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 Jim . `` Sit down -- sit down . I 'm afeared it 's mighty dusty here today -- but there 's no need of looking at dust when you can look at such scenery , is there ? '' `` I do n't mind the dust , '' said Anne , `` but Gilbert says I must keep in the open air . I think I 'll go and sit on the rocks down there . '' `` Would you like company or would you rather be alone ? '' `` If by company you mean yours I 'd much rather have it than be alone , '' said Anne , smiling . Then she sighed . She had never before minded being alone . Now she dreaded it . When she was alone now she felt so dreadfully alone . `` Here 's a nice little spot where the wind ca n't get at you , '' said Captain Jim , when they reached the rocks . `` I often sit here . It 's a great place jest to sit and dream . '' `` Oh -- dreams , '' sighed Anne . `` I ca n't dream now , Captain Jim -- I 'm done with dreams . ''
`` Oh , no , you 're not , Mistress Blythe -- oh , no , you 're not , '' said Captain XXXXX meditatively .
