`` You 've had as much as was good for you , '' said Marilla ; but she gave him a moderate second helping . `` I wish people could live on pudding . Why ca n't they , Marilla ? I want to know . '' `` Because they 'd soon get tired of it . '' `` I 'd like to try that for myself , '' said skeptical Davy . `` But I guess it 's better to have pudding only on fish and company days than none at all . They never have any at Milty Boulter 's . Milty says when company comes his mother gives them cheese and cuts it herself ... one little bit apiece and one over for manners . '' `` If Milty Boulter talks like that about his mother at least you need n't repeat it , '' said Marilla severely . `` Bless my soul , '' ... Davy had picked this expression up from Mr. Harrison and used it with great gusto ... `` Milty meant it as a compelment . He 's awful proud of his mother , cause folks say she could scratch a living on a rock . '' `` I ... I suppose them pesky hens are in my pansy bed again , '' said Marilla , rising and going out hurriedly . The slandered hens were nowhere near the pansy bed and Marilla did not even glance at it . Instead , she sat down on the cellar hatch and laughed until she was ashamed of herself . When Anne and Paul reached the stone house that afternoon they found Miss Lavendar and Charlotta the Fourth in the garden , weeding , raking , clipping , and trimming as if for dear life . Miss Lavendar herself , all gay and sweet in the frills and laces she loved , dropped her shears and ran joyously to meet her guests , while Charlotta the Fourth grinned cheerfully . `` Welcome , Anne . I thought you 'd come today . You belong to the afternoon so it brought you .
Things that belong together are sure XXXXX come together .
