Naturally Anne 's plans could not be settled until Roy had spoken . He would soon -- there was no doubt of that . And there was no doubt that Anne would say `` yes '' when he said `` Will you please ? '' Anne herself regarded the state of affairs with a seldom-ruffled complacency . She was deeply in love with Roy . True , it was not just what she had imagined love to be . But was anything in life , Anne asked herself wearily , like one 's imagination of it ? It was the old diamond disillusion of childhood repeated -- the same disappointment she had felt when she had first seen the chill sparkle instead of the purple splendor she had anticipated . `` That 's not my idea of a diamond , '' she had said . But Roy was a dear fellow and they would be very happy together , even if some indefinable zest was missing out of life . When Roy came down that evening and asked Anne to walk in the park every one at Patty 's Place knew what he had come to say ; and every one knew , or thought they knew , what Anne 's answer would be . `` Anne is a very fortunate girl , '' said Aunt Jamesina . `` I suppose so , '' said Stella , shrugging her shoulders . `` Roy is a nice fellow and all that . But there 's really nothing in him . '' `` That sounds very like a jealous remark , Stella Maynard , '' said Aunt Jamesina rebukingly . `` It does -- but I am not jealous , '' said Stella calmly . `` I love Anne and I like Roy . Everybody says she is making a brilliant match , and even Mrs. Gardner thinks her charming now . It all sounds as if it were made in heaven , but I have my doubts .
Make the most XXXXX that , Aunt Jamesina . ''
