I wish old Aunt Atossa 's funeral was tomorrow instead of today . I wanted to go to it 'cause Milty said his mother said Aunt Atossa would be sure to rise up in her coffin and say sarcastic things to the folks that come to see her buried . But Marilla said she did n't . '' `` Poor Atossa laid in her coffin peaceful enough , '' said Mrs. Lynde solemnly . `` I never saw her look so pleasant before , that 's what . Well , there were n't many tears shed over her , poor old soul . The Elisha Wrights are thankful to be rid of her , and I ca n't say I blame them a mite . '' `` It seems to me a most dreadful thing to go out of the world and not leave one person behind you who is sorry you are gone , '' said Anne , shuddering . `` Nobody except her parents ever loved poor Atossa , that 's certain , not even her husband , '' averred Mrs. Lynde . `` She was his fourth wife . He 'd sort of got into the habit of marrying . He only lived a few years after he married her . The doctor said he died of dyspepsia , but I shall always maintain that he died of Atossa 's tongue , that 's what . Poor soul , she always knew everything about her neighbors , but she never was very well acquainted with herself . Well , she 's gone anyhow ; and I suppose the next excitement will be Diana 's wedding . '' `` It seems funny and horrible to think of Diana 's being married , '' sighed Anne , hugging her knees and looking through the gap in the Haunted Wood to the light that was shining in Diana 's room . `` I do n't see what 's horrible about it , when she 's doing so well , '' said Mrs. Lynde emphatically . `` Fred Wright has a fine farm and he is a model young man . '' `` He certainly is n't the wild , dashing , wicked , young man Diana once wanted to marry , '' smiled Anne . `` Fred is extremely good . ''
`` That 's just what he ought XXXXX be .
