It IS out-of-the-way , so it 's likely some poor , shiftless , wandering family will rent it -- and over-run it -- and oh , that would be desecration . It would hurt me horribly . '' `` I know . But we can not sacrifice our own interests to such considerations , Anne-girl . The Morgan place will suit us in every essential particular -- we really ca n't afford to miss such a chance . Think of that big lawn with those magnificent old trees ; and of that splendid hardwood grove behind it -- twelve acres of it . What a play place for our children ! There 's a fine orchard , too , and you 've always admired that high brick wall around the garden with the door in it -- you 've thought it was so like a story-book garden . And there is almost as fine a view of the harbor and the dunes from the Morgan place as from here . '' `` You ca n't see the lighthouse star from it . '' `` Yes , You can see it from the attic window . THERE 'S another advantage , Anne-girl -- you love big garrets . '' `` There 's no brook in the garden . '' `` Well , no , but there is one running through the maple grove into the Glen pond . And the pond itself is n't far away . You 'll be able to fancy you have your own Lake of Shining Waters again . '' `` Well , do n't say anything more about it just now , Gilbert . Give me time to think -- to get used to the idea . '' `` All right . There is no great hurry , of course .
Only -- if we decide XXXXX buy , it would be well to be moved in and settled before winter . ''
