`` I do n't feel like tame domestic joys today . I want to feel alone and free and wild . The park will be empty , for every one will be at the football match . '' `` Why did n't you go to it ? '' '' ` Nobody axed me , sir , she said ' -- at least , nobody but that horrid little Dan Ranger . I would n't go anywhere with him ; but rather than hurt his poor little tender feelings I said I was n't going to the game at all . I do n't mind . I 'm not in the mood for football today somehow . '' `` You go and get some fresh air , '' repeated Aunt Jamesina , `` but take your umbrella , for I believe it 's going to rain . I 've rheumatism in my leg . '' `` Only old people should have rheumatism , Aunty . '' `` Anybody is liable to rheumatism in her legs , Anne . It 's only old people who should have rheumatism in their souls , though .

But , somehow , since her return to Redmond for this third year , life had not mirrored her spirit back to her with its old , perfect , sparkling clearness . Outwardly , existence at Patty 's Place was the same pleasant round of work and study and recreation that it had always been .
