They found the Gillis home gay with lights and callers . Leonard Kimball , of Spencervale , and Morgan Bell , of Carmody , were glaring at each other across the parlor . Several merry girls had dropped in . Ruby was dressed in white and her eyes and cheeks were very brilliant . She laughed and chattered incessantly , and after the other girls had gone she took Anne upstairs to display her new summer dresses . `` I 've a blue silk to make up yet , but it 's a little heavy for summer wear . I think I 'll leave it until the fall . I 'm going to teach in White Sands , you know . How do you like my hat ? That one you had on in church yesterday was real dinky . But I like something brighter for myself . Did you notice those two ridiculous boys downstairs ? They 've both come determined to sit each other out . I do n't care a single bit about either of them , you know . Herb Spencer is the one I like . Sometimes I really do think he 's MR. RIGHT . At Christmas I thought the Spencervale schoolmaster was that . But I found out something about him that turned me against him . He nearly went insane when I turned him down . I wish those two boys had n't come tonight .
I wanted to have a nice good talk with you , Anne , and tell you such heaps XXXXX things .
