I 'll get a little snack for Jims and me , and then if the rain continues and nobody comes home I 'll just go upstairs to the spare room and go to bed . There is nothing like acting sensibly in an emergency . If I had not been a goose when I saw Jims fall off the train I 'd have rushed back into the car and got some one to stop it . Then I would n't have been in this scrape . Since I am in it I 'll make the best of it . `` This house , '' she added , looking around , `` is fixed up much nicer than when I was here before . Of course Hannah and Ted were just beginning housekeeping then . But somehow I 've had the idea that Ted has n't been very prosperous . He must have done better than I 've been led to believe , when they can afford furniture like this . I 'm awfully glad for Hannah 's sake . '' The thunderstorm passed , but the rain continued to fall heavily . At eleven o'clock Rilla decided that nobody was coming home . Jims had fallen asleep on the sofa ; she carried him up to the spare room and put him to bed . Then she undressed , put on a nightgown she found in the washstand drawer , and scrambled sleepily in between very nice lavender-scented sheets . She was so tired , after her adventures and exertions , that not even the oddity of her situation could keep her awake ; she was sound asleep in a few minutes . Rilla slept until eight o'clock the next morning and then wakened with startling suddenness . Somebody was saying in a harsh , gruff voice , `` Here , you two , wake up . I want to know what this means . '' Rilla did wake up , promptly and effectually . She had never in all her life wakened up so thoroughly before .
Standing in the room were three people , one XXXXX them a man , who were absolute strangers to her .
