I should n't be afraid of her , '' said Sylvia to herself , as she turned into the Spencer lane . `` But I do n't expect I 'll ever become acquainted with her . If she knew who I am I suppose she would dislike me . I suppose she never suspects that I am Leslie Gray 's daughter . '' The minister , thinking it well to strike while the iron was hot , went up to call on Old Lady Lloyd the very next afternoon . He went in fear and trembling , for he had heard things about Old Lady Lloyd ; but she made herself so agreeable in her high-bred fashion that he was delighted , and told his wife when he went home that Spencervale people did n't understand Miss Lloyd . This was perfectly true ; but it is by no means certain that the minister understood her either . He made only one mistake in tact , but , as the Old Lady did not snub him for it , he never knew he made it . When he was leaving he said , `` I hope we shall see you at church next Sunday , Miss Lloyd . '' `` Indeed , you will , '' said the Old Lady emphatically . III . The July Chapter The first day of July Sylvia found a little birch bark boat full of strawberries at the beech in the hollow . They were the earliest of the season ; the Old Lady had found them in one of her secret haunts . They would have been a toothsome addition to the Old Lady 's own slender bill of fare ; but she never thought of eating them . She got far more pleasure out of the thought of Sylvia 's enjoying them for her tea . Thereafter the strawberries alternated with the flowers as long as they lasted , and then came blueberries and raspberries . The blueberries grew far away and the Old Lady had many a tramp after them . Sometimes her bones ached at night because of it ; but what cared the Old Lady for that ? Bone ache is easier to endure than soul ache ; and the Old Lady 's soul had stopped aching for the first time in many year . It was being nourished with heavenly manna .
