Maybe it was so . `` Ca n't you suggest something , Rosanna ? '' he implored . `` You 've helped us so far , and I 'll never forget it . '' `` The only thing I can think of is for you to have the license ready , and speak to Mr. Leonard , and keep an eye on our ventilator , '' I said . `` I 'll watch here and signal whenever there 's an opening . '' Well , I watched and Stephen watched , and Mr. Leonard was in the plot , too . Prissy was always a favourite of his , and he would have been more than human , saint as he is , if he 'd had any love for Emmeline , after the way she was always trying to brew up strife in the church . But Emmeline was a match for us all . She never let Prissy out of her sight . Everywhere she went she toted Prissy , too . When a month had gone by , I was almost in despair . Mr. Leonard had to leave for the Assembly in another week and Stephen 's neighbours were beginning to talk about him . They said that a man who spent all his time hanging around the yard with a spyglass , and trusting everything to a hired boy , could n't be altogether right in his mind . I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Emmeline driving away one day alone . As soon as she was out of sight I whisked over , and Anne Shirley and Diana Barry went with me . They were visiting me that afternoon . Diana 's mother was my second cousin , and , as we visited back and forth frequently , I 'd often seen Diana . But I 'd never seen her chum , Anne Shirley , although I 'd heard enough about her to drive anyone frantic with curiosity . So when she came home from Redmond College that summer I asked Diana to take pity on me and bring her over some afternoon .
I was n't disappointed XXXXX her .
