Mr.
Douglas
nodded
and
said
,
"
I
was
looking
at
you
in
prayer-meeting
,
miss
,
and
thinking
what
a
nice
little
girl
you
were
.
"
Such
a
speech
from
ninety-nine
people
out
of
a
hundred
would
have
annoyed
Anne
bitterly
;
but
the
way
in
which
Mr.
Douglas
said
it
made
her
feel
that
she
had
received
a
very
real
and
pleasing
compliment
.
She
smiled
appreciatively
at
him
and
dropped
obligingly
behind
on
the
moonlit
road
.
So
Janet
had
a
beau
!
Anne
was
delighted
.
Janet
would
make
a
paragon
of
a
wife
--
cheery
,
economical
,
tolerant
,
and
a
very
queen
of
cooks
.
It
would
be
a
flagrant
waste
on
Nature
's
part
to
keep
her
a
permanent
old
maid
.
"
John
Douglas
asked
me
to
take
you
up
to
see
his
mother
,
"
said
Janet
the
next
day
.
"
She
's
bed-rid
a
lot
of
the
time
and
never
goes
out
of
the
house
.
But
she
's
powerful
fond
of
company
and
always
wants
to
see
my
boarders
.
Can
you
go
up
this
evening
?
"
Anne
assented
;
but
later
in
the
day
Mr.
Douglas
called
on
his
mother
's
behalf
to
invite
them
up
to
tea
on
Saturday
evening
.
"
Oh
,
why
did
n't
you
put
on
your
pretty
pansy
dress
?
"
asked
Anne
,
when
they
left
home
.
It
was
a
hot
day
,
and
poor
Janet
,
between
her
excitement
and
her
heavy
black
cashmere
dress
,
looked
as
if
she
were
being
broiled
alive
.
"
Old
Mrs.
Douglas
would
think
it
terrible
frivolous
and
unsuitable
,
I
'm
afraid
.
John
likes
that
dress
,
though
,
"
she
added
wistfully
.
The
old
Douglas
homestead
was
half
a
mile
from
"
Wayside
"
cresting
a
windy
hill
.
The
house
itself
was
large
and
comfortable
,
old
enough
to
be
dignified
,
and
girdled
with
maple
groves
and
orchards
.
There
were
big
,
trim
barns
behind
it
,
and
everything
bespoke
prosperity
.
Whatever
the
patient
endurance
in
Mr.
Douglas
'
face
had
meant
it
had
n't
,
so
Anne
reflected
,
meant
debts
and
duns
.
John
Douglas
met
them
at
the
door
and
took
them
into
the
sitting-room
,
where
his
mother
was
enthroned
in
an
armchair
.
