"
How
painful
!
"
said
Anne
,
trying
to
be
sympathetic
and
succeeding
only
in
feeling
idiotic
.
"
There
have
been
scores
of
nights
when
they
've
thought
I
could
never
live
to
see
the
dawn
,
"
went
on
Mrs.
Douglas
solemnly
.
"
Nobody
knows
what
I
've
gone
through
--
nobody
can
know
but
myself
.
Well
,
it
ca
n't
last
very
much
longer
now
.
My
weary
pilgrimage
will
soon
be
over
,
Miss
Shirley
.
It
is
a
great
comfort
to
me
that
John
will
have
such
a
good
wife
to
look
after
him
when
his
mother
is
gone
--
a
great
comfort
,
Miss
Shirley
.
"
"
Janet
is
a
lovely
woman
,
"
said
Anne
warmly
.

"
Lovely
!
A
beautiful
character
,
"
assented
Mrs.
Douglas
.
"
And
a
perfect
housekeeper
--
something
I
never
was
.
My
health
would
not
permit
it
,
Miss
Shirley
.
I
am
indeed
thankful
that
John
has
made
such
a
wise
choice
.
I
hope
and
believe
that
he
will
be
happy
.
He
is
my
only
son
,
Miss
Shirley
,
and
his
happiness
lies
very
near
my
heart
.
"
"
Of
course
,
"
said
Anne
stupidly
.
For
the
first
time
in
her
life
she
was
stupid
.
Yet
she
could
not
imagine
why
.
She
seemed
to
have
absolutely
nothing
to
say
to
this
sweet
,
smiling
,
angelic
old
lady
who
was
patting
her
hand
so
kindly
.
"
Come
and
see
me
soon
again
,
dear
Janet
,
"
said
Mrs.
Douglas
lovingly
,
when
they
left
.
"
You
do
n't
come
half
often
enough
.
But
then
I
suppose
John
will
be
bringing
you
here
to
stay
all
the
time
one
of
these
days
.
"
Anne
,
happening
to
glance
at
John
Douglas
,
as
his
mother
spoke
,
gave
a
positive
start
of
dismay
.
He
looked
as
a
tortured
man
might
look
when
his
tormentors
gave
the
rack
the
last
turn
of
possible
endurance
.
She
felt
sure
he
must
be
ill
and
hurried
poor
blushing
Janet
away
.
"
Is
n't
old
Mrs.
Douglas
a
sweet
woman
?
"
asked
Janet
,
as
they
went
down
the
road

M

,
"
answered
Anne
absently
.
She
was
wondering
why
John
Douglas
had
looked
so
.
"
She
's
been
a
terrible
sufferer
,
"
said
Janet
feelingly
.
"
She
takes
terrible
spells
.
It
keeps
John
all
worried
up
.
He
's
scared
to
leave
home
for
fear
his
mother
will
take
a
spell
and
nobody
there
but
the
hired
girl
.
"
Three
days
later
Anne
came
home
from
school
and
found
Janet
crying
.
Tears
and
Janet
seemed
so
incongruous
that
Anne
was
honestly
alarmed
.
