"Davy," said Anne despairingly, "haven't you sense enough to distinguish between a fairytale and a falsehood ?" "Then what is it that sasses back from the Boulter bush? I want to know," insisted Davy. "When you are a little older, Davy, I'll explain it all to you."

Who is the lady ?" "Stella Fletcher; she's in my class at school.
And say, Anne, she's the prettiest girl you ever saw.
If I die before I grow up you'll keep an eye on her, won't you ?" "Davy Keith, do stop talking such nonsense," said Marilla severely. "'Tisn't nonsense," protested Davy in an injured tone.
