"It would be most distressing, and, I assure you, really it is unnecessary." "But you must do something," she cried. "On the contrary, it is quite conceivable that I do not have to do anything." "You would stay here?" He nodded.
Indeed, they were a most cordial pair. But for all that, their acquaintance had not ripened into friendship. Evidently Christine was not a kindred spirit. "Are you going to be in Avonlea all summer?" asked Gilbert. "No. I'm going down east to Valley Road next week. Esther Haythorne wants me to teach for her through July and August.
"Well, if he was, he finished himself off by that affair," Haythorne grumbled. "And the woman was a termagant at least so I've been told.

Our meeting is wholly fortuitous. I broke with the life academic and I had to go somewhere. To be honest, I came into the Klondike because I thought it the place you were least liable to be in." There was a fumbling at the latch, then the door swung in and Haythorne entered with an armful of firewood. At the first warning, Theresa began casually to clear away the dishes.
