He has been Mr. Hyde most of the time since Jem came home in khaki , and that has a meaning I will maintain . I do not know what Monday will do when Jem is gone . The creature just goes about with a human look in his eyes that takes all the good out of me when I see it . Ellen West used to be always railing at the Kaiser and we thought her crazy , but now I see that there was a method in her madness . This tray is packed , Mrs. Dr. dear , and I will go down and put in my best licks preparing supper . I wish I knew when I would cook another supper for Jem but such things are hidden from our eyes . '' Jem Blythe and Jerry Meredith left next morning . It was a dull day , threatening rain , and the clouds lay in heavy grey rolls over the sky ; but almost everybody in the Glen and Four Winds and Harbour Head and Upper Glen and over-harbour -- except Whiskers-on-the-moon -- was there to see them off . The Blythe family and the Meredith family were all smiling . Even Susan , as Providence did ordain , wore a smile , though the effect was somewhat more painful than tears would have been . Faith and Nan were very pale and very gallant . Rilla thought she would get on very well if something in her throat did n't choke her , and if her lips did n't take such spells of trembling . Dog Monday was there , too . Jem had tried to say good-bye to him at Ingleside but Monday implored so eloquently that Jem relented and let him go to the station . He kept close to Jem 's legs and watched every movement of his beloved master . `` I ca n't bear that dog 's eyes , '' said Mrs. Meredith . `` The beast has more sense than most humans , '' said Mary Vance . `` Well , did we any of us ever think we 'd live to see this day ? I bawled all night to think of Jem and Jerry going like this . I think they 're plumb deranged .
Miller got a maggot XXXXX his head about going but I soon talked him out of it -- likewise his aunt said a few touching things .
