`` If you get tired of our simple life you can leave us , and no questions asked , '' added Priscilla . Phil sprang up , hugged them both jubilantly , and went on her way rejoicing . `` I hope things will go right , '' said Priscilla soberly . `` We must MAKE them go right , '' avowed Anne . `` I think Phil will fit into our ` appy little ` ome very well .
