Objectives[]
- Talk to Mrs. Sackville
- Find a Lily Bulb
- Give Mrs. Sackville the Lily Bulb
- Find the Secret Garden
In-Game Description[]
Poor thing. She seems quite upset. I hope no one finds out she's a Downer. Maybe I should see what's bothering her.
Poor Mrs. Sackville. She does miss her Lilies. And I think her friend, too. Violet, was it?
Wasn't there a Violet wossname at the Shelly Street garage? Odd woman. She was a lady mechanic! Rode a motorcycle!
Hang on. There's lilies in the Garden District. Percy was always going on about them. I could dig up some bulbs for her.
Bulbs! Or rhizomes. They're rhizomes, aren't they. What's the difference, anyway?
These look almost edible. Percy said you could eat them, and he was never wrong about plants.
It would be rather awful of me, though, wouldn't it. Poor Mrs. Sackville's last chance to remember her, ah, friend.
She's got a secret garden! I could go have myself a decent salad for once.
This place is fantastic! I never could get anything to grow. That was Percy's department.
Walkthrough[]

Name | Talk to Mrs. Sackville | Audio |
---|---|---|
Mrs. Sackville | Oh, sorry, sorry dearie. Please don't tell anyone. I promise I'll stop crying! I'll take my Joy, I promise. | |
Arthur | Don't worry, I'll keep your secret. | |
Mrs. Sackville | I miss them. I miss them so. | |
Arthur | I miss them, too. | |
Mrs. Sackville | You used to grow lilies? | |
Arthur | Lilies? I thought you meant the-- lilies? | |
Mrs. Sackville | I overwatered them last year. Killed them. And I can't find fresh new bulbs anywhere! We used to grow them together, Violet and I. Before her husband got so jealous. I've one of the last proper vegetable gardens in all of Hamlyn, but no one will trade me lily bulbs! | |
Arthur | Well, you never know. Maybe some will turn up. | |
Mrs. Sackville | Would you like some tea? | |
Arthur | Thanks but ... I must be going. | |
Name | Give Mrs. Sackville the Lily Bulb | Audio |
Mrs. Sackville | Oh, goodness. You're too kind. Oh, look at these. Violet would love these so. You should visit my garden. It's lovely this time of year. And winter is coming, you know. I can't thank you enough. Wait. Here's some beef jerky. I make it myself, when I can get the sugar and the salt. And the meat, obviously. It's not really beef, but once it's jerky, who can tell? |
