I do wonder if Thyra suspicions that he goes after Damaris . I 've never dared to hint it to her . She 'd be as liable to fly at me , tooth and claw , as not . '' `` Well , she picks out a precious queer night for moon-gazing , '' said Carl , who was a jolly soul and took life as he found it . `` It 's bitter cold -- there 'll be a hard frost . It 's a pity she ca n't get it grained into her that the boy is grown up and must have his fling like the other lads . She 'll go out of her mind yet , like her old grandmother Lincoln , if she does n't ease up . I 've a notion to go down to the bridge and reason a bit with her . '' `` Indeed , and you 'll do no such thing ! '' cried Cynthia . `` Thyra Carewe is best left alone , if she is in a tantrum . She 's like no other woman in Avonlea -- or out of it . I 'd as soon meddle with a tiger as her , if she 's rampaging about Chester . I do n't envy Damaris Garland her life if she goes in there . Thyra 'd sooner strangle her than not , I guess . '' `` You women are all terrible hard on Thyra , '' said Carl , good-naturedly . He had been in love with Thyra , himself , long ago , and he still liked her in a friendly fashion . He always stood up for her when the Avonlea women ran her down . He felt troubled about her all night , recalling her as she paced the bridge . He wished he had gone back , in spite of Cynthia .
When Chester came home he met his mother XXXXX the bridge .
