Mary Lennox has the sort of voice that tends to be very easily audible. Even at great distances. No matter how much you might wish it wasn't.

It's part of her charm.

Therefore, when she announces, "Colin Craven, I know you are not asleep, so you need not bother pretending!" before pushing his door open and marching inside, there's really no possible way that Colin hasn't heard every word she's said.
