I planned not to tell you until we were really in the shops and ready to purchase, but I thought it too good news to keep longer," and Rose smiled down at her little friend. "Two guineas to buy clothes!" Anne's voice sounded as if such good fortune was almost beyond belief. "And I can have a hat, and shoes and stockings, since my own were left behind in the wigwam?" she said questioningly.
You know she hates me, and will disgrace me in the eyes of the girls." "And you richly deserve it, Eleanor," replied Grace, "but if you produce Anne's costumes at once, I'll agree to say nothing. Hurry, for every second is precious." "I can't get them," wailed Eleanor. "What shall I do?" "Where are they?" asked Grace, with compressed lips. "At 'Heartsease," said Eleanor, and burst into tears.
A little flush crept into Anne's brown cheeks. "I guess Amanda didn't mean to," she said. The clerk was waiting patiently, and Mrs. Freeman now begged his pardon for so long delaying her purchases, and ordered enough dimity for Anne's dress.

I wish no ill-luck to any loyal gentleman in Her Majesty's service; but it is a thousand pities that thou wert not ready, now the coast is clear, with a good heavy inward cargo!
