`` I 'm going to kick this hat about the room until it is without form and void ; and I shall never as long as I live wear anything of that shade of green again . '' `` You 've certainly kept your vow pluckily , '' laughed Miss Oliver . `` It was n't pluck -- it was sheer obstinacy -- I 'm rather ashamed of it , '' said Rilla , kicking joyously . `` I wanted to show mother . It 's mean to want to show your own mother -- most unfilial conduct ! But I have shown her . And I 've shown myself a few things ! Oh , Miss Oliver , just for one moment I 'm really feeling quite young again -- young and frivolous and silly . Did I ever say November was an ugly month ? Why it 's the most beautiful month in the whole year . Listen to the bells ringing in Rainbow Valley ! I never heard them so clearly . They 're ringing for peace -- and new happiness -- and all the dear , sweet , sane , homey things that we can have again now , Miss Oliver . Not that I am sane just now -- I do n't pretend to be . The whole world is having a little crazy spell today . Soon we 'll sober down -- and ` keep faith ' -- and begin to build up our new world . But just for today let 's be mad and glad . '' Susan came in from the outdoor sunlight looking supremely satisfied . `` Mr. Hyde is gone , '' she announced . `` Gone !
Do you mean he is dead , XXXXX ? ''
