There had been doings at St Agathas that night
She was still more amazed when mother said, quickly and vehemently,I hate it!
You get that stubborn will of yours from your father, she said,her face twisted with anger.
Having left Toronto on the morning train, they were inCharlottetown by mid-afternoon.
She released the cat who stood looking squiffily about. Her grandmother wants to cut that cat out.
She got up in the night to re-read the letters they were in. Frosty starsgleaming out in still frostier evening blue over quiet fieldsthinly white with snow. Therewere misty, pale green woods over the river.
Everybody looked at Jane as if they expected her to go into spasmsof delight. For the moment she looked simply likea very shrewish old spitfire.
Mins mas cow was worn out and Mins ma wasgoing to get a new one. Im so glad your father put the telephone in for you
Dont let the cat out, shrieked breathless, pursuing Jane. Jane was sorry when they got offat Bloor for that meant they were comparatively near home.
I agree with your grandmother that there is nothingmore to be said. They senther little gifts which gave her far more delight than the fine onesshe got in Toronto.
And from that same hill theycaught their first far-away glimpse of Lantern Hill.
Oh, Jane,I wish you could see the pussy-willows in our swamp. He had to be more pampered than ababy, said Mary.
Frosty starsgleaming out in still frostier evening blue over quiet fieldsthinly white with snow. They went to lunch at Uncle Davids and there was a copy ofSaturday Evening in the library.
I had the vet for him but he could donothing. But shes met her match at last or Im mistaken.
A letter from home, said Jane thoughtlessly. She released the cat who stood looking squiffily about.
She picked up the card Ding-dong had sent Jane.
Snowball looked so little desirous of pity. Just think, reflected Jane happily, in a week Ill be on QueensShore. She knew what dad thought about her bones.
The supper shegot up for Phyllis made that damsel open her eyes. It had been an early spring andall the blossom show was over.
Were all so glad youre coming back this summer, Jane. I think that between a summer in Englandand a summer in a hut in a country settlement on P. Her grandmother wants to cut that cat out.
Mary and Frankhad discussed that cat in the kitchen.
Let me make the croquettes for lunch, Mary, she begged one day. Dad thought the budget would stretch to a potato-ricer.
