She did n't give us any preserves or cake ... and even the bread was skurce . '' `` Davy , when you go visiting you must never criticize anything you are given to eat , '' said Anne solemnly . `` It is very bad manners . '' `` All right ... I 'll only think it , '' said Davy cheerfully . `` Do give a fellow some supper , Anne . '' Anne looked at Marilla , who followed her into the pantry and shut the door cautiously . `` You can give him some jam on his bread , I know what tea at Levi Boulter 's is apt to be . '' Davy took his slice of bread and jam with a sigh . `` It 's a kind of disappointing world after all , '' he remarked . `` Milty has a cat that takes fits ... she 's took a fit regular every day for three weeks . Milty says it 's awful fun to watch her . I went down today on purpose to see her have one but the mean old thing would n't take a fit and just kept healthy as healthy , though Milty and me hung round all the afternoon and waited . But never mind '' ... Davy brightened up as the insidious comfort of the plum jam stole into his soul ... `` maybe I 'll see her in one sometime yet . It does n't seem likely she 'd stop having them all at once when she 's been so in the habit of it , does it ? This jam is awful nice . '' Davy had no sorrows that plum jam could not cure . Sunday proved so rainy that there was no stirring abroad ; but by Monday everybody had heard some version of the Harrison story . The school buzzed with it and Davy came home , full of information . `` Marilla , Mr. Harrison has a new wife ... well , not ezackly new , but they 've stopped being married for quite a spell , Milty says . I always s ` posed people had to keep on being married once they 'd begun , but Milty says no , there 's ways of stopping if you ca n't agree .
Milty says one way is just XXXXX start off and leave your wife , and that 's what Mr. Harrison did .
