`` And if the ache gets too bad you can come up to Green Gables and tell me your thoughts , '' suggested Anne , with all the gravity that endeared her to children , who so dearly love to be taken seriously . `` Yes , I will . But I hope Davy wo n't be there when I go because he makes faces at me . I do n't mind VERY much because he is such a little boy and I am quite a big one , but still it is not pleasant to have faces made at you . And Davy makes such terrible ones . Sometimes I am frightened he will never get his face straightened out again . He makes them at me in church when I ought to be thinking of sacred things . Dora likes me though , and I like her , but not so well as I did before she told Minnie May Barry that she meant to marry me when I grew up . I may marry somebody when I grow up but I 'm far too young to be thinking of it yet , do n't you think , teacher ? '' `` Rather young , '' agreed teacher . `` Speaking of marrying , reminds me of another thing that has been troubling me of late , '' continued Paul . `` Mrs. Lynde was down here one day last week having tea with Grandma , and Grandma made me show her my little mother 's picture ... the one father sent me for my birthday present . I did n't exactly want to show it to Mrs. Lynde . Mrs. Lynde is a good , kind woman , but she is n't the sort of person you want to show your mother 's picture to . YOU know , teacher . But of course I obeyed Grandma . Mrs. Lynde said she was very pretty but kind of actressy looking , and must have been an awful lot younger than father . Then she said , ` Some of these days your pa will be marrying again likely . How will you like to have a new ma , Master Paul ? ' Well , the idea almost took my breath away , teacher , but I was n't going to let Mrs. Lynde see THAT .
I just looked her straight in the face ... like this ... and I said , ` Mrs. Lynde , father XXXXX a pretty good job of picking out my first mother and I could trust him to pick out just as good a one the second time . '
