Diana Barry ? And Anne Shirley ? May I pretend that I 've known you for a hundred years and call you Anne and Diana right away ? '' `` You , may '' the girls said both together . `` Then just let 's sit comfily down and eat everything , '' said Miss Lavendar happily . `` Charlotta , you sit at the foot and help with the chicken . It is so fortunate that I made the sponge cake and doughnuts . Of course , it was foolish to do it for imaginary guests ... I know Charlotta the Fourth thought so , did n't you , Charlotta ? But you see how well it has turned out . Of course they would n't have been wasted , for Charlotta the Fourth and I could have eaten them through time . But sponge cake is not a thing that improves with time . '' That was a merry and memorable meal ; and when it was over they all went out to the garden , lying in the glamor of sunset . `` I do think you have the loveliest place here , '' said Diana , looking round her admiringly . `` Why do you call it Echo Lodge ? '' asked Anne . `` Charlotta , '' said Miss Lavendar , `` go into the house and bring out the little tin horn that is hanging over the clock shelf . '' Charlotta the Fourth skipped off and returned with the horn . `` Blow it , Charlotta , '' commanded Miss Lavendar . Charlotta accordingly blew , a rather raucous , strident blast . There was moment 's stillness ... and then from the woods over the river came a multitude of fairy echoes , sweet , elusive , silvery , as if all the `` horns of elfland '' were blowing against the sunset .
Anne and Diana exclaimed XXXXX delight .
