`` I shall always remember him , '' said Miss Maria solemnly . `` I can see him , this minute , standing there before that fire , with his hands under his coat-tails , beaming on us . '' Miss Maria took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes ; but Miss Patty came resolutely back from the regions of sentiment to those of business . `` I shall leave the dogs where they are , if you will promise to be very careful of them , '' she said . `` Their names are Gog and Magog . Gog looks to the right and Magog to the left . And there 's just one thing more . You do n't object , I hope , to this house being called Patty 's Place ? '' `` No , indeed . We think that is one of the nicest things about it . '' `` You have sense , I see , '' said Miss Patty in a tone of great satisfaction . `` Would you believe it ? All the people who came here to rent the house wanted to know if they could n't take the name off the gate during their occupation of it . I told them roundly that the name went with the house . This has been Patty 's Place ever since my brother Aaron left it to me in his will , and Patty 's Place it shall remain until I die and Maria dies . After that happens the next possessor can call it any fool name he likes , '' concluded Miss Patty , much as she might have said , `` After that -- the deluge . '' `` And now , would n't you like to go over the house and see it all before we consider the bargain made ? '' Further exploration still further delighted the girls . Besides the big living-room , there was a kitchen and a small bedroom downstairs . Upstairs were three rooms , one large and two small .
Anne took an especial fancy XXXXX one of the small ones , looking out into the big pines , and hoped it would be hers .
