    Sep 30 2026

    Colin, Mary, and Dickon meticulously plan Colin’s trip to the garden to ensure no one discovers their secret. Colin commands head gardener Mr. Roach to keep staff away.

    As Dickon wheels Colin through the garden door, he is overcome by the vibrant spring life and fresh air, color rushes to Colin’s cheeks and he decides he will get well and live forever.

    Colin asks about a large dead tree (the very tree his mother fell from), but Dickon and Mary subtly distract him, and the peaceful afternoon is interrupted when Ben Weatherstaff angrily peers over the garden wall from a ladder, shouting insults at Mary for trespassing

  • Cathi Colas Audiobooks and High Horse Press Presents Episode 10 of A LITTLE PRINCESS by Frances Hodgson-Burnett
    Sep 25 2026

    After Sara wakes up to find her beautiful room with the crackling fire, Becky and Sara drink tea and eat good food and basically have a jolly good time.

    Lavinia and Jessie gossip about what's happened at school, and everyone expects that Sara will look very ill and unhappy when she comes downstairs the next morning.

    But in fact, Sara trots down all happy and healthy, which just makes the grumpy Miss Minchin even nastier and more mean-spirited, because she is literally the worst person in the world.

    Sara’s plight worsens as the cook tells her that she's not allowed to have anything to eat but some bread. Ermengarde gets a care package from her aunt and brings it to the attic. She, Sara, and Becky have a party. Finally, some food! Not only that, Ram Daas sneaks over when the girls are sleeping and redecorates the attic.
