Anne
had
expected
old
Mrs.
Douglas
to
be
tall
and
thin
,
because
Mr.
Douglas
was
.
Instead
,
she
was
a
tiny
scrap
of
a
woman
,
with
soft
pink
cheeks
,
mild
blue
eyes
,
and
a
mouth
like
a
baby
's
.
Dressed
in
a
beautiful
,
fashionably-made
black
silk
dress
,
with
a
fluffy
white
shawl
over
her
shoulders
,
and
her
snowy
hair
surmounted
by
a
dainty
lace
cap
,
she
might
have
posed
as
a
grandmother
doll
.
"
How
do
you
do
,
Janet
dear
?
"
she
said
sweetly
.
"
I
am
so
glad
to
see
you
again
,
dear
.
"
She
put
up
her
pretty
old
face
to
be
kissed
.
"
And
this
is
our
new
teacher
.
I
'm
delighted
to
meet
you
.
My
son
has
been
singing
your
praises
until
I
'm
half
jealous
,
and
I
'm
sure
Janet
ought
to
be
wholly
so
.
"
Poor
Janet
blushed
,
Anne
said
something
polite
and
conventional
,
and
then
everybody
sat
down
and
made
talk
.
It
was
hard
work
,
even
for
Anne
,
for
nobody
seemed
at
ease
except
old
Mrs.
Douglas
,
who
certainly
did
not
find
any
difficulty
in
talking
.
She
made
Janet
sit
by
her
and
stroked
her
hand
occasionally
.
Janet
sat
and
smiled
,
looking
horribly
uncomfortable
in
her
hideous
dress
,
and
John
Douglas
sat
without
smiling
.
At
the
tea
table
Mrs.
Douglas
gracefully
asked
Janet
to
pour
the
tea
.
Janet
turned
redder
than
ever
but
did
it
.
Anne
wrote
a
description
of
that
meal
to
Stella
.
"
We
had
cold
tongue
and
chicken
and
strawberry
preserves
,
lemon
pie
and
tarts
and
chocolate
cake
and
raisin
cookies
and
pound
cake
and
fruit
cake
--
and
a
few
other
things
,
including
more
pie
--
caramel
pie
,
I
think
it
was
.
After
I
had
eaten
twice
as
much
as
was
good
for
me
,
Mrs.
Douglas
sighed
and
said
she
feared
she
had
nothing
to
tempt
my
appetite
.
"'
I
'm
afraid
dear
Janet
's
cooking
has
spoiled
you
for
any
other
,
'
she
said
sweetly
.
'
Of
course
nobody
in
Valley
Road
aspires
to
rival
HER
.
WO
N'T
you
have
another
piece
of
pie
,
Miss
Shirley
?
You
have
n't
eaten
ANYTHING
.
'
"
Stella
,
I
had
eaten
a
helping
of
tongue
and
one
of
chicken
,
three
biscuits
,
a
generous
allowance
of
preserves
,
a
piece
of
pie
,
a
tart
,
and
a
square
of
chocolate
cake
!
"
After
tea
Mrs.
Douglas
smiled
benevolently
and
told
John
to
take
"
dear
Janet
"
out
into
the
garden
and
get
her
some
roses
.
"
Miss
Shirley
will
keep
me
company
while
you
are
out
--
wo
n't
you
?
"
she
said
plaintively
.
She
settled
down
in
her
armchair
with
a
sigh
.
"
I
am
a
very
frail
old
woman
,
Miss
Shirley
.
For
over
twenty
years
I
've
been
a
great
sufferer
.
For
twenty
long
,
weary
years
I
've
been
dying
by
inches
.
"
