`` Who is that beautiful creature ? '' he asked . `` That is Mrs. Moore , '' said Anne . `` She is very lovely , is n't she ? '' `` I -- I never saw anything like her , '' he answered , rather dazedly . `` I was n't prepared -- I did n't expect -- good heavens , one DOES N'T expect a goddess for a landlady ! Why , if she were clothed in a gown of sea-purple , with a rope of amethysts in her hair , she would be a veritable sea-queen . And she takes in boarders ! '' `` Even goddesses must live , '' said Anne . `` And Leslie is n't a goddess . She 's just a very beautiful woman , as human as the rest of us . Did Miss Bryant tell you about Mr. Moore ? '' `` Yes , -- he 's mentally deficient , or something of the sort , is n't he ? But she said nothing about Mrs. Moore , and I supposed she 'd be the usual hustling country housewife who takes in boarders to earn an honest penny . '' `` Well , that 's just what Leslie is doing , '' said Anne crisply . `` And it is n't altogether pleasant for her , either . I hope you wo n't mind Dick . If you do , please do n't let Leslie see it . It would hurt her horribly . He 's just a big baby , and sometimes a rather annoying one . ''
`` Oh , I wo n't XXXXX him .
