Nobody does , I imagine . '' `` There 's Gilbert coming up the lane , '' said Marilla . `` If he wants you to go for a row on the pond mind you put on your coat and rubbers . There 's a heavy dew tonight . '' XVIII An Adventure on the Tory Road `` Anne , '' said Davy , sitting up in bed and propping his chin on his hands , `` Anne , where is sleep ? People go to sleep every night , and of course I know it 's the place where I do the things I dream , but I want to know WHERE it is and how I get there and back without knowing anything about it ... and in my nighty too . Where is it ? '' Anne was kneeling at the west gable window watching the sunset sky that was like a great flower with petals of crocus and a heart of fiery yellow . She turned her head at Davy 's question and answered dreamily , '' ` Over the mountains of the moon , Down the valley of the shadow . ' '' Paul Irving would have known the meaning of this , or made a meaning out of it for himself , if he did n't ; but practical Davy , who , as Anne often despairingly remarked , had n't a particle of imagination , was only puzzled and disgusted . `` Anne , I believe you 're just talking nonsense . '' `` Of course , I was , dear boy . Do n't you know that it is only very foolish folk who talk sense all the time ? '' `` Well , I think you might give a sensible answer when I ask a sensible question , '' said Davy in an injured tone . `` Oh , you are too little to understand , '' said Anne . But she felt rather ashamed of saying it ; for had she not , in keen remembrance of many similar snubs administered in her own early years , solemnly vowed that she would never tell any child it was too little to understand ? Yet here she was doing it ... so wide sometimes is the gulf between theory and practice . `` Well , I 'm doing my best to grow , '' said Davy , `` but it 's a thing you ca n't hurry much . If Marilla was n't so stingy with her jam I believe I 'd grow a lot faster . '' `` Marilla is not stingy , Davy , '' said Anne severely .
`` It is very ungrateful XXXXX you to say such a thing . ''
