Yes
,
I
think
they
would
if
you
wanted
it
,
”
was
all
Anne
could
trust
herself
to
say
.
The
A
.
V
.
I
.
S
.
met
at
Mr
.
Harmon
Andrews
’
that
evening
and
a
full
attendance
had
been
requested
,
since
important
business
was
to
be
discussed
.
The
A
.
V
.
I
.
S
.
was
in
a
flourishing
condition
,
and
had
already
accomplished
wonders
.
Early
in
the
spring
Mr
.
Major
Spencer
had
redeemed
his
promise
and
had
stumped
,
graded
,
and
seeded
down
all
the
road
front
of
his
farm
.
A
dozen
other
men
,
some
prompted
by
a
determination
not
to
let
a
Spencer
get
ahead
of
them
,
others
goaded
into
action
by
Improvers
in
their
own
households
,
had
followed
his
example
.
The
result
was
that
there
were
long
strips
of
smooth
velvet
turf
where
once
had
been
unsightly
undergrowth
or
brush
.
The
farm
fronts
that
had
not
been
done
looked
so
badly
by
contrast
that
their
owners
were
secretly
shamed
into
resolving
to
see
what
they
could
do
another
spring
.
The
triangle
of
ground
at
the
cross
roads
had
also
been
cleared
and
seeded
down
,
and
Anne
’
s
bed
of
geraniums
,
unharmed
by
any
marauding
cow
,
was
already
set
out
in
the
center
.
Altogether
,
the
Improvers
thought
that
they
were
getting
on
beautifully
,
even
if
Mr
.
Levi
Boulter
,
tactfully
approached
by
a
carefully
selected
committee
in
regard
to
the
old
house
on
his
upper
farm
,
did
bluntly
tell
them
that
he
wasn
’
t
going
to
have
it
meddled
with
.
At
this
especial
meeting
they
intended
to
draw
up
a
petition
to
the
school
trustees
,
humbly
praying
that
a
fence
be
put
around
the
school
grounds
;
and
a
plan
was
also
to
be
discussed
for
planting
a
few
ornamental
trees
by
the
church
,
if
the
funds
of
the
society
would
permit
of
it
.
.
.
for
,
as
Anne
said
,
there
was
no
use
in
starting
another
subscription
as
long
as
the
hall
remained
blue
.
The
members
were
assembled
in
the
Andrews
’
parlor
and
Jane
was
already
on
her
feet
to
move
the
appointment
of
a
committee
which
should
find
out
and
report
on
the
price
of
said
trees
,
when
Gertie
Pye
swept
in
,
pompadoured
and
frilled
within
an
inch
of
her
life
.
Gertie
had
a
habit
of
being
late
.
.
.
“
to
make
her
entrance
more
effective
,
”
spiteful
people
said
.
Gertie
’
s
entrance
in
this
instance
was
certainly
effective
,
for
she
paused
dramatically
on
the
middle
of
the
floor
,
threw
up
her
hands
,
rolled
her
eyes
,
and
exclaimed
,
“
I
’
ve
just
heard
something
perfectly
awful
.
What
DO
you
think
?
Mr
.
Judson
Parker
IS
GOING
TO
RENT
ALL
THE
ROAD
FENCE
OF
HIS
FARM
TO
A
PATENT
MEDICINE
COMPANY
TO
PAINT
ADVERTISEMENTS
ON
.
”
For
once
in
her
life
Gertie
Pye
made
all
the
sensation
she
desired
.
If
she
had
thrown
a
bomb
among
the
complacent
Improvers
she
could
hardly
have
made
more
.
“
It
CAN
’
T
be
true
,
”
said
Anne
blankly
.
“
That
’
s
just
what
I
said
when
I
heard
it
first
,
don
’
t
you
know
,
”
said
Gertie
,
who
was
enjoying
herself
hugely
.
“
I
said
it
couldn
’
t
be
true
.
.
.
that
Judson
Parker
wouldn
’
t
have
the
HEART
to
do
it
,
don
’
t
you
know
.
But
father
met
him
this
afternoon
and
asked
him
about
it
and
he
said
it
WAS
true
.
Just
fancy
!
His
farm
is
side
-
on
to
the
Newbridge
road
and
how
perfectly
awful
it
will
look
to
see
advertisements
of
pills
and
plasters
all
along
it
,
don
’
t
you
know
?
”
The
Improvers
DID
know
,
all
too
well
.
Even
the
least
imaginative
among
them
could
picture
the
grotesque
effect
of
half
a
mile
of
board
fence
adorned
with
such
advertisements
.
All
thought
of
church
and
school
grounds
vanished
before
this
new
danger
.
Parliamentary
rules
and
regulations
were
forgotten
,
and
Anne
,
in
despair
,
gave
up
trying
to
keep
minutes
at
all
.
Everybody
talked
at
once
and
fearful
was
the
hubbub
.
“
Oh
,
let
us
keep
calm
,
”
implored
Anne
,
who
was
the
most
excited
of
them
all
,
“
and
try
to
think
of
some
way
of
preventing
him
.
”
“
I
don
’
t
know
how
you
’
re
going
to
prevent
him
,
”
exclaimed
Jane
bitterly
.
“
Everybody
knows
what
Judson
Parker
is
.
He
’
d
do
ANYTHING
for
money
.
He
hasn
’
t
a
SPARK
of
public
spirit
or
ANY
sense
of
the
beautiful
.
