cried Rilla , who did n't like the said Hazel . `` I 'll go barefoot first . '' Mary shrugged her shoulders . `` Just as you like . Pride must suffer pain . It 'll teach you to be more careful . Well , let 's hike . '' Accordingly they hiked . But to `` hike '' along a deep-rutted , pebbly lane in frail , silver-hued slippers with high French heels , is not an exhilarating performance . Rilla managed to limp and totter along until they reached the harbour road ; but she could go no farther in those detestable slippers . She took them and her dear silk stockings off and started barefoot . That was not pleasant either ; her feet were very tender and the pebbles and ruts of the road hurt them . Her blistered heels smarted . But physical pain was almost forgotten in the sting of humiliation . This was a nice predicament ! If Kenneth Ford could see her now , limping along like a little girl with a stone bruise ! Oh , what a horrid way for her lovely party to end ! She just had to cry -- it was too terrible . Nobody cared for her -- nobody bothered about her at all . Well , if she caught cold from walking home barefoot on a dew-wet road and went into a decline perhaps they would be sorry .
She furtively wiped her tears away XXXXX her scarf -- handkerchiefs seemed to have vanished like shoes !
