It could n't be better than Mrs. Evans 's , you know , for she is a professional , and I 'm only a schoolgirl , with a little knack of reciting . I 'm quite satisfied if the people just liked mine pretty well . '' `` I 've a compliment for you , Anne , '' said Diana . `` At least I think it must be a compliment because of the tone he said it in . Part of it was anyhow . There was an American sitting behind Jane and me -- such a romantic-looking man , with coal-black hair and eyes . Josie Pye says he is a distinguished artist , and that her mother 's cousin in Boston is married to a man that used to go to school with him . Well , we heard him say -- did n't we , Jane ? -- ` Who is that girl on the platform with the splendid Titian hair ? She has a face I should like to paint . ' There now , Anne . But what does Titian hair mean ? '' `` Being interpreted it means plain red , I guess , '' laughed Anne . `` Titian was a very famous artist who liked to paint red-haired women .

`` We ARE rich , '' XXXXX Anne staunchly .
