If you come with us you 'll have to abide by that rule . '' `` Well , you do n't think I 'll mind that , do you ? Why , I 'm glad of it . I knew I should have had some such rule myself , but I had n't enough decision to make it or stick to it . When I can shuffle off the responsibility on you it will be a real relief . If you wo n't let me cast in my lot with you I 'll die of the disappointment and then I 'll come back and haunt you . I 'll camp on the very doorstep of Patty 's Place and you wo n't be able to go out or come in without falling over my spook . '' Again Anne and Priscilla exchanged eloquent looks . `` Well , '' said Anne , `` of course we ca n't promise to take you until we 've consulted with Stella ; but I do n't think she 'll object , and , as far as we are concerned , you may come and glad welcome . '' `` If you get tired of our simple life you can leave us , and no questions asked , '' added Priscilla . Phil sprang up , hugged them both jubilantly , and went on her way rejoicing . `` I hope things will go right , '' said Priscilla soberly . `` We must MAKE them go right , '' avowed Anne . `` I think Phil will fit into our ` appy little ` ome very well . '' `` Oh , Phil 's a dear to rattle round with and be chums . And , of course , the more there are of us the easier it will be on our slim purses . But how will she be to live with ? You have to summer and winter with any one before you know if she 's LIVABLE or not . '' `` Oh , well , we 'll all be put to the test , as far as that goes . And we must quit us like sensible folk , living and let live .
Phil is n't selfish , though she 's a little thoughtless , and I believe we will all get on beautifully XXXXX Patty 's Place . ''
