I

wonder

if

the

ghost

of

all

our

laughter

will

echo

through

the

maiden

dreams

of

Miss

Patty

and

Miss

Maria

,

"

speculated

Phil

.

Miss

Patty

and

Miss

Maria

were

coming

home

,

after

having

trotted

over

most

of

the

habitable

globe

.

"

We

'll

be

back

the

second

week

in

May

"

wrote

Miss

Patty

.

"

I

expect

Patty

's

Place

will

seem

rather

small

after

the

Hall

of

the

Kings

at

Karnak

,

but

I

never

did

like

big

places

to

live

in

.

And

I

'll

be

glad

enough

to

be

home

again

.

When

you

start

traveling

late

in

life

you

're

apt

to

do

too

much

of

it

because

you

know

you

have

n't

much

time

left

,

and

it

's

a

thing

that

grows

on

you

.

I

'm

afraid

Maria

will

never

be

contented

again

.

I

shall

leave

here

my

fancies

and

dreams

to

bless

the

next

comer

,

"

said

Anne

,

looking

around

the

blue

room

wistfully

--

her

pretty

blue

room

where

she

had

spent

three

such

happy

years

.

She

had

knelt

at

its

window

to

pray

and

had

bent

from

it

to

watch

the

sunset

behind

the

pines

.

She

had

heard

the

autumn

raindrops

beating

against

it

and

had

welcomed

the

spring

robins

at

its

sill

.

She

wondered

if

old

dreams

could

haunt

rooms

--

if

,

when

one

left

forever

the

room

where

she

had

joyed

and

suffered

and

laughed

and

wept

,

something

of

her

,

intangible

and

invisible

,

yet

nonetheless

real

,

did

not

remain

behind

like

a

voiceful

memory

.

"

I

think

,

"

said

Phil

,

"

that

a

room

where

one

dreams

and

grieves

and

rejoices

and

lives

becomes

inseparably

connected

with

those

processes

and

acquires

a

personality

of

its

own

.

I

am

sure

if

I

came

into

this

room

fifty

years

from

now

it

would

say

'

Anne

,

Anne

'

to

me

.

What

nice

times

we

've

had

here

,

honey

!

What

chats

and

jokes

and

good

chummy

jamborees

!

Oh

,

dear

me

!

I

'm

to

marry

Jo

in

June

and

I

know

I

will

be

rapturously

happy

.

But

just

now

I

feel

as

if

I

wanted

this

lovely

Redmond

life

to

go

on

forever

.

"

"

I

'm

unreasonable

enough

just

now

to

wish

that

,

too

,

"

admitted

Anne

.

"

No

matter

what

deeper

joys

may

come

to

us

later

on

we

'll

never

again

have

just

the

same

delightful

,

irresponsible

existence

we

've

had

here

.

It

's

over

forever

,

Phil

.

"

"

What

are

you

going

to

do

with

Rusty

?

"

asked

Phil

,

as

that

privileged

pussy

padded

into

the

room

.

"

I

am

going

to

take

him

home

with

me

and

Joseph

and

the

Sarah-cat

,

"

announced

Aunt

Jamesina

,

following

Rusty

.

"

It

would

be

a

shame

to

separate

those

cats

now

that

they

have

learned

to

live

together

.

It

's

a

hard

lesson

for

cats

and

humans

to

learn

.

"

"

I

'm

sorry

to

part

with

Rusty

,

"

said

Anne

regretfully

,

"

but

it

would

be

no

use

to

take

him

to

Green

Gables

.

Marilla

detests

cats

,

and

Davy

would

tease

his

life

out

.

Besides

,

I

do

n't

suppose

I

'll

be

home

very

long

.

I

've

been

offered

the

principalship

of

the

Summerside

High

School

.

"

"

Are

you

going

to

accept

it

?

"

asked

Phil

.
