I remember 'em . They both died of fever at onct . It was turrible sad . They left a baby . I guess it 's dead long ago . It was a sickly thing . Old Thomas and his wife took it -- as if they had n't enough of their own . '' `` It did n't die , '' said Anne , smiling . `` I was that baby . '' `` You do n't say so ! Why , you have grown , '' exclaimed the woman , as if she were much surprised that Anne was not still a baby . `` Come to look at you , I see the resemblance . You 're complected like your pa . He had red hair . But you favor your ma in your eyes and mouth . She was a nice little thing . My darter went to school to her and was nigh crazy about her . They was buried in the one grave and the School Board put up a tombstone to them as a reward for faithful service . Will you come in ? '' `` Will you let me go all over the house ? ''
asked XXXXX eagerly .
