Had she actually stooped to quarrel with a Sloane? Was it possible anything Charlie Sloane could say had power to make her angry? Oh, this was degradation, indeed worse even than being the rival of Nettie Blewett! "I wish I need never see the horrible creature again," she sobbed vindictively into her pillows.
"I think you'd better learn to control that imagination of yours, Anne, if you can't distinguish between what is real and what isn't," said Marilla crossly. "Yes, you did hear me say just that and no more. It isn't decided yet and perhaps we will conclude to let Mrs. Blewett take you after all. She certainly needs you much more than I do."
Lo! this summer had flung the hoarded sweetness of years into plentiful white blossoms, like shallow ivory cups with a haunting, spicy fragrance. It was in honour of Sara's home-coming so Old Man Shaw liked to fancy. All things, even the sulky rose-bush, knew she was coming back, and were making glad because of it. He was gloating over Sara's letter when Mrs. Peter Blewett came.
Hooker Beach had come round the corner of the house, and were gaping at them. "I must say that you two have chosen a fine pastoral scene!" observed Mr. Boltwood. "Hhhhhhhhow did you get here?" gasped Claire. "Auto 'bus over Blewett Pass, train here from Ellensburg. That woman everything all right?" "Yes, everything's fine. We were just starting back, sir," implored Milt. "Huh!"
"I hope Billy won't feel very badly over it," she said nicely. Jane made a movement as if she were tossing her head on her pillow. "Oh, he won't break his heart. Billy has too much good sense for that. He likes Nettie Blewett pretty well, too, and mother would rather he married her than any one. She's such a good manager and saver.
Father would forbid me. Try not to get him just tell Dr. Beach where we're going, and hang up, and scoot!" All night they drove; down the Pacific side of Blewett Pass; down the sweeping spirals to a valley. Dlorus drowsed in the extra seat. Claire's sleepy head was fantastically swaying.
She took off her hat and shawl, and hung them up. She felt as much at home as if she had never been away. She had got back to her kingdom, and there was none to dispute it with her. When Dr. Spencer and old Giles Blewett, who had had smallpox in his youth, came, two hours later, they found Eunice in serene charge. the house was in order and reeking of disinfectants.
"Of course she'll be contented," he said slowly. "Isn't it her home? And ain't I here?" Mrs. Blewett smiled again, with double distilled contempt for such simplicity. "Well, it's a good thing you're so sure of it, I suppose.
I leave it to you, Henry B., if any union poet has ever written as gay a refrain as 'Ohop Ladd'!" She was not merely playing mental whist. She was trying to keep from worry. All the way she had heard of Blewett Pass; its fourteen miles of climbing, and the last half mile of stern pitch.
The cat came to her from under the stove, languidly stretching himself, and yawning until all the red cavern of his mouth and throat was revealed. At the moment he had an uncanny resemblance to Elder Joseph Blewett of White Sands Roaring Joe, the irreverent boys called him when he grew excited and shouted. Mrs. Bell saw it and then reproached herself for the sacrilege.
