If there 's no room for me I 'll sleep in the little doghouse in the orchard -- I 've seen it . Only let me come . '' `` Get up , you goose . '' `` I wo n't stir off my marrow bones till you tell me I can live with you next winter . '' Anne and Priscilla looked at each other . Then Anne said slowly , `` Phil dear , we 'd love to have you .

Now , you are rich and your boardinghouse fare attests the fact . '' `` Oh , what do I care for that ? '' demanded Phil tragically . `` Better a dinner of herbs where your chums are than a stalled ox in a lonely boardinghouse . Do n't think I 'm ALL stomach , girls . I 'll be willing to live on bread and water -- with just a LEETLE jam -- if you 'll let me come . '' `` And then , '' continued Anne , `` there will be a good deal of work to be done . Stella 's aunt ca n't do it all .
