I don't believe Burns was really sincere in that prayer, either." "Oh, I daresay we all pray for some things that we really don't want, if we were only honest enough to look into our hearts," owned Aunt Jamesina candidly. "I've a notion that such prayers don't rise very far. I used to pray that I might be enabled to forgive a certain person, but I know now I really didn't want to forgive her.
But mother gave him some frightful hints in every conversation regarding what she had hoped for me. Oh, my vacation pathway hasn't been exactly strewn with roses, girls dear. But I've won out and I've got Jo. Nothing else matters." "To you," said Aunt Jamesina darkly. "Nor to Jo, either," retorted Phil. "You keep on pitying him. Why, pray? I think he's to be envied.
"And now tell us about that romantic scene you hinted so darkly at in one of your letters," demanded Phil. Anne acted out Samuel's proposal with great spirit. The girls shrieked with laughter and Aunt Jamesina smiled. "It isn't in good taste to make fun of your beaux," she said severely; "but," she added calmly, "I always did it myself." "Tell us about your beaux, Aunty," entreated Phil.
I mean to take it real easy here. I know you expect me to look after you and keep you proper, but I'm not going to do it. You're old enough to know how to behave if you're ever going to be. So, as far as I am concerned," concluded Aunt Jamesina, with a twinkle in her young eyes, "you can all go to destruction in your own way." "Oh, will somebody separate those cats?" pleaded Stella, shudderingly.
When Phil had gone Aunt Jamesina looked solemnly at Anne. "That girl is pretty and sweet and goodhearted, but do you think she is quite right in her mind, by spells, Anne?" "Oh, I don't think there's anything the matter with Phil's mind," said Anne, hiding a smile. "It's just her way of talking." Aunt Jamesina shook her head. "Well, I hope so, Anne. I do hope so, because I love her.
Rusty never again interfered with her. But Joseph rashly sat up and yawned. Rusty, burning to avenge his disgrace, swooped down upon him. Joseph, pacific by nature, could fight upon occasion and fight well. The result was a series of drawn battles. Every day Rusty and Joseph fought at sight. Anne took Rusty's part and detested Joseph. Stella was in despair. But Aunt Jamesina only laughed.
Anne picked up her orchids and went downstairs, where Aunt Jamesina was presiding over a row of coats hung before the fire to warm. Roy Gardner was waiting for Anne and teasing the Sarah-cat while he waited. The Sarah-cat did not approve of him. She always turned her back on him. But everybody else at Patty's Place liked him very much.
"Have you learned anything at Redmond except dead languages and geometry and such trash?" queried Aunt Jamesina. "Oh, yes. I think we have, Aunty," protested Anne. "We've learned the truth of what Professor Woodleigh told us last Philomathic," said Phil. "He said, 'Humor is the spiciest condiment in the feast of existence.
Miss Josepine Remembers the Anne-girl When Christmas holidays came the girls of Patty's Place scattered to their respective homes, but Aunt Jamesina elected to stay where she was. "I couldn't go to any of the places I've been invited and take those three cats," she said. "And I'm not going to leave the poor creatures here alone for nearly three weeks.
Phil was blissfully content with the little one over the kitchen; and Aunt Jamesina was to have the downstairs one off the living-room. Rusty at first slept on the doorstep. Anne, walking home from Redmond a few days after her return, became aware that the people that she met surveyed her with a covert, indulgent smile. Anne wondered uneasily what was the matter with her. Was her hat crooked?
