`` Those twins are real nice children , '' said Mrs. Rachel , when she was sure they were out of earshot . `` Dora is so womanly and helpful , and Davy is developing into a very smart boy . He is n't the holy terror for mischief he used to be . '' `` I never was so distracted in my life as I was the first six months he was here , '' acknowledged Marilla . `` After that I suppose I got used to him . He 's taken a great notion to farming lately , and wants me to let him try running the farm next year . I may , for Mr. Barry does n't think he 'll want to rent it much longer , and some new arrangement will have to be made . '' `` Well , you certainly have a lovely day for your wedding , Anne , '' said Diana , as she slipped a voluminous apron over her silken array . `` You could n't have had a finer one if you 'd ordered it from Eaton 's . '' `` Indeed , there 's too much money going out of this Island to that same Eaton 's , '' said Mrs. Lynde indignantly . She had strong views on the subject of octopus-like department stores , and never lost an opportunity of airing them . `` And as for those catalogues of theirs , they 're the Avonlea girls ' Bible now , that 's what . They pore over them on Sundays instead of studying the Holy Scriptures . '' `` Well , they 're splendid to amuse children with , '' said Diana . `` Fred and Small Anne look at the pictures by the hour . '' '' I amused ten children without the aid of Eaton 's catalogue , '' said Mrs. Rachel severely . `` Come , you two , do n't quarrel over Eaton 's catalogue , '' said Anne gaily . `` This is my day of days , you know . I 'm so happy I want every one else to be happy , too . '' `` I 'm sure I hope your happiness will last , child , '' sighed Mrs. Rachel .
She did XXXXX it truly , and believed it , but she was afraid it was in the nature of a challenge to Providence to flaunt your happiness too openly .
