We 'll have a picnic every day and pretend all sorts of interesting things , and see if we ca n't cheer Miss Lavendar up . '' `` That will be the very thing , Miss Shirley , ma'am , '' exclaimed Charlotta the Fourth in rapture . She was glad for Miss Lavendar 's sake and for her own too . With a whole week in which to study Anne constantly she would surely be able to learn how to move and behave like her . When the girls got back to Echo Lodge they found that Miss Lavendar and Paul had carried the little square table out of the kitchen to the garden and had everything ready for tea . Nothing ever tasted so delicious as those strawberries and cream , eaten under a great blue sky all curdled over with fluffy little white clouds , and in the long shadows of the wood with its lispings and its murmurings . After tea Anne helped Charlotta wash the dishes in the kitchen , while Miss Lavendar sat on the stone bench with Paul and heard all about his rock people . She was a good listener , this sweet Miss Lavendar , but just at the last it struck Paul that she had suddenly lost interest in the Twin Sailors . `` Miss Lavendar , why do you look at me like that ? '' he asked gravely . `` How do I look , Paul ? '' `` Just as if you were looking through me at somebody I put you in mind of , '' said Paul , who had such occasional flashes of uncanny insight that it was n't quite safe to have secrets when he was about . `` You do put me in mind of somebody I knew long ago , '' said Miss Lavendar dreamily . `` When you were young ?

I never knew a young person with white hair . But your eyes are as young as my beautiful teacher 's when you laugh . I tell you what , Miss Lavendar '' ... Paul 's voice and face were as solemn as a judge 's ... `` I think you would make a splendid mother .
You have just the right look XXXXX your eyes ... the look my little mother always had .
