Then he can help the farmers get the harvest in. I don't think I'd be much use in a harvest myself though lots of the girls are but I can set Jack free while I do his work. Jims isn't much bother in the daytime now, and I'll always be home at night." "Do you think you'll like weighing out sugar and beans, and trafficking in butter and eggs?" said the doctor, twinkling. "Probably not.
Don't talk her to death she's weak yet and attend to that menagerie of yours over there she's worrying because the bull dog and gobbler weren't fed and Jims " But Jims had swung down through the pine and was tearing across the Garden of Spices. The Girl and the Photograph When I heard that Peter Austin was in Vancouver I hunted him up.
Past the roses one saw a green lawn, sprinkled over now with the white ghosts of dandelions, and dotted with ornamental trees. The trees grew so thickly that they almost hid the house to which the garden pertained. It was a large one of grey-black stone, with stacks of huge chimneys. Jims had no idea who lived there.
Rilla was on her way into Charlottetown to spend the night with a friend and the next day in Red Cross shopping; she had taken Jims with her, partly because she did not want Susan or her mother to be bothered with his care, partly because of a hungry desire in her heart to have as much of him as she could before she might have to give him up forever.
"Jims Jims I see so little of you really and some day soon you'll be going to school and I'll lose you." "I've got to think of some way to prevent it," cried Jims. "I won't have it. I won't I won't." But his heart sank notwithstanding. One day Jims slipped from the blue room, down the pine and across the lawn with a tear-stained face.
Rilla was so engrossed in wondering what was to become of Jims in the future that she forgot to take notice of what was happening to him in the present. What did happen was that Jims lost his balance, shot headlong down the steps, hurtled across the little siding platform, and landed in a clump of bracken fern on the other side. Rilla shrieked and lost her head.
He pictured himself running in it with imaginary playmates and there was a mother in it or a big sister or, at the least, a whole aunt who would let you hug her and would never dream of shutting you up in chilly, shadowy, horrible blue rooms. "It seems to me," said Jims, flattening his nose against the pane, "that I must get into that garden or bust."
She'd never get over it if she heard I came to her house for refuge in a thunderstorm and couldn't get in." Luckily she did not have to go to the length of actual housebreaking. The kitchen window went up quite easily. Rilla lifted Jims in and scrambled through herself, just as the storm broke in good earnest.
"Oh, I am ugly I am ugly," she cried. "Just look at me right at me. Doesn't it hurt you to look at me?" Jims looked at her gravely and dispassionately. "No, it doesn't," he said. "Not a bit," he added, after some further exploration of his consciousness. Suddenly the lady laughed beautifully. A faint rosy flush came into her unscarred cheek. "James, I believe you mean it." "Of course I mean it.
If Uncle Walter had been home Jims would have appealed to him for when Uncle Walter could be really wakened up to a realization of his small nephew's presence in his home, he was very kind and indulgent. But it was so hard to waken him up that Jims seldom attempted it.
