`` Oh ... hoo ... hoo ... hoo , '' went Paul on the dyke , where he had been making noises diligently ... not all of them melodious in the making , but all coming back transmuted into the very gold and silver of sound by the fairy alchemists over the river . Miss Lavendar made an impatient movement with her pretty hands . `` I 'm just tired of everything ... even of the echoes . There is nothing in my life but echoes ... echoes of lost hopes and dreams and joys . They 're beautiful and mocking . Oh Anne , it 's horrid of me to talk like this when I have company . It 's just that I 'm getting old and it does n't agree with me . I know I 'll be fearfully cranky by the time I 'm sixty . But perhaps all I need is a course of blue pills . '' At this moment Charlotta the Fourth , who had disappeared after lunch , returned , and announced that the northeast corner of Mr. John Kimball 's pasture was red with early strawberries , and would n't Miss Shirley like to go and pick some . `` Early strawberries for tea ! '' exclaimed Miss Lavendar . `` Oh , I 'm not so old as I thought ... and I do n't need a single blue pill ! Girls , when you come back with your strawberries we 'll have tea out here under the silver poplar . I 'll have it all ready for you with home-grown cream . '' Anne and Charlotta the Fourth accordingly betook themselves back to Mr. Kimball 's pasture , a green remote place where the air was as soft as velvet and fragrant as a bed of violets and golden as amber . `` Oh , is n't it sweet and fresh back here ? '' breathed Anne . `` I just feel as if I were drinking in the sunshine . '' `` Yes , ma'am , so do I. That 's just exactly how I feel too , ma'am , '' agreed Charlotta the Fourth , who would have said precisely the same thing if Anne had remarked that she felt like a pelican of the wilderness .
Always after Anne had visited Echo Lodge Charlotta the Fourth mounted to her little room over the kitchen and tried before her looking glass to speak and look and move XXXXX Anne .
