Anne
was
trying
to
fasten
a
little
gold
chain
about
her
throat
.
She
suddenly
found
the
clasp
difficult
to
manage
.
WHAT
was
the
matter
with
it
--
or
with
her
fingers
?
"
No
,
"
she
said
carelessly
.
"
Who
is
Christine
Stuart
?

"
Ronald
Stuart
's
sister
.
She
's
in
Kingsport
this
winter
studying
music
.
I
have
n't
seen
her
,
but
they
say
she
's
very
pretty
and
that
Gilbert
is
quite
crazy
over
her
.
How
angry
I
was
when
you
refused
Gilbert
,
Anne
.
But
Roy
Gardner
was
foreordained
for
you
.
I
can
see
that
now
.
You
were
right
,
after
all
.
"
Anne
did
not
blush
,
as
she
usually
did
when
the
girls
assumed
that
her
eventual
marriage
to
Roy
Gardner
was
a
settled
thing
.
All
at
once
she
felt
rather
dull
.
Phil
's
chatter
seemed
trivial
and
the
reception
a
bore
.
She
boxed
poor
Rusty
's
ears
.
"
Get
off
that
cushion
instantly
,
you
cat
,
you
!
Why
do
n't
you
stay
down
where
you
belong
?
"
Anne
picked
up
her
orchids
and
went
downstairs
,
where
Aunt
Jamesina
was
presiding
over
a
row
of
coats
hung
before
the
fire
to
warm
.
Roy
Gardner
was
waiting
for
Anne
and
teasing
the
Sarah-cat
while
he
waited
.
The
Sarah-cat
did
not
approve
of
him
.
She
always
turned
her
back
on
him
.
But
everybody
else
at
Patty
's
Place
liked
him
very
much
.
Aunt
Jamesina
,
carried
away
by
his
unfailing
and
deferential
courtesy
,
and
the
pleading
tones
of
his
delightful
voice
,
declared
he
was
the
nicest
young
man
she
ever
knew
,
and
that
Anne
was
a
very
fortunate
girl
.
Such
remarks
made
Anne
restive
.
Roy
's
wooing
had
certainly
been
as
romantic
as
girlish
heart
could
desire
,
but
--
she
wished
Aunt
Jamesina
and
the
girls
would
not
take
things
so
for
granted

When
Roy
murmured
a
poetical
compliment
as
he
helped
her
on
with
her
coat
,
she
did
not
blush
and
thrill
as
usual
;
and
he
found
her
rather
silent
in
their
brief
walk
to
Redmond
.
He
thought
she
looked
a
little
pale
when
she
came
out
of
the
coeds
'
dressing
room
;
but
as
they
entered
the
reception
room
her
color
and
sparkle
suddenly
returned
to
her
.
She
turned
to
Roy
with
her
gayest
expression
.
He
smiled
back
at
her
with
what
Phil
called
"
his
deep
,
black
,
velvety
smile
.
"
Yet
she
really
did
not
see
Roy
at
all
.
She
was
acutely
conscious
that
Gilbert
was
standing
under
the
palms
just
across
the
room
talking
to
a
girl
who
must
be
Christine
Stuart
.
She
was
very
handsome
,
in
the
stately
style
destined
to
become
rather
massive
in
middle
life
.
A
tall
girl
,
with
large
dark-blue
eyes
,
ivory
outlines
,
and
a
gloss
of
darkness
on
her
smooth
hair
.
"
She
looks
just
as
I
've
always
wanted
to
look
,
"
thought
Anne
miserably
.
"
Rose-leaf
complexion
--
starry
violet
eyes
--
raven
hair
--
yes
,
she
has
them
all
.
It
's
a
wonder
her
name
is
n't
Cordelia
Fitzgerald
into
the
bargain
!
But
I
do
n't
believe
her
figure
is
as
good
as
mine
,
and
her
nose
certainly
is
n't
.
