`` It 's not the work -- it 's my head . I 've got a pain so often now -- behind my eyes . Doctor Spencer 's been fussing with glasses , but they do n't do me any good . There is a distinguished oculist coming to the Island the last of June and the doctor says I must see him . I guess I 'll have to . I ca n't read or sew with any comfort now .

To take First Class License in one year and win the Avery scholarship -- well , well , Mrs. Lynde says pride goes before a fall and she does n't believe in the higher education of women at all ; she says it unfits them for woman 's true sphere . I do n't believe a word of it . Speaking of Rachel reminds me -- did you hear anything about the Abbey Bank lately , Anne ? '' `` I heard it was shaky , '' answered Anne . `` Why ? '' `` That is what Rachel said . She was up here one day last week and said there was some talk about it . Matthew felt real worried . All we have saved is in that bank -- every penny . I wanted Matthew to put it in the Savings Bank in the first place , but old Mr. Abbey was a great friend of father 's and he 'd always banked with him . Matthew said any bank with him at the head of it was good enough for anybody . '' `` I think he has only been its nominal head for many years , '' said Anne . `` He is a very old man ; his nephews are really at the head of the institution . ''
`` Well , when Rachel told us that , I wanted Matthew to draw our money right out and he said he 'd think XXXXX it .
Anne about at behind for in of to with years
