings." Lady Karissa states.

"I am hoping that Lord  Anthony Christopher has a brother, as I am hoping that Lady Elizabeth has a sister to play with." Lady Karissa exclaims.

"Who knows what our two other children will be until they are born and I won't subject myself to another amniocentesis test. Lord Andrew Charles has a son and I have my daughter and I don't care what the gender of my other three children are." Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard William.

"I will love them regardless of what their gender is." Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard William.

Lady Karissa and Lord Richard William watch Lord  Anthony and Lady Elizabeth play out in the garden at Beltane Manor.
