Well

,

it

was

n't

right

for

her

to

say

it

,

"

said

Anne

,

promptly

deciding

upon

which

horn

of

this

dilemma

to

empale

herself

.

"

It

is

n't

right

for

anybody

to

take

that

name

in

vain

or

speak

it

lightly

,

Davy

.

Do

n't

ever

do

it

again

.

"

"

Not

if

I

say

it

slow

and

solemn

,

like

the

minister

?

"

queried

Davy

gravely

.

"

No

,

not

even

then

.

Well

,

I

Ludovic

Speed

and

Theodora

Dix

live

in

Middle

Grafton

and

Mrs.

Rachel

says

he

has

been

courting

her

for

a

hundred

years

.

Wo

n't

they

soon

be

too

old

to

get

married

,

Anne

?

I

hope

Gilbert

wo

n't

court

YOU

that

long

.

When

are

you

going

to

be

married

,

Anne

?

Mrs.

Lynde

says

it

's

a

sure

thing

.

"

"

Mrs.

Lynde

is

a

--

"

began

Anne

hotly

;

then

stopped

.

"

Awful

old

gossip

,

"

completed

Davy

calmly

.

"

That

's

what

every

one

calls

her

.

But

is

it

a

sure

thing

,

Anne

?

I

want

to

know

.

"

"

You

're

a

very

silly

little

boy

,

Davy

,

"

said

Anne

,

stalking

haughtily

out

of

the

room

.

The

kitchen

was

deserted

and

she

sat

down

by

the

window

in

the

fast

falling

wintry

twilight

.

The

sun

had

set

and

the

wind

had

died

down

.

A

pale

chilly

moon

looked

out

behind

a

bank

of

purple

clouds

in

the

west

.

The

sky

faded

out

,

but

the

strip

of

yellow

along

the

western

horizon

grew

brighter

and

fiercer

,

as

if

all

the

stray

gleams

of

light

were

concentrating

in

one

spot

;

the

distant

hills

,

rimmed

with

priest-like

firs

,

stood

out

in

dark

distinctness

against

it

.

Anne

looked

across

the

still

,

white

fields

,

cold

and

lifeless

in

the

harsh

light

of

that

grim

sunset

,

and

sighed

.

She

was

very

lonely

;

and

she

was

sad

at

heart

;

for

she

was

wondering

if

she

would

be

able

to

return

to

Redmond

next

year

.

It

did

not

seem

likely

.

The

only

scholarship

possible

in

the

Sophomore

year

was

a

very

small

affair

.

She

would

not

take

Marilla

's

money

;

and

there

seemed

little

prospect

of

being

able

to

earn

enough

in

the

summer

vacation

.

"

I

suppose

I

'll

just

have

to

drop

out

next

year

,

"

she

thought

drearily

,

"

and

teach

a

district

school

again

until

I

earn

enough

to

finish

my

course

.

And

by

that

time

all

my

old

class

will

have

graduated

and

Patty

's

Place

will

be

out

of

the

question

.

But

there

!

I

'm

not

going

to

be

a

coward

.

I

'm

thankful

I

can

earn

my

way

through

if

necessary

.

"

"

Here

's

Mr.

Harrison

wading

up

the

lane

,

"

announced

Davy

,

running

out

.

"

I

hope

he

's

brought

the

mail

.

It

's

three

days

since

we

got

it

.

I

want

to

see

what

them

pesky

Grits

are

doing

.

I

'm

a

Conservative

,

Anne

.

And

I

tell

you

,

you

have

to

keep

your

eye

on

them

Grits

.

"

Mr.

Harrison

had

brought

the

mail

,

and

merry

letters

from

Stella

and

Priscilla

and

Phil

soon

dissipated

Anne

's

blues

.

Aunt

Jamesina

,

too

,

had

written

,

saying

that

she

was

keeping

the

hearth-fire

alight

,

and

that

the

cats

were

all

well

,

and

the

house

plants

doing

fine

.
