Please do . I believe , '' Anne added , laughing , `` that you 'd like me if you knew me . '' `` I wonder if YOU would like ME , '' said Leslie seriously . She was not fishing for a compliment . She looked out across the waves that were beginning to be garlanded with blossoms of moonlit foam , and her eyes filled with shadows . `` I 'm sure I would , '' said Anne . `` And please do n't think I 'm utterly irresponsible because you saw me dancing on the shore at sunset . No doubt I shall be dignified after a time . You see , I have n't been married very long . I feel like a girl , and sometimes like a child , yet . '' `` I have been married twelve years , '' said Leslie . Here was another unbelievable thing . `` Why , you ca n't be as old as I am ! '' exclaimed Anne . `` You must have been a child when you were married . '' `` I was sixteen , '' said Leslie , rising , and picking up the cap and jacket lying beside her . `` I am twenty-eight now . Well , I must go back . '' `` So must I. Gilbert will probably be home . But I 'm so glad we both came to the shore tonight and met each other . ''
Leslie said nothing , and XXXXX was a little chilled .
