Fuller, in his shirt-sleeves and a broad-brimmed straw hat, was pottering about his garden with a wheelbarrow and a pair of shears. He saw her at the open door of the garden, and sang out cheerily, "Halloo, Miss Blythe! Beest early afoot this mornin'. I'm a lover o' the mornin' air myself. Theer's no time to my mind when the gardin-stuff looks half as well. The smell o' them roses is real lovely."
"Walk softly." They entered the sleeping shack, "Blythe's Bunk," and tiptoed to the spot where Blythe usually lay. Then Roy turned on his light. The two scouts stood appalled, speechless.

"And the golden squirrel sprang at his behest, Nestled to his breast, first to join the quest. But Great Râm's grave eyes grew tender, Smiled upon the warrior slender, Braver than the rest! "'Nay! thou art too pretty! fearless little heart, Thou should'st have no part in Strife's bitter art; Live to show man, worn and weary, One blythe soul for ever cheery, Free from sorrow's smart.

"There's a great deal of difference between being called a crow and being called carrots," said Anne with dignity. "Gilbert Blythe has hurt my feelings EXCRUCIATINGLY, Diana."
"The Germans captured Lodz today," said Miss Oliver, one December evening, when she, Mrs. Blythe, and Susan were busy sewing or knitting in the cosy living-room. "This war is at least extending my knowledge of geography. Schoolma'am though I am, three months ago I didn't know there was such a place in the world such as Lodz.
"Envoy to former Captain Blythe from the crew," I heard him say. Crisp and clear sang the answer of our captain. "My man, I don't know you. If my crew have anything to say let them send one of their own number. I don't deal with stowaways scalawags." "You'll deal with me if you deal with them. I've been elected captain in place of Mr. Blythe, deposed." "The devil you have! Bite on this, my man.
"And we all know black doesn't suit her complexion at all. But of course I'm not saying that is the reason she doesn't wear it. Only, it's funny. If my brother had died I'd have gone into deep mourning. I wouldn't have had the heart for anything else. I confess I'm disappointed in Rilla Blythe." "I am not, then," cried Betty Meade, loyally, "I think Rilla is just a wonderful girl.
