No sooner was it upon the road than Brereton spurred up alongside of his superior, and, saluting, said in a dropped voice: "Your Excellency, I had something of moment to say to the Merediths, but 't was impossible to get private word, with all the idlers and racketers and Jack-a-dandies of the army running in and out upon them. May I not turn back? I will overtake you ere many hours."
The manse children heard of Avonlea and Green Gables, of Rainbow Valley traditions, and of the little house by the harbour shore where Jem had been born. The Ingleside children heard of Maywater, where the Merediths had lived before coming to the Glen, of Una's beloved, one-eyed doll and Faith's pet rooster. Faith was inclined to resent the fact that people laughed at her for petting a rooster.
"By the way, Alvord, where do the Merediths stand in the matter of the club election?" "Which of them?" "Either or both. I suppose they're on your side they never seemed to like Sanford much." "My dear Eunice, don't be so narrow-minded. Club men don't vote one way or another because of a personal like or dislike they consider the good of the club the welfare of the organization."
The Governor had warned the Merediths that the removal to Charlottesville must await the chance of an empty army transport, or other means of conveyance, and for more than a month they waited, not knowing at what hour the order would come.
"George doesn't know any Merediths. Mark he is following Becky." "Well, she's safe in Boston." "She is going back. On Wednesday. And he'll be there." Her eyes were troubled. "Mark," she said, abruptly, "I wonder if Randy has left New York. Call him up, please, long distance. I want to talk to him." "My darling girl, do you know what time it is?" "Nearly midnight. But that's nothing in New York.
I shall hold MY head up after this, believe ME though I MAY talk things over with you as usual just to relieve my feelings if the Merediths do any more startling stunts. Even that letter I felt so bad about why, it's only a good joke after all, as Norman says. Not many girls would have been cute enough to think of writing it and all punctuated so nicely and not one word misspelled.
I won't admit that it is rheumatism, but it does ache. As for the children, they and the Merediths are planning a gay summer before they have to go back to studies in the fall. They are such a fun-loving little crowd. They keep this house in a perpetual whirl of merriment." "Is Rilla going to Queen's when Shirley goes back?" "It isn't decided yet. I rather fancy not.
"He was here yesterday, with her ladyship; and I lunched there to-day. The letter came, you know, in time to stop the Merediths. They don't go till to-morrow, so you will meet them after all. Sir George is wild about it, but Lady Lufton would have her way. You never saw her in such a state as she is." "Good spirits, eh?" "I should think so.
One evening long ago when Nan and Di and Jem and the Merediths and I were together in Rainbow Valley I had a queer vision or presentiment whatever you like to call it. Rilla, I saw the Piper coming down the Valley with a shadowy host behind him. The others thought I was only pretending but I saw him for just one moment. And Rilla, last night I saw him again.
I found our exalted position very lonely, and cared more for the simple joys of friendship and companionship which other girls had. But Hester possessed it in a double measure; she never allowed me to associate on a level of equality with the young people of Newbridge. We must be very nice and kind and affable to them noblesse oblige, as it were but we must never forget that we were Merediths.
