She seemed wrapped in a reverie in which Diana felt lonesomely that she had neither lot nor part. "Ruby Gillis was a great girl to laugh," said Davy suddenly. "Will she laugh as much in heaven as she did in Avonlea, Anne? I want to know." "Yes, I think she will," said Anne. "Oh, Anne," protested Diana, with a rather shocked smile. "Well, why not, Diana?" asked Anne seriously.
"Now, Laddie, we are ready for the final dash," said Welborn, as he rose from the table. "The farther we go, the tougher it gets. And we are on the last leg." "Landy and I had better go along," said Gillis. "Ye might get stuck, and we will be needed to help unload." "You men come back here for dinner," called Mrs. Gillis from the doorway. "You will be too busy to stop and cook."
They don't have to meet a daily schedule, don't have to spread canvas in the rain or look at a mob tittering yokels all the time. That's the life for me and the Gillis outfit is my pattern."

The farm was fenced for the most part, and the neighboring range was alloted by the grazing master to Gillis, Landy, and their co-homesteaders at the far limits of the tract.
I wouldn't want to be caught in a disguise. At any rate, I will be in Chicago or Bransford some day next week." At the railway station Jim Gillis maneuvered the ancient model to unload the metal and clothing at the Denver platform. Davy purchased a ticket for Chicago. Welborn's read "to Denver and return."
