She and Diana both laughed enough that afternoon , for I told them , under solemn promise of secrecy , all about poor Prissy 's love affair . So nothing would do them but they must go over with me . The appearance of the house amazed me . All the shutters were closed and the door locked . I knocked and knocked , but there was no answer . Then I walked around the house to the only window that had n't shutters -- a tiny one upstairs . I knew it was the window in the closet off the room where the girls slept . I stopped under it and called Prissy . Before long Prissy came and opened it . She was so pale and woe-begone looking that I pitied her with all my heart . `` Prissy , where has Emmeline gone ? '' I asked . `` Down to Avonlea to see the Roger Pyes . They 're sick with measles , and Emmeline could n't take me because I 've never had measles . '' Poor Prissy ! She had never had anything a body ought to have . `` Then you just come and unfasten a shutter , and come right over to my house , '' I said exultantly . `` We 'll have Stephen and the minister here in no time . '' `` I ca n't -- Em ` line has locked me in here , '' said Prissy woefully . I was posed .
No living mortal bigger than a baby could have got XXXXX or out of that closet window .
