Meaning of “I had to try myself at the same…”
Colin explicitly adds his own effort to the encouragement he received, keeping agency and practice inside the novel’s language of 'Magic.'
Where does it come from?
The Secret Garden (1911), Chapter XXIII, “Magic.” Immediately after recalling Mary’s encouragement, Colin says that he had to try himself at the same time. The line keeps effort inside the novel’s fictional experiment/Magic rhetoric and is not clinical guidance.
Why the local voice matters
Colin adds his own effort while recalling the attempt to stand.
