Mr. Hyde certainly was heard of no more . As it could hardly have been his fright that kept him away the Ingleside folk decided that some dark fate of shot or poison had descended on him -- except Susan , who believed and continued to affirm that he had merely `` gone to his own place . '' Rilla lamented him , for she had been very fond of her stately golden pussy , and had liked him quite as well in his weird Hyde moods as in his tame Jekyll ones . `` And now , Mrs. Dr. dear , '' said Susan , `` since the fall house-cleaning is over and the garden truck is all safe in cellar , I am going to take a honeymoon to celebrate the peace . '' `` A honeymoon , Susan ? '' `` Yes , Mrs. Dr. dear , a honeymoon , '' repeated Susan firmly . `` I shall never be able to get a husband but I am not going to be cheated out of everything and a honeymoon I intend to have . I am going to Charlottetown to visit my married brother and his family . His wife has been ailing all the fall , but nobody knows whether she is going to die not . She never did tell anyone what she was going to do until she did it . That is the main reason why she was never liked in our family . But to be on the safe side I feel that I should visit her . I have not been in town for over a day for twenty years and I have a feeling that I might as well see one of those moving pictures there is so much talk of , so as not to be wholly out of the swim . But have no fear that I shall be carried away with them , Mrs. Dr. dear . I shall be away a fortnight if you can spare me so long . '' `` You certainly deserve a good holiday , Susan . Better take a month -- that is the proper length for a honeymoon . '' `` No , Mrs. Dr. dear , a fortnight is all I require . Besides , I must be home for at least three weeks before Christmas to make the proper preparations . We will have a Christmas that is a Christmas this year , Mrs. Dr. dear .
Do you think there is any chance XXXXX our boys being home for it ? ''
