`` Sixty ! It might as well be six hundred , '' sighed Diana . `` I never can get further from home now than Charlottetown . '' `` You 'll have to come to Four Winds . It 's the most beautiful harbor on the Island . There 's a little village called Glen St. Mary at its head , and Dr. David Blythe has been practicing there for fifty years . He is Gilbert 's great-uncle , you know . He is going to retire , and Gilbert is to take over his practice . Dr. Blythe is going to keep his house , though , so we shall have to find a habitation for ourselves . I do n't know yet what it is , or where it will be in reality , but I have a little house o'dreams all furnished in my imagination -- a tiny , delightful castle in Spain . '' `` Where are you going for your wedding tour ? '' asked Diana . `` Nowhere . Do n't look horrified , Diana dearest . You suggest Mrs. Harmon Andrews . She , no doubt , will remark condescendingly that people who ca n't afford wedding ` towers ' are real sensible not to take them ; and then she 'll remind me that Jane went to Europe for hers . I want to spend MY honeymoon at Four Winds in my own dear house of dreams . '' `` And you 've decided not to have any bridesmaid ? '' `` There is n't any one to have . You and Phil and Priscilla and Jane all stole a march on me in the matter of marriage ; and Stella is teaching in Vancouver .
I have no other ` kindred soul ' and I wo n't have a XXXXX who is n't . ''
