Paul Irving would have known the meaning of this , or made a meaning out of it for himself , if he did n't ; but practical Davy , who , as Anne often despairingly remarked , had n't a particle of imagination , was only puzzled and disgusted . `` Anne , I believe you 're just talking nonsense . '' `` Of course , I was , dear boy . Do n't you know that it is only very foolish folk who talk sense all the time ? '' `` Well , I think you might give a sensible answer when I ask a sensible question , '' said Davy in an injured tone . `` Oh , you are too little to understand , '' said Anne . But she felt rather ashamed of saying it ; for had she not , in keen remembrance of many similar snubs administered in her own early years , solemnly vowed that she would never tell any child it was too little to understand ? Yet here she was doing it ... so wide sometimes is the gulf between theory and practice . `` Well , I 'm doing my best to grow , '' said Davy , `` but it 's a thing you ca n't hurry much . If Marilla was n't so stingy with her jam I believe I 'd grow a lot faster . '' `` Marilla is not stingy , Davy , '' said Anne severely . `` It is very ungrateful of you to say such a thing . '' `` There 's another word that means the same thing and sounds a lot better , but I do n't just remember it , '' said Davy , frowning intently . `` I heard Marilla say she was it , herself , the other day . '' `` If you mean ECONOMICAL , it 's a VERY different thing from being stingy . It is an excellent trait in a person if she is economical . If Marilla had been stingy she would n't have taken you and Dora when your mother died . Would you have liked to live with Mrs. Wiggins ? '' `` You just bet I would n't ! '' Davy was emphatic on that point .
`` Nor I do n't want to go out XXXXX Uncle Richard neither .
