Could
she
say
anything
?
"
I
think
,
Ruby
,
"
she
began
hesitatingly
--
for
it
was
difficult
for
Anne
to
speak
to
any
one
of
the
deepest
thoughts
of
her
heart
,
or
the
new
ideas
that
had
vaguely
begun
to
shape
themselves
in
her
mind
,
concerning
the
great
mysteries
of
life
here
and
hereafter
,
superseding
her
old
childish
conceptions
,
and
it
was
hardest
of
all
to
speak
of
them
to
such
as
Ruby
Gillis
--
"
I
think
,
perhaps
,
we
have
very
mistaken
ideas
about
heaven
--
what
it
is
and
what
it
holds
for
us
.
I
do
n't
think
it
can
be
so
very
different
from
life
here
as
most
people
seem
to
think
.
I
believe
we
'll
just
go
on
living
,
a
good
deal
as
we
live
here
--
and
be
OURSELVES
just
the
same
--
only
it
will
be
easier
to
be
good
and
to
--
follow
the
highest
.
All
the
hindrances
and
perplexities
will
be
taken
away
,
and
we
shall
see
clearly
.
Do
n't
be
afraid
,
Ruby
.
"
842
"
I
ca
n't
help
it
,
"
said
Ruby
pitifully
.
"
Even
if
what
you
say
about
heaven
is
true
--
and
you
ca
n't
be
sure
--
it
may
be
only
that
imagination
of
yours
--
it
wo
n't
be
JUST
the
same
.
It
CA
N'T
be
.
I
want
to
go
on
living
HERE
.
I
'm
so
young
,
Anne
.
I
have
n't
had
my
life
.
I
've
fought
so
hard
to
live
--
and
it
is
n't
any
use
--
I
have
to
die
--
and
leave
EVERYTHING
I
care
for
.
"
Anne
sat
in
a
pain
that
was
almost
intolerable
.
She
could
not
tell
comforting
falsehoods
;
and
all
that
Ruby
said
was
so
horribly
true
.
She
WAS
leaving
everything
she
cared
for
.
843
She
had
laid
up
her
treasures
on
earth
only
;
she
had
lived
solely
for
the
little
things
of
life
--
the
things
that
pass
--
forgetting
the
great
things
that
go
onward
into
eternity
,
bridging
the
gulf
between
the
two
lives
and
making
of
death
a
mere
passing
from
one
dwelling
to
the
other
--
from
twilight
to
unclouded
day
.
God
would
take
care
of
her
there
--
Anne
believed
--
she
would
learn
--
but
now
it
was
no
wonder
her
soul
clung
,
in
blind
helplessness
,
to
the
only
things
she
knew
and
loved
.

Ruby
raised
herself
on
her
arm
and
lifted
up
her
bright
,
beautiful
blue
eyes
to
the
moonlit
skies
.
845
"
I
want
to
live
,
"
she
said
,
in
a
trembling
voice
.
"
I
want
to
live
like
other
girls
.
I
--
I
want
to
be
married
,
Anne
--
and
--
and
--
have
little
children
.
You
know
I
always
loved
babies
,
Anne
.
I
could
n't
say
this
to
any
one
but
you
.
I
know
you
understand
.
And
then
poor
Herb
--
he
--
he
loves
me
and
I
love
him
,
Anne
.
The
others
meant
nothing
to
me
,
but
HE
does
--
and
if
I
could
live
I
would
be
his
wife
and
be
so
happy
.
Oh
,
Anne
,
it
's
hard
.
"
846
Ruby
sank
back
on
her
pillows
and
sobbed
convulsively
.
Anne
pressed
her
hand
in
an
agony
of
sympathy
--
silent
sympathy
,
which
perhaps
helped
Ruby
more
than
broken
,
imperfect
words
could
have
done
;
for
presently
she
grew
calmer
and
her
sobs
ceased
.
847
"
I
'm
glad
I
've
told
you
this
,
Anne
,
"
she
whispered
.
"
It
has
helped
me
just
to
say
it
all
out
.
I
've
wanted
to
all
summer
--
every
time
you
came
.
I
wanted
to
talk
it
over
with
you
--
but
I
COULD
N'T
.
It
seemed
as
if
it
would
make
death
so
SURE
if
I
SAID
I
was
going
to
die
,
or
if
any
one
else
said
it
or
hinted
it
.
I
would
n't
say
it
,
or
even
think
it
.

In
the
daytime
,
when
people
were
around
me
and
everything
was
cheerful
,
it
was
n't
so
hard
to
keep
from
thinking
of
it
.
But
in
the
night
,
when
I
could
n't
sleep
--
it
was
so
dreadful
,
Anne
.
I
could
n't
get
away
from
it
then
.
Death
just
came
and
stared
me
in
the
face
,
until
I
got
so
frightened
I
could
have
screamed
.
849
"
But
you
wo
n't
be
frightened
any
more
,
Ruby
,
will
you
?
You
'll
be
brave
,
and
believe
that
all
is
going
to
be
well
with
you
.
"
850
"
I
'll
try
.
I
'll
think
over
what
you
have
said
,
and
try
to
believe
it
.
And
you
'll
come
up
as
often
as
you
can
,
wo
n't
you
,
Anne
?
"
