"Oh, it's delightful to be living in a storybook," she thought gaily. "It will come out all right of course. . .it must. . .and Paul will have a mother after his own heart and everybody will be happy. But Mr. Irving will take Miss Lavendar away. . .and dear knows what will happen to the little stone house. . .and so there are two sides to it, as there seems to be to everything in this world." The important note was written and Anne herself carried it to the Grafton post office, where she waylaid the mail carrier and asked him to leave it at the Avonlea office. "It's so very important," Anne assured him anxiously. The mail carrier was a rather grumpy old personage who did not at all look the part of a messenger of Cupid; and Anne was none too certain that his memory was to be trusted. But he said he would do his best to remember and she had to be contented with that. Charlotta the Fourth felt that some mystery pervaded the stone house that afternoon. . .a mystery from which she was excluded. Miss Lavendar roamed about the garden in a distracted fashion. Anne, too, seemed possessed by a demon of unrest, and walked to and fro and went up and down. Charlotta the Fourth endured it till atience ceased to be a virtue; then she confronted Anne on the occasion of that romantic young person's third aimless peregrination through the kitchen. |
