Miss
Maria
Grimsby
sits
cati-corner
from
me
.
The
first
day
I
came
I
remarked
to
Miss
Maria
that
it
looked
a
little
like
rain
--
and
Miss
Maria
laughed
.
I
said
the
road
from
the
station
was
very
pretty
--
and
Miss
Maria
laughed
.
I
said
there
seemed
to
be
a
few
mosquitoes
left
yet
--
and
Miss
Maria
laughed
.
I
said
that
Prospect
Point
was
as
beautiful
as
ever
--
and
Miss
Maria
laughed
.
If
I
were
to
say
to
Miss
Maria
,
'
My
father
has
hanged
himself
,
my
mother
has
taken
poison
,
my
brother
is
in
the
penitentiary
,
and
I
am
in
the
last
stages
of
consumption
,
'
Miss
Maria
would
laugh
.
She
ca
n't
help
it
--
she
was
born
so
;
but
is
very
sad
and
awful
.
"
The
fifth
old
lady
is
Mrs.
Grant
.
She
is
a
sweet
old
thing
;
but
she
never
says
anything
but
good
of
anybody
and
so
she
is
a
very
uninteresting
conversationalist
.

"
And
now
for
Jonas
,
Anne
.
"
That
first
day
I
came
I
saw
a
young
man
sitting
opposite
me
at
the
table
,
smiling
at
me
as
if
he
had
known
me
from
my
cradle
.
I
knew
,
for
Uncle
Mark
had
told
me
,
that
his
name
was
Jonas
Blake
,
that
he
was
a
Theological
Student
from
St.
Columbia
,
and
that
he
had
taken
charge
of
the
Point
Prospect
Mission
Church
for
the
summer
.
"
He
is
a
very
ugly
young
man
--
really
,
the
ugliest
young
man
I
've
ever
seen
.
He
has
a
big
,
loose-jointed
figure
with
absurdly
long
legs
.
His
hair
is
tow-color
and
lank
,
his
eyes
are
green
,
and
his
mouth
is
big
,
and
his
ears
--
but
I
never
think
about
his
ears
if
I
can
help
it
.
"
He
has
a
lovely
voice
--
if
you
shut
your
eyes
he
is
adorable
--
and
he
certainly
has
a
beautiful
soul
and
disposition
.

"
We
were
good
chums
right
way
.
Of
course
he
is
a
graduate
of
Redmond
,
and
that
is
a
link
between
us
.
We
fished
and
boated
together
;
and
we
walked
on
the
sands
by
moonlight
.
He
did
n't
look
so
homely
by
moonlight
and
oh
,
he
was
nice
.
Niceness
fairly
exhaled
from
him
.
The
old
ladies
--
except
Mrs.
Grant
--
do
n't
approve
of
Jonas
,
because
he
laughs
and
jokes
--
and
because
he
evidently
likes
the
society
of
frivolous
me
better
than
theirs
.
"
Somehow
,
Anne
,
I
do
n't
want
him
to
think
me
frivolous
.
This
is
ridiculous
.
Why
should
I
care
what
a
tow-haired
person
called
Jonas
,
whom
I
never
saw
before
thinks
of
me
?
"
Last
Sunday
Jonas
preached
in
the
village
church
.
I
went
,
of
course
,
but
I
could
n't
realize
that
Jonas
was
going
to
preach
.
