`` I ca n't get away from twins , it seems , '' smiled Anne . `` Wherever I go they confront me . '' `` Oh , they 're not twins now , dear . After they reached the age of thirty they never were twins again . Miss Hannah has grown old , not too gracefully , and Miss Ada has stayed thirty , less gracefully still . I do n't know whether Miss Hannah can smile or not ; I 've never caught her at it so far , but Miss Ada smiles all the time and that 's worse . However , they 're nice , kind souls , and they take two boarders every year because Miss Hannah 's economical soul can not bear to ` waste room space ' -- not because they need to or have to , as Miss Ada has told me seven times since Saturday night . As for our rooms , I admit they are hall bedrooms , and mine does look out on the back yard . Your room is a front one and looks out on Old St. John 's graveyard , which is just across the street . '' `` That sounds gruesome , '' shivered Anne . `` I think I 'd rather have the back yard view . '' `` Oh , no , you would n't . Wait and see . Old St. John 's is a darling place . It 's been a graveyard so long that it 's ceased to be one and has become one of the sights of Kingsport . I was all through it yesterday for a pleasure exertion . There 's a big stone wall and a row of enormous trees all around it , and rows of trees all through it , and the queerest old tombstones , with the queerest and quaintest inscriptions . You 'll go there to study , Anne , see if you do n't . Of course , nobody is ever buried there now . But a few years ago they put up a beautiful monument to the memory of Nova Scotian soldiers who fell in the Crimean War .
It is just opposite the entrance gates and there 's ` scope XXXXX imagination ' in it , as you used to say .
