I had YOU , but she had no one . '' `` I think she felt pretty all-by-herselfish , too . Several times I saw her make a motion as if to cross over to us , but she never did it -- too shy , I suppose . I wished she would come . If I had n't felt so much like the aforesaid elephant I 'd have gone to her . But I could n't lumber across that big hall with all those boys howling on the stairs . She was the prettiest freshette I saw today , but probably favor is deceitful and even beauty is vain on your first day at Redmond , '' concluded Priscilla with a laugh . `` I 'm going across to Old St. John 's after lunch , '' said Anne . `` I do n't know that a graveyard is a very good place to go to get cheered up , but it seems the only get-at-able place where there are trees , and trees I must have .

Up and down the long grassy aisles they wandered , reading the quaint , voluminous epitaphs , carved in an age that had more leisure than our own . '' ` Here lieth the body of Albert Crawford , Esq. , ' '' read Anne from a worn , gray slab , '' ` for many years Keeper of His Majesty 's Ordnance at Kingsport . He served in the army till the peace of 1763 , when he retired from bad health . He was a brave officer , the best of husbands , the best of fathers , the best of friends . He died October 29th , 1792 , aged 84 years . ' There 's an epitaph for you , Prissy .
