`` I 'm not going to bother cooking any dinner for just Davy and myself today , '' she said . `` That cold ham bone will do for noon lunch and I 'll have some steak fried for you when you come home at night . '' `` I 'm going to help Mr. Harrison haul dulse this morning , '' announced Davy . `` He asked me to , and I guess he 'll ask me to dinner too . Mr. Harrison is an awful kind man . He 's a real sociable man . I hope I 'll be like him when I grow up . I mean BEHAVE like him ... I do n't want to LOOK like him . But I guess there 's no danger , for Mrs. Lynde says I 'm a very handsome child . Do you s ` pose it 'll last , Anne ? I want to know ? '' `` I daresay it will , '' said Anne gravely . `` You ARE a handsome boy , Davy , '' ... Marilla looked volumes of disapproval ... `` but you must live up to it and be just as nice and gentlemanly as you look to be . '' `` And you told Minnie May Barry the other day , when you found her crying 'cause some one said she was ugly , that if she was nice and kind and loving people would n't mind her looks , '' said Davy discontentedly . `` Seems to me you ca n't get out of being good in this world for some reason or ` nother . You just HAVE to behave . '' `` Do n't you want to be good ? '' asked Marilla , who had learned a great deal but had not yet learned the futility of asking such questions . `` Yes , I want to be good but not TOO good , '' said Davy cautiously . `` You do n't have to be very good to be a Sunday School superintendent .
