Janet
told
me
I
could
have
the
use
of
the
parlor
when
any
young
men
called
!
I
do
n't
think
there
are
many
to
call
.
I
have
n't
seen
a
young
man
in
Valley
Road
yet
,
except
the
next-door
hired
boy
--
Sam
Toliver
,
a
very
tall
,
lank
,
tow-haired
youth
.
He
came
over
one
evening
recently
and
sat
for
an
hour
on
the
garden
fence
,
near
the
front
porch
where
Janet
and
I
were
doing
fancy-work
.
The
only
remarks
he
volunteered
in
all
that
time
were
,
'
Hev
a
peppermint
,
miss
!
Dew
now-fine
thing
for
carARRH
,
peppermints
,
'
and
,
'
Powerful
lot
o
'
jump-grasses
round
here
ternight
.
Yep
.
'
"
But
there
is
a
love
affair
going
on
here
.
It
seems
to
be
my
fortune
to
be
mixed
up
,
more
or
less
actively
,
with
elderly
love
affairs
.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Irving
always
say
that
I
brought
about
their
marriage
.
Mrs.
Stephen
Clark
of
Carmody
persists
in
being
most
grateful
to
me
for
a
suggestion
which
somebody
else
would
probably
have
made
if
I
had
n't
.
I
do
really
think
,
though
,
that
Ludovic
Speed
would
never
have
got
any
further
along
than
placid
courtship
if
I
had
not
helped
him
and
Theodora
Dix
out
.
"
In
the
present
affair
I
am
only
a
passive
spectator
.
I
've
tried
once
to
help
things
along
and
made
an
awful
mess
of
it
.
So
I
shall
not
meddle
again
I
'll
tell
you
all
about
it
when
we
meet
.
"
On
the
first
Thursday
night
of
Anne
's
sojourn
in
Valley
Road
Janet
asked
her
to
go
to
prayer-meeting
.
Janet
blossomed
out
like
a
rose
to
attend
that
prayer-meeting
.
She
wore
a
pale-blue
,
pansy-sprinkled
muslin
dress
with
more
ruffles
than
one
would
ever
have
supposed
economical
Janet
could
be
guilty
of
,
and
a
white
leghorn
hat
with
pink
roses
and
three
ostrich
feathers
on
it
.
Anne
felt
quite
amazed
.
Later
on
,
she
found
out
Janet
's
motive
in
so
arraying
herself
--
a
motive
as
old
as
Eden
.
Valley
Road
prayer-meetings
seemed
to
be
essentially
feminine
.
There
were
thirty-two
women
present
,
two
half-grown
boys
,
and
one
solitary
man
,
beside
the
minister
.
Anne
found
herself
studying
this
man
.
He
was
not
handsome
or
young
or
graceful
;
he
had
remarkably
long
legs
--
so
long
that
he
had
to
keep
them
coiled
up
under
his
chair
to
dispose
of
them
--
and
he
was
stoop-shouldered
.
His
hands
were
big
,
his
hair
wanted
barbering
,
and
his
moustache
was
unkempt
.
But
Anne
thought
she
liked
his
face
;
it
was
kind
and
honest
and
tender
;
there
was
something
else
in
it
,
too
--
just
what
,
Anne
found
it
hard
to
define
.
She
finally
concluded
that
this
man
had
suffered
and
been
strong
,
and
it
had
been
made
manifest
in
his
face
.
There
was
a
sort
of
patient
,
humorous
endurance
in
his
expression
which
indicated
that
he
would
go
to
the
stake
if
need
be
,
but
would
keep
on
looking
pleasant
until
he
really
had
to
begin
squirming
.
When
prayer-meeting
was
over
this
man
came
up
to
Janet
and
said
,
"
May
I
see
you
home
,
Janet
?
"
Janet
took
his
arm
--
"
as
primly
and
shyly
as
if
she
were
no
more
than
sixteen
,
having
her
first
escort
home
,
"
Anne
told
the
girls
at
Patty
's
Place
later
on
.
"
Miss
Shirley
,
permit
me
to
introduce
Mr.
Douglas
,
"
she
said
stiffly
.
