She stays here alone too much . Ca n't we induce her to go away for a little trip ? '' Charlotta shook her head , with its rampant bows , disconsolately . `` I do n't think so , Miss Shirley , ma'am . Miss Lavendar hates visiting . She 's only got three relations she ever visits and she says she just goes to see them as a family duty . Last time when she come home she said she was n't going to visit for family duty no more . ` I 've come home in love with loneliness , Charlotta , ' she says to me , ` and I never want to stray from my own vine and fig tree again . My relations try so hard to make an old lady of me and it has a bad effect on me . ' Just like that , Miss Shirley , ma'am . ` It has a very bad effect on me . ' So I do n't think it would do any good to coax her to go visiting . '' `` We must see what can be done , '' said Anne decidedly , as she put the last possible berry in her pink cup . `` Just as soon as I have my vacation I 'll come through and spend a whole week with you . We 'll have a picnic every day and pretend all sorts of interesting things , and see if we ca n't cheer Miss Lavendar up . '' `` That will be the very thing , Miss Shirley , ma'am , '' exclaimed Charlotta the Fourth in rapture . She was glad for Miss Lavendar 's sake and for her own too . With a whole week in which to study Anne constantly she would surely be able to learn how to move and behave like her .

Nothing ever tasted so delicious as those strawberries and cream , eaten under a great blue sky all curdled over with fluffy little white clouds , and in the long shadows of the wood with its lispings and its murmurings .
After tea Anne helped Charlotta wash the dishes XXXXX the kitchen , while Miss Lavendar sat on the stone bench with Paul and heard all about his rock people .
