She felt as if he had been thrust far away from her
bythis influx of Murrays.
Emily wanted to goand explore it, but was afraid to
trust herself in the pasture.
Elizabeth has some pet economiesand writing-paper
of any kind is one of them.
We are not paupers at New Moon, said Aunt Elizabeth
rathercoldly.
She couldnt understandwhy anybody should want a
cat. What are you staring at nothing in that queer way for? Books were Emilys
friends wherever she found them. There are barn cats at New Moon, but they are
neverallowed in the house. Most of the furniture belongs to the house, she said, so
itwont take us long to get ready.
And Aunt Lauras eyes were very, very blue and deep
and kind.
Emily had never seen a kitchen like this
before.
The garden was a beautiful place, well worthy
Cousin Jimmys pride.
Ellen was going back to her own little house
inMaywood village and she wanted a cat. Of course, as far as the matter of expense
goes, Elizabeth,Ill do my share. They stopped in Charlottetown and had
dinner.
And theyre theonly things left in the world that
love me.
AuntElizabeth announced that they would stay until
the next day to packup and take Emily with them.
Oh, all right, agreed Emily cheerfully, Ill only
kiss her whenyou dont see me after this.
Was it any wonder that fora moment or so she was
too paralysed to reply!
Its no use to ask me when thespirit dont move
me.
But havent you any money of your own, Cousin Jimmy?
After dinner Aunt Elizabeth announced to Aunt Laura that they woulddo some shopping.
Emily wondered if she could see it inthe air.
It was asnow-white little building in a clump of
tall balm-of-gileads.
