  1. L.M. Montgomery _ Emily's Quest

    For, disguise the fact as we will, when friends, even the closest-perhaps the more because of that very closeness-meet again after a separation there is always a chill, lesser or greater, of change. Neither finds the other quite the same. This is natural and inevitable. Human nature is ever growing or retrogressing-never stationary.

    Stop a bit and think it over. There do be some knots mighty aisy to tie but the untying is a cat of a different brade.

    It is hard to understand why work should be called a curse-until one remembers what bitterness forced or uncongenial labour is. But the work for which we are fitted-which we feel we are sent into the world to do-what a blessing it is and what fullness of joy it holds.

    Such presumption," said Aunt Laura, meaning for a Dix to aspire to a Murray. "It wasn't because of his presumption I packed him off," said Emily. "It was because of the way he made love. He made a thing ugly that should have been beautiful." "I suppose you wouldn't have him because he didn't propose romantically," said Aunt Elizabeth contemptuously. "No. I think my real reason was that I felt sure he was the kind of man who would give his wife a vacuum cleaner for a Christmas present," vowed Emily.

    Can you expect me to be just when you've just killed me? Oh, I know I asked for it--I know it's good for me. Horrible things always are good for you, I suppose. After you've been killed a few times you don't mind it. But the first time one does--squirm. Go away, Dean. Don't come back for a week at least. The funeral will be over then.""Don't you believe I know what this means to you, Star?" asked Dean pityingly."You can't--altogether. Oh, I know you're sympathetic. I don't want sympathy. I only want time to bury myself decently.

    This afternoon I sat at my window and alternately wrote at my new serial and watched a couple of dear, amusing, youngish maple-trees at the foot of the garden. They whispered secrets to each other all the afternoon. They would bend together and talk earnestly for a few moments, then spring back and look at each other, throwing up their hands comically in horror and amazement over their mutual revelations. I wonder what new scandal is afoot in Treeland.

    Most young men are such bores. They haven't lived long enough to learn that they are not the wonders to the world they are to their mothers.
