You wo n't be so much my friend if you think much about it . ' `` I told him nothing could make me any less his friend . But he jest shook his head and says , says he : '' ` Lad , I know . I 've lost friends before because of this . I do n't blame them . There are times when I feel hardly friendly to myself because of it . Such a power has a bit of divinity in it -- whether of a good or an evil divinity who shall say ? And we mortals all shrink from too close contact with God or devil . ' `` Them was his words . I remember them as if 't was yesterday , though I did n't know jest what he meant . What do you s ` pose he DID mean , doctor ? '' `` I doubt if he knew what he meant himself , '' said Doctor Dave testily . `` I think I understand , '' whispered Anne . She was listening in her old attitude of clasped lips and shining eyes .

And everybody took an interest in his new house -- THIS house . He picked this site for it , because you could see the harbor and hear the sea from it . He made the garden out there for his bride , but he did n't plant the Lombardies . Mrs. Ned Russell planted THEM .
