`` I 'm going to get in if I have to break a window , '' said Rilla resolutely . `` Hannah would want me to do that . She 'd never get over it if she heard I came to her house for refuge in a thunderstorm and could n't get in . '' Luckily she did not have to go to the length of actual housebreaking . The kitchen window went up quite easily . Rilla lifted Jims in and scrambled through herself , just as the storm broke in good earnest . `` Oh , see all the little pieces of thunder , '' cried Jims in delight , as the hail danced in after them . Rilla shut the window and with some difficulty found and lighted a lamp . They were in a very snug little kitchen . Opening off it on one side was a trim , nicely furnished parlour , and on the other a pantry , which proved to be well stocked . `` I 'm going to make myself at home , '' said Rilla . `` I know that is just what Hannah would want me to do . I 'll get a little snack for Jims and me , and then if the rain continues and nobody comes home I 'll just go upstairs to the spare room and go to bed . There is nothing like acting sensibly in an emergency . If I had not been a goose when I saw Jims fall off the train I 'd have rushed back into the car and got some one to stop it . Then I would n't have been in this scrape . Since I am in it I 'll make the best of it . `` This house , '' she added , looking around , `` is fixed up much nicer than when I was here before . Of course Hannah and Ted were just beginning housekeeping then . But somehow I 've had the idea that Ted has n't been very prosperous .
He must have done better XXXXX I 've been led to believe , when they can afford furniture like this .
