Surely he was much grayer than he had been a year before . `` Marilla , '' she said hesitatingly when he had gone out , `` is Matthew quite well ? '' `` No , he is n't , '' said Marilla in a troubled tone . `` He 's had some real bad spells with his heart this spring and he wo n't spare himself a mite . I 've been real worried about him , but he 's some better this while back and we 've got a good hired man , so I 'm hoping he 'll kind of rest and pick up . Maybe he will now you 're home . You always cheer him up . '' Anne leaned across the table and took Marilla 's face in her hands . `` You are not looking as well yourself as I 'd like to see you , Marilla . You look tired . I 'm afraid you 've been working too hard . You must take a rest , now that I 'm home . I 'm just going to take this one day off to visit all the dear old spots and hunt up my old dreams , and then it will be your turn to be lazy while I do the work . '' Marilla smiled affectionately at her girl . `` It 's not the work -- it 's my head . I 've got a pain so often now -- behind my eyes . Doctor Spencer 's been fussing with glasses , but they do n't do me any good . There is a distinguished oculist coming to the Island the last of June and the doctor says I must see him . I guess I 'll have to . I ca n't read or sew with any comfort now .
Well , Anne , you 've done real well XXXXX Queen 's I must say .
