How do you feel about it ? '' `` I feel ... as if ... somebody ... had handed me ... the moon ... and I did n't know ... exactly ... what to do ... with it , '' said Anne dazedly . `` But as for asking Mrs. Lynde to come here , that is for you to decide , Marilla . Do you think ... are you sure ... you would like it ? Mrs. Lynde is a good woman and a kind neighbor , but ... but ... '' `` But she 's got her faults , you mean to say ? Well , she has , of course ; but I think I 'd rather put up with far worse faults than see Rachel go away from Avonlea . I 'd miss her terrible . She 's the only close friend I 've got here and I 'd be lost without her . We 've been neighbors for forty-five years and we 've never had a quarrel ... though we came rather near it that time you flew at Mrs. Rachel for calling you homely and redhaired . Do you remember , Anne ? '' `` I should think I do , '' said Anne ruefully . `` People do n't forget things like that . How I hated poor Mrs. Rachel at that moment ! '' `` And then that ` apology ' you made her . Well , you were a handful , in all conscience , Anne . I did feel so puzzled and bewildered how to manage you . Matthew understood you better . '' `` Matthew understood everything , '' said Anne softly , as she always spoke of him . `` Well , I think it could be managed so that Rachel and I would n't clash at all . It always seemed to me that the reason two women ca n't get along in one house is that they try to share the same kitchen and get in each other 's way .
Now , if Rachel came here , she could have the north gable for her bedroom and the spare room for a kitchen as well as not , XXXXX we do n't really need a spare room at all .
