'' CHAPTER 25 THE WRITING OF THE BOOK Owen Ford came over to the little house the next morning in a state of great excitement . `` Mrs. Blythe , this is a wonderful book -- absolutely wonderful . If I could take it and use the material for a book I feel certain I could make the novel of the year out of it . Do you suppose Captain Jim would let me do it ? '' `` Let you ! I 'm sure he would be delighted , '' cried Anne . `` I admit that it was what was in my head when I took you down last night . Captain Jim has always been wishing he could get somebody to write his life-book properly for him . '' `` Will you go down to the Point with me this evening , Mrs. Blythe ? I 'll ask him about that life-book myself , but I want you to tell him that you told me the story of lost Margaret and ask him if he will let me use it as a thread of romance with which to weave the stories of the life-book into a harmonious whole . '' Captain Jim was more excited than ever when Owen Ford told him of his plan . At last his cherished dream was to be realized and his `` life-book '' given to the world . He was also pleased that the story of lost Margaret should be woven into it . `` It will keep her name from being forgotten , '' he said wistfully . `` That 's why I want it put in . '' `` We 'll collaborate , '' cried Owen delightedly . `` You will give the soul and I the body . Oh , we 'll write a famous book between us , Captain Jim .
And we 'll get right XXXXX work . ''
