In due time Aunt Jamesina arrived . Anne and Priscilla and Phil had awaited her advent rather dubiously ; but when Aunt Jamesina was enthroned in the rocking chair before the open fire they figuratively bowed down and worshipped her . Aunt Jamesina was a tiny old woman with a little , softly-triangular face , and large , soft blue eyes that were alight with unquenchable youth , and as full of hopes as a girl 's . She had pink cheeks and snow-white hair which she wore in quaint little puffs over her ears . `` It 's a very old-fashioned way , '' she said , knitting industriously at something as dainty and pink as a sunset cloud . `` But I am old-fashioned . My clothes are , and it stands to reason my opinions are , too . I do n't say they 're any the better of that , mind you . In fact , I daresay they 're a good deal the worse . But they 've worn nice and easy . New shoes are smarter than old ones , but the old ones are more comfortable . I 'm old enough to indulge myself in the matter of shoes and opinions . I mean to take it real easy here . I know you expect me to look after you and keep you proper , but I 'm not going to do it . You 're old enough to know how to behave if you 're ever going to be . So , as far as I am concerned , '' concluded Aunt Jamesina , with a twinkle in her young eyes , `` you can all go to destruction in your own way . '' `` Oh , will somebody separate those cats ? '' pleaded Stella , shudderingly . Aunt Jamesina had brought with her not only the Sarah-cat but Joseph . Joseph , she explained , had belonged to a dear friend of hers who had gone to live in Vancouver .
`` She could n't take Joseph with her so she begged me XXXXX take him .
