Janet and Randall had had such fun over the cupboards . No stranger must ever come to be mistress of that house . Randall must marry Avery , and she must love him . Could anything be done to make her love him ? `` I believe I 'll go and see Granny Thomas , '' said Janet desperately . She thought this was a silly idea , but it still haunted her and would not be shaken off . Granny Thomas was a very old woman who lived at Burnley Cove and was reputed to be something of a witch . That is , people who were not Sparhallows or Burnleys gave her that name . Sparhallows or Burnleys , of course , were above believing in such nonsense . Janet was above believing it ; but still -- the sailors along shore were careful to `` keep on the good side '' of Granny Thomas , lest she brew an unfavourable wind for them , and there was much talk of love potions . Janet knew that people said Peggy Buchanan would never have got Jack McLeod if Granny had not given her a love potion . Jack had never looked at Peggy , though she was after him for years ; and then , all at once , he was quite mad about her -- and married her -- and wore her life out with jealousy . And Peggy , the homeliest of all the Buchanan girls ! There must be something in it . Janet made a sudden desperate resolve . She would go to Granny and ask her for a love potion to make Avery love Randall . If Granny could n't do any good , she could n't do any harm . Janet was a little afraid of her , and had never been near her house , but what would n't she do for Randall ? * * * * * Janet never lost much time in carrying out any resolution she made . The next afternoon she slipped away to visit Granny Thomas .
She put on her longest dress and did her hair up XXXXX the first time .
