CHAPTER XXII
9/10

But you can never see her.

She flies afar if you follow her, and laughs at you always just over the next hill." "Is that true, Anne?
Or is it a whopper ?" demanded Davy staring.
"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." The mention of age evidently gave a new turn to Davy's thoughts for after a few moments of reflection, he whispered solemnly: "Anne, I'm going to be married." "When ?" asked Anne with equal solemnity.
"Oh, not until I'm grown-up, of course." "Well, that's a relief, Davy.

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.
