`` It will take all his gold to gild a pill like him , that 's what , '' said Mrs. Rachel solemnly . `` He looks kind and good-hearted , '' said Anne loyally , `` and I 'm sure he thinks the world of Jane . '' `` Humph ! '' said Mrs. Rachel . Phil Gordon was married the next week and Anne went over to Bolingbroke to be her bridesmaid . Phil made a dainty fairy of a bride , and the Rev. Jo was so radiant in his happiness that nobody thought him plain . `` We 're going for a lovers ' saunter through the land of Evangeline , '' said Phil , `` and then we 'll settle down on Patterson Street .
