I never visited but once . It was at my Aunt Mary 's last winter . My Aunt Mary is a very particular woman and a great housekeeper . The first night I was there we were at tea . I knocked over a jug and broke it . Aunt Mary said she had had that jug ever since she was married and nobody had ever broken it before . When we got up I stepped on her dress and all the gathers tore out of the skirt . The next morning when I got up I hit the pitcher against the basin and cracked them both and I upset a cup of tea on the tablecloth at breakfast . When I was helping Aunt Mary with the dinner dishes I dropped a china plate and it smashed . That evening I fell downstairs and sprained my ankle and had to stay in bed for a week . I heard Aunt Mary tell Uncle Joseph it was a mercy or I 'd have broken everything in the house . When I got better it was time to go home . I do n't like visiting very much . I like going to school better , especially since I came to Avonlea . '' ` Yours respectfully , '' `` Barbara Shaw .
