burst out Emmeline . `` You wicked , deceitful , underhanded , ungrateful creature ! '' And she went on storming at Prissy , who began to cry , and looked so weak and babyish that I was frightened she would betray the whole thing . `` This is between you and Prissy , Emmeline , '' I struck in , `` and I 'm not going to interfere . But I want to get you to come over and show me how to tuft my comfort that new pattern you learned in Avonlea , and as it had better be done before dark I wish you 'd come right away . '' `` I s ` pose I 'll go , '' said Emmeline ungraciously , `` but Priscilla shall come , too , for I see that she is n't to be trusted out of my sight after this . '' I hoped Stephen would see us from the garret window and make good his escape . But I did n't dare trust to chance , so when I got Emmeline safely to work on my comfort I excused myself and slipped out . Luckily my kitchen was on the off side of the house , but I was a nervous woman as I rushed across to the Strong place and dashed up Emmeline 's garret stairs to Stephen . It was fortunate I had come , for he did n't know we had gone . Prissy had hidden him behind the loom and he did n't dare move for fear Emmeline would hear him on that creaky floor . He was a sight with cobwebs . I got him down and smuggled him into our barn , and he stayed there until it was dark and the Strong girls had gone home . Emmeline began to rage at Prissy the moment they were outside my door . Then Stephen came in and we talked things over . He and Prissy had made good use of their time , short as it had been . Prissy had promised to marry him , and all that remained was to get the ceremony performed . `` And that will be no easy matter , '' I warned him . `` Now that Emmeline 's suspicions are aroused she 'll never let Prissy out of her sight until you 're married to another woman , if it 's years . I know Emmeline Strong .
And I XXXXX Prissy .
