`` All the boys of his class have Indian headdresses , and Davy wants one too , '' said Anne . '' I know how it feels ... I 'll never forget how I used to long for puffed sleeves when all the other girls had them . And Davy is n't being spoiled . He is improving every day . Think what a difference there is in him since he came here a year ago . '' `` He certainly does n't get into as much mischief since he began to go to school , '' acknowledged Marilla . `` I suppose he works off the tendency with the other boys . But it 's a wonder to me we have n't heard from Richard Keith before this . Never a word since last May . '' `` I 'll be afraid to hear from him , '' sighed Anne , beginning to clear away the dishes . `` If a letter should come I 'd dread opening it , for fear it would tell us to send the twins to him . '' A month later a letter did come . But it was not from Richard Keith . A friend of his wrote to say that Richard Keith had died of consumption a fortnight previously . The writer of the letter was the executor of his will and by that will the sum of two thousand dollars was left to Miss Marilla Cuthbert in trust for David and Dora Keith until they came of age or married . In the meantime the interest was to be used for their maintenance . `` It seems dreadful to be glad of anything in connection with a death , '' said Anne soberly . `` I 'm sorry for poor Mr. Keith ; but I AM glad that we can keep the twins . '' `` It 's a very good thing about the money , '' said Marilla practically . `` I wanted to keep them but I really did n't see how I could afford to do it , especially when they grew older .
The rent of the farm does n't do any more than keep the house and I was bound XXXXX not a cent of your money should be spent on them .
