She would have been toddling around on her tiny feet and lisping a few words . I can see her so plainly , Marilla . Oh , I know now that Captain Jim was right when he said God would manage better than that my baby would seem a stranger to me when I found her Beyond . I 've learned THAT this past year . I 've followed her development day by day and week by week -- I always shall . I shall know just how she grows from year to year -- and when I meet her again I 'll know her -- she wo n't be a stranger . Oh , Marilla , LOOK at his dear , darling toes ! Is n't it strange they should be so perfect ? '' `` It would be stranger if they were n't , '' said Marilla crisply . Now that all was safely over , Marilla was herself again . `` Oh , I know -- but it seems as if they could n't be quite FINISHED , you know -- and they are , even to the tiny nails . And his hands -- JUST look at his hands , Marilla . '' `` They appear to be a good deal like hands , '' Marilla conceded . `` See how he clings to my finger . I 'm sure he knows me already . He cries when the nurse takes him away . Oh , Marilla , do you think -- you do n't think , do you -- that his hair is going to be red ? '' `` I do n't see much hair of any color , '' said Marilla . `` I would n't worry about it , if I were you , until it becomes visible . '' `` Marilla , he HAS hair -- look at that fine little down all over his head .
Anyway , nurse says his eyes will be hazel and his forehead is exactly XXXXX Gilbert 's . ''
