I tried to stay awake until you came home , for I wanted to tell you Aunt Josephine had come and that you would have to go upstairs after all , but I was so tired I fell asleep . I hope you did n't disturb your aunt , Diana . '' Diana preserved a discreet silence , but she and Anne exchanged furtive smiles of guilty amusement across the table . Anne hurried home after breakfast and so remained in blissful ignorance of the disturbance which presently resulted in the Barry household until the late afternoon , when she went down to Mrs. Lynde 's on an errand for Marilla . `` So you and Diana nearly frightened poor old Miss Barry to death last night ? '' said Mrs. Lynde severely , but with a twinkle in her eye . `` Mrs. Barry was here a few minutes ago on her way to Carmody . She 's feeling real worried over it . Old Miss Barry was in a terrible temper when she got up this morning -- and Josephine Barry 's temper is no joke , I can tell you that . She would n't speak to Diana at all . '' `` It was n't Diana 's fault , '' said Anne contritely . `` It was mine . I suggested racing to see who would get into bed first . '' `` I knew it ! '' said Mrs. Lynde , with the exultation of a correct guesser . `` I knew that idea came out of your head . Well , it 's made a nice lot of trouble , that 's what . Old Miss Barry came out to stay for a month , but she declares she wo n't stay another day and is going right back to town tomorrow , Sunday and all as it is . She 'd have gone today if they could have taken her . She had promised to pay for a quarter 's music lessons for Diana , but now she is determined to do nothing at all for such a tomboy .
Oh , I guess they had a lively time XXXXX it there this morning .
