I suppose he has been masquerading as a bachelor and breaking hearts right and left . Well , well , James A. , '' nodding vigorously over the fields at the long white house , `` your fun is over . I am here ... though I would n't have bothered coming if I had n't thought you were up to some mischief . I suppose , '' turning to Anne , `` that parrot of his is as profane as ever ? '' `` His parrot ... is dead ... I THINK , '' gasped poor Anne , who could n't have felt sure of her own name at that precise moment . `` Dead ! Everything will be all right then , '' cried the rosy lady jubilantly . `` I can manage James A. if that bird is out of the way . '' With which cryptic utterance she went joyfully on her way and Anne flew to the kitchen door to meet Marilla . `` Anne , who was that woman ? '' `` Marilla , '' said Anne solemnly , but with dancing eyes , `` do I look as if I were crazy ? '' `` Not more so than usual , '' said Marilla , with no thought of being sarcastic . `` Well then , do you think I am awake ? '' `` Anne , what nonsense has got into you ? Who was that woman , I say ? '' `` Marilla , if I 'm not crazy and not asleep she ca n't be such stuff as dreams are made of ... she must be real . Anyway , I 'm sure I could n't have imagined such a bonnet .
She says she is Mr. Harrison 's wife , XXXXX . ''
