But we never can somehow ... until after we 've gone and eaten that very thing . Nothing has ever killed us yet ; but Charlotta the Fourth has been known to have bad dreams after we had eaten doughnuts and mince pie and fruit cake before we went to bed . '' `` Grandma lets me have a glass of milk and a slice of bread and butter before I go to bed ; and on Sunday nights she puts jam on the bread , '' said Paul . `` So I 'm always glad when it 's Sunday night ... for more reasons than one . Sunday is a very long day on the shore road . Grandma says it 's all too short for her and that father never found Sundays tiresome when he was a little boy . It would n't seem so long if I could talk to my rock people but I never do that because Grandma does n't approve of it on Sundays . I think a good deal ; but I 'm afraid my thoughts are worldly . Grandma says we should never think anything but religious thoughts on Sundays . But teacher here said once that every really beautiful thought was religious , no matter what it was about , or what day we thought it on . But I feel sure Grandma thinks that sermons and Sunday School lessons are the only things you can think truly religious thoughts about . And when it comes to a difference of opinion between Grandma and teacher I do n't know what to do . In my heart '' ... Paul laid his hand on his breast and raised very serious blue eyes to Miss Lavendar 's immediately sympathetic face ... `` I agree with teacher . But then , you see , Grandma has brought father up HER way and made a brilliant success of him ; and teacher has never brought anybody up yet , though she 's helping with Davy and Dora . But you ca n't tell how they 'll turn out till they ARE grown up . So sometimes I feel as if it might be safer to go by Grandma 's opinions . '' `` I think it would , '' agreed Anne solemnly . `` Anyway , I daresay that if your Grandma and I both got down to what we really do mean , under our different ways of expressing it , we 'd find out we both meant much the same thing . You 'd better go by her way of expressing it , since it 's been the result of experience . We 'll have to wait until we see how the twins do turn out before we can be sure that my way is equally good . ''
After lunch they went back to the garden , where Paul made the acquaintance XXXXX the echoes , to his wonder and delight , while Anne and Miss Lavendar sat on the stone bench under the poplar and talked .
