Gilbert 's people , and Mr. and Mrs. Allan , and Mr. and Mrs. Harrison . '' `` There was a time when you 'd hardly have numbered Mr. Harrison among your dearest friends , '' said Marilla drily . `` Well , I was n't VERY strongly attracted to him at our first meeting , '' acknowledged Anne , with a laugh over the recollection . `` But Mr. Harrison has improved on acquaintance , and Mrs. Harrison is really a dear . Then , of course , there are Miss Lavendar and Paul . '' `` Have they decided to come to the Island this summer ? I thought they were going to Europe . '' `` They changed their minds when I wrote them I was going to be married . I had a letter from Paul today . He says he MUST come to my wedding , no matter what happens to Europe . '' `` That child always idolised you , '' remarked Mrs. Rachel . `` That ` child ' is a young man of nineteen now , Mrs. Lynde . '' `` How time does fly ! '' was Mrs. Lynde 's brilliant and original response . `` Charlotta the Fourth may come with them . She sent word by Paul that she would come if her husband would let her . I wonder if she still wears those enormous blue bows , and whether her husband calls her Charlotta or Leonora . I should love to have Charlotta at my wedding . Charlotta and I were at a wedding long syne . They expect to be at Echo Lodge next week .
Then there are Phil and the Reverend Jo -- '' `` It sounds awful to hear you speaking of a minister like that , XXXXX , '' said Mrs. Rachel severely .
