"Anne, there's one thing in particular I like about you you're so ungrudging. There isn't a particle of envy in you." "Why should she be envious?" demanded Aunt Jamesina. "She's not quite as goodlooking as you, maybe, but she's got a far handsomer nose." "I know it," conceded Phil. "My nose always has been a great comfort to me," confessed Anne.
"We've all got used to each other," said Phil. "And I've learned how to wash dishes and sweep a floor." "But you needn't try to make us believe you can chloroform a cat," laughed Anne. "It was all the fault of the knothole," protested Phil. "It was a good thing the knothole was there," said Aunt Jamesina rather severely. "Kittens HAVE to be drowned, I admit, or the world would be overrun.
I wouldn't go anywhere with him; but rather than hurt his poor little tender feelings I said I wasn't going to the game at all. I don't mind. I'm not in the mood for football today somehow." "You go and get some fresh air," repeated Aunt Jamesina, "but take your umbrella, for I believe it's going to rain. I've rheumatism in my leg." "Only old people should have rheumatism, Aunty."
Do your duty by God and your neighbor and yourself, and have a good time. That's my philosophy and it's always worked pretty well. Where's Phil off to tonight?" "She's going to a dance, and she's got the sweetest dress for it creamy yellow silk and cobwebby lace. It just suits those brown tints of hers." "There's magic in the words 'silk' and 'lace, isn't there?" said Aunt Jamesina.
"No, he would do if he wasn't poor. I must marry a rich man, Aunt Jamesina. That and good looks is an indispensable qualification. I'd marry Gilbert Blythe if he were rich." "Oh, would you?" said Anne, rather viciously. "We don't like that idea a little bit, although we don't want Gilbert ourselves, oh, no," mocked Phil. "But don't let's talk of disagreeable subjects.
But I was speaking of MINISTERS, my dear," said Aunt Jamesina rebukingly. "And you shouldn't flirt so with Mr. Blake you really shouldn't." "I'm not flirting with him," protested Phil. Nobody believed her, except Anne. The others thought she was amusing herself as usual, and told her roundly that she was behaving very badly. "Mr.
He told Anne bitterly that there were times when he had his doubts as to whether he was really called to be a minister. Aunt Jamesina did not come until the girls had Patty's Place ready for her.
"Jonas likes you better for your big brown eyes and your crooked smile than for all the brains you carry under your curls," said Anne. "When I was a girl it wasn't considered lady-like to know anything about Mathematics," said Aunt Jamesina. "But times have changed. I don't know that it's all for the better. Can you cook, Phil?"
Anyhow, decide as soon as you can and write me, so that Aunt Jamesina will know what plans to make for next year." "I think it's a good idea," said Priscilla. "So do I," agreed Anne delightedly. "Of course, we have a nice boardinghouse here, but, when all's said and done, a boardinghouse isn't home. So let's go house-hunting at once, before exams come on."
It all sounds as if it were made in heaven, but I have my doubts. Make the most of that, Aunt Jamesina." Roy asked Anne to marry him in the little pavilion on the harbor shore where they had talked on the rainy day of their first meeting. Anne thought it very romantic that he should have chosen that spot.
