Oh
,
that
's
nice
.
Mine
is
Anne
,
and
I
'd
rather
you
called
me
Anne
.
It
's
been
so
lonely
up
here
since
my
girl
left
me
a
month
ago
,
but
it
's
not
easy
to
get
good
house
help
,
so
I
've
been
battling
on
my
own
.
There
's
only
Luddie
and
me
to
look
after
;
we
have
no
children
.
I
hope
you
're
going
to
like
living
with
us
,
Meggie
.
"
"
I
'm
sure
I
will
,
Mrs.
Mueller
--
Anne
.
"
"
Let
me
show
you
to
your
room
.
Can
you
manage
the
case
?
I
'm
not
much
good
at
carrying
things
,
I
'm
afraid
.
"
The
room
was
austerely
furnished
,
like
the
rest
of
the
house
,
but
it
looked
out
on
the
only
side
of
the
house
where
the
view
was
unimpeded
by
some
sort
of
wind-break
,
and
shared
the
same
stretch
of
veranda
as
the
living
room
,
which
seemed
very
bare
to
Meggie
with
its
cane
furniture
and
lack
of
fabric
.
"
It
's
just
too
hot
up
here
for
velvet
or
chintz
,
"
Anne
explained
.
"
We
live
with
wicker
,
and
as
little
on
ourselves
as
decency
allows
.
I
'll
have
to
educate
you
,
or
you
'll
die
.
You
're
hopelessly
overclothed
.
"
She
herself
was
in
a
sleeveless
,
low-necked
vest
and
a
pair
of
short
shorts
,
out
of
which
her
poor
twisted
legs
poked
doddering
.
In
no
time
at
all
Meggie
found
herself
similarly
clad
,
loaned
from
Anne
until
Luke
could
be
persuaded
to
buy
her
new
clothes
.
It
was
humiliating
to
have
to
explain
that
she
was
allowed
no
money
,
but
at
least
having
to
endure
this
attenuated
her
embarrassment
over
wearing
so
little
.
"
Well
,
you
certainly
decorate
my
shorts
better
than
I
do
,
"
said
Anne
.
She
went
on
with
her
breezy
lecture
.
"
Luddie
will
bring
you
firewood
;
you
're
not
to
cut
your
own
or
drag
it
up
the
steps
.
I
wish
we
had
electricity
like
the
places
closer
in
to
Dunny
,
but
the
government
is
slower
than
a
wet
week
.
Maybe
next
year
the
line
will
reach
as
far
as
Himmelhoch
,
but
until
then
it
's
the
awful
old
fuel
stove
,
I
'm
afraid
.
But
you
wait
,
Meggie
!
The
minute
they
give
us
power
we
'll
have
an
electric
stove
,
electric
lights
and
a
refrigerator
.
"
"
I
'm
used
to
doing
without
them
.
"
"
Yes
,
but
where
you
come
from
the
heat
is
dry
.
This
is
far
,
far
worse
.
I
'm
just
frightened
that
your
health
will
suffer
.
It
often
does
in
women
who
were
n't
born
and
brought
up
here
;
something
to
do
with
the
blood
.
We
're
on
the
same
latitude
south
as
Bombay
and
Rangoon
are
north
,
you
know
;
not
fit
country
for
man
or
beast
unless
born
to
it
.
"
She
smiled
.
"
Oh
,
it
's
nice
having
you
already
!
You
and
I
are
going
to
have
a
wonderful
time
!
Do
you
like
reading
?
Luddie
and
I
have
a
passion
for
it
.
