If he HAD to drown himself there was plenty of water in the harbor , was n't there ? I 've no patience with a man like that . We 've only had two suicides in Four Winds in my recollection . The other was Frank West -- Leslie Moore 's father . By the way , has Leslie ever been over to call on you yet ? '' `` No , but I met her on the shore a few nights ago and we scraped an acquaintance , '' said Anne , pricking up her ears . Miss Cornelia nodded . `` I 'm glad , dearie . I was hoping you 'd foregather with her . What do you think of her ? '' `` I thought her very beautiful . '' `` Oh , of course . There was never anybody about Four Winds could touch her for looks . Did you ever see her hair ? It reaches to her feet when she lets it down . But I meant how did you like her ? '' `` I think I could like her very much if she 'd let me , '' said Anne slowly . `` But she would n't let you -- she pushed you off and kept you at arm 's length .
Poor XXXXX !
