Anne
followed
them
meekly
home
and
slipped
in
by
the
back
door
.
"
Well
,
you
are
a
nice
person
to
back
me
up
,
"
said
Janet
sarcastically
.
"
I
could
n't
help
it
,
Janet
,
"
said
Anne
repentantly
.
"
I
just
felt
as
if
I
had
stood
by
and
seen
murder
done
.
I
HAD
to
run
after
him
.

"
Oh
,
I
'm
just
as
glad
you
did
.
When
I
saw
John
Douglas
making
off
down
that
road
I
just
felt
as
if
every
little
bit
of
joy
and
happiness
that
was
left
in
my
life
was
going
with
him
.
It
was
an
awful
feeling
.
"
"
Did
he
ask
you
why
you
did
it
?
"
asked
Anne
.
"
No
,
he
never
said
a
word
about
it
,
"
replied
Janet
dully
.
Anne
was
not
without
a
feeble
hope
that
something
might
come
of
it
after
all
.
But
nothing
did
.
John
Douglas
came
and
took
Janet
driving
,
and
walked
home
from
prayer-meeting
with
her
,
as
he
had
been
doing
for
twenty
years
,
and
as
he
seemed
likely
to
do
for
twenty
years
more
.
The
summer
waned
.
Anne
taught
her
school
and
wrote
letters
and
studied
a
little
.
Her
walks
to
and
from
school
were
pleasant
.
She
always
went
by
way
of
the
swamp
;
it
was
a
lovely
place
--
a
boggy
soil
,
green
with
the
greenest
of
mossy
hillocks
;
a
silvery
brook
meandered
through
it
and
spruces
stood
erectly
,
their
boughs
a-trail
with
gray-green
mosses
,
their
roots
overgrown
with
all
sorts
of
woodland
lovelinesses
.

Nevertheless
,
Anne
found
life
in
Valley
Road
a
little
monotonous
.
To
be
sure
,
there
was
one
diverting
incident
.
She
had
not
seen
the
lank
,
tow-headed
Samuel
of
the
peppermints
since
the
evening
of
his
call
,
save
for
chance
meetings
on
the
road
.
But
one
warm
August
night
he
appeared
,
and
solemnly
seated
himself
on
the
rustic
bench
by
the
porch
.
He
wore
his
usual
working
habiliments
,
consisting
of
varipatched
trousers
,
a
blue
jean
shirt
,
out
at
the
elbows
,
and
a
ragged
straw
hat
.
He
was
chewing
a
straw
and
he
kept
on
chewing
it
while
he
looked
solemnly
at
Anne
.
Anne
laid
her
book
aside
with
a
sigh
and
took
up
her
doily
.
Conversation
with
Sam
was
really
out
of
the
question
.
After
a
long
silence
Sam
suddenly
spoke
.
