Our name is Chapley . '' Poor Rilla fell back on her pillow , quite overcome . `` I beg your pardon , '' she said . `` I -- I -- thought the Brewsters lived here . Mrs. Brewster is a friend of mine . I am Rilla Blythe -- Dr. Blythe 's daughter from Glen St. Mary . I -- I was going to town with my -- my -- this little boy -- and he fell off the train -- and I jumped off after him -- and nobody knew of it . I knew we could n't get home last night and a storm was coming up -- so we came here and when we found nobody at home -- we -- we -- just got in through the window and -- and -- made ourselves at home . '' `` So it seems , '' said the woman sarcastically . `` A likely story , '' said the man . `` We were n't born yesterday , '' added the woman . Madam Black-and-White did n't say anything ; but when the other two made their pretty speeches she doubled up in a silent convulsion of mirth , shaking her head from side to side and beating the air with her hands . Rilla , stung by the disagreeable attitude of the Chapleys , regained her self-possession and lost her temper . She sat up in bed and said in her haughtiest voice , `` I do not know when you were born , or where , but it must have been somewhere where very peculiar manners were taught . If you will have the decency to leave my room -- er -- this room -- until I can get up and dress I shall not transgress upon your hospitality '' -- Rilla was killingly sarcastic -- `` any longer . And I shall pay you amply for the food we have eaten and the night 's lodging I have taken . '' The black-and-white apparition went through the motion of clapping her hands , but not a sound did she make . Perhaps Mr. Chapley was cowed by Rilla 's tone -- or perhaps he was appeased at the prospect of payment ; at all events , he spoke more civilly . `` Well , that 's fair . If you pay up it 's all right . ''
`` She shall do no such thing as pay you , '' said Madam Black-and-White in a surprisingly clear , resolute , authoritative tone XXXXX voice .
