In the forenoon letters and gifts came from Miss Lavendar and Paul ; Anne opened them in the cheerful Green Gables kitchen , which was filled with what Davy , sniffing in ecstasy , called `` pretty smells . '' `` Miss Lavendar and Mr. Irving are settled in their new home now , '' reported Anne . `` I am sure Miss Lavendar is perfectly happy -- I know it by the general tone of her letter -- but there 's a note from Charlotta the Fourth . She does n't like Boston at all , and she is fearfully homesick . Miss Lavendar wants me to go through to Echo Lodge some day while I 'm home and light a fire to air it , and see that the cushions are n't getting moldy . I think I 'll get Diana to go over with me next week , and we can spend the evening with Theodora Dix . I want to see Theodora . By the way , is Ludovic Speed still going to see her ? '' `` They say so , '' said Marilla , `` and he 's likely to continue it . Folks have given up expecting that that courtship will ever arrive anywhere . '' `` I 'd hurry him up a bit , if I was Theodora , that 's what , '' said Mrs. Lynde . And there is not the slightest doubt but that she would . There was also a characteristic scrawl from Philippa , full of Alec and Alonzo , what they said and what they did , and how they looked when they saw her . `` But I ca n't make up my mind yet which to marry , '' wrote Phil . `` I do wish you had come with me to decide for me . Some one will have to . When I saw Alec my heart gave a great thump and I thought , ` He might be the right one . ' And then , when Alonzo came , thump went my heart again . So that 's no guide , though it should be , according to all the novels I 've ever read . Now , Anne , YOUR heart would n't thump for anybody but the genuine Prince Charming , would it ?
There must be something radically wrong XXXXX mine .
