I 'll be more than thankful when the crop is in and Mr. Barry takes over the farm . We 'll have to keep Dolly shut up in the pen till Martin comes , for she must be put in the back pasture and the fences there have to be fixed . I declare , it is a world of trouble , as Rachel says . Here 's poor Mary Keith dying and what is to become of those two children of hers is more than I know . She has a brother in British Columbia and she has written to him about them , but she has n't heard from him yet . '' `` What are the children like ? How old are they ? '' `` Six past ... they 're twins . '' `` Oh , I 've always been especially interested in twins ever since Mrs. Hammond had so many , '' said Anne eagerly . `` Are they pretty ? '' `` Goodness , you could n't tell ... they were too dirty . Davy had been out making mud pies and Dora went out to call him in . Davy pushed her headfirst into the biggest pie and then , because she cried , he got into it himself and wallowed in it to show her it was nothing to cry about . Mary said Dora was really a very good child but that Davy was full of mischief . He has never had any bringing up you might say . His father died when he was a baby and Mary has been sick almost ever since . '' `` I 'm always sorry for children that have no bringing up , '' said Anne soberly . `` You know I had n't any till you took me in hand . I hope their uncle will look after them . Just what relation is Mrs. Keith to you ? ''
