`` Oh , never mind me , '' said Constance , freezing up into her reserve again as if she regretted her confidences . `` I 'll get along all right . This is one of my off days , when everything looks black . '' Miss Channing walked on in silence . She must help Constance , but Constance was not easily helped . When school reopened , she might be able to do something worthwhile for the girl , but just now the only thing to do was to put her in the way of a pleasant vacation . `` You spoke of boarding , '' she said , when Constance paused at the door of her boarding-house . `` Have you any particular place in view ? No ? Well , I know a place which I am sure you would like . I was there two summers ago . It is a country place about a hundred miles from here . Pine Valley is its name . It 's restful and homey , and the people are so nice . If you like , I 'll give you the address of the family I boarded with . '' `` Thank you , '' said Constance indifferently . `` I might as well go there as anywhere else . '' `` Yes , but listen to me , dear . Do n't take your morbidness with you . Open your heart to the summer , and let its sunshine in , and when you come back in the fall , come prepared to let us all be your friends .
We 'd like XXXXX be , and while friendship does n't take the place of the love of one 's own people , still it is a good and beautiful thing .
