But try to be brave -- for Gilbert 's sake . He 's so worried about you . You are n't getting strong as fast as you should . '' `` Oh , I know I 've been very selfish , '' sighed Anne . `` I love Gilbert more than ever -- and I want to live for his sake . But it seems as if part of me was buried over there in that little harbor graveyard -- and it hurts so much that I 'm afraid of life . '' `` It wo n't hurt so much always , Anne . '' `` The thought that it may stop hurting sometimes hurts me worse than all else , Marilla . '' `` Yes , I know , I 've felt that too , about other things . But we all love you , Anne . Captain Jim has been up every day to ask for you -- and Mrs. Moore haunts the place -- and Miss Bryant spends most of her time , I think , cooking up nice things for you . Susan does n't like it very well . She thinks she can cook as well as Miss Bryant . '' `` Dear Susan ! Oh , everybody has been so dear and good and lovely to me , Marilla . I 'm not ungrateful -- and perhaps -- when this horrible ache grows a little less -- I 'll find that I can go on living . '' CHAPTER 20 LOST MARGARET Anne found that she could go on living ; the day came when she even smiled again over one of Miss Cornelia 's speeches . But there was something in the smile that had never been in Anne 's smile before and would never be absent from it again . On the first day she was able to go for a drive Gilbert took her down to Four Winds Point , and left her there while he rowed over the channel to see a patient at the fishing village . A rollicking wind was scudding across the harbor and the dunes , whipping the water into white-caps and washing the sandshore with long lines of silvery breakers .
`` I 'm real proud to see you here again , Mistress Blythe , '' said Captain XXXXX .
