[ sunday afternoons are made for rest; this much had been certain back at green gables. anne and marilla would perhaps have some of the ladies of avonlea over for tea after church and everyone would be in their sunday best and so that is what anne is wearing right now. a little light blue dress with gloriously puffed sleeves ( Read more... )

Guess I wouldn't mind being clever. But not dazzling, exactly.

Think I'd choose not to have wings in the first f-... In the first place.

[ oh, mildmay. she appreciates your effort. really, she does. ]

If you're going to choose clever then why not go the whole way and aim for dazzlingly so?

[voice.] ohmykethe July 10 2011, 14:29:22 UTC

I'd be distracting. If'n I'm clever, I don't want nobody noticing.

[voice.] slatebreaker July 10 2011, 14:37:11 UTC

Surely, it would be exactly the sort of thing one would want noticed.

[She's trying not to sound like she's smiling too much, but it's sort of hard not to.]

Oh, that's easy enough. Dazzlingly clever. Being good would be get boring, and I think being reasonably good-looking's enough for me.

[voice] slatebreaker July 10 2011, 14:29:09 UTC

Oh, Mrs. Eaton -- I try to think along those lines. I really and truly do. But then I imagine myself with raven black hair and not a freckle on my face and I think that reasonably good-looking doesn't sound so reasonable at all, anymore.

[voice] poorneedyand July 10 2011, 14:39:35 UTC

I just don't see why raven black hair'd be that much prettier. Red stands out more in a crowd--if you're going to be divinely beautiful, it might as well be noticeable.

[voice] slatebreaker July 10 2011, 14:40:50 UTC

Perhaps a fine, rich auburn like yourself. However, I feel I'm doomed to have hair the colour of carrots.

I suppose I would like to be clever, if those were my options given. Cleverness seems the most useful, though I am one who tries to keep goodness in him.

voice slatebreaker July 10 2011, 14:49:03 UTC

Clever does seem to be the popular option, so far.

voice harthad July 10 2011, 14:52:13 UTC

Well it is always well to be good, and I suppose it is to one's benefit to be fair of face and form, but if one is clever they can go much farther than where the other two might bring them.

voice slatebreaker July 10 2011, 14:53:17 UTC

Your words, sir, are quite clever in and of themselves. Perhaps you already are?

Oh? Is this book here?

And then I wonder if the materials necessary for quilting would turn up in the shops. Hmm.

You're quite right. I suppose if I ever was offered the choice, I would have to decline it entirely for fear of it being ruse.

I'm not sure you can learn to be beautiful, can you?

[ if so she must LEARN IT SOON. ]
