`` It has been a nice summer , '' said Diana , twisting the new ring on her left hand with a smile . `` And Miss Lavendar 's wedding seemed to come as a sort of crown to it . I suppose Mr. and Mrs. Irving are on the Pacific coast now . '' `` It seems to me they have been gone long enough to go around the world , '' sighed Anne . `` I ca n't believe it is only a week since they were married . Everything has changed . Miss Lavendar and Mr. and Mrs. Allan gone -- how lonely the manse looks with the shutters all closed ! I went past it last night , and it made me feel as if everybody in it had died . '' `` We 'll never get another minister as nice as Mr. Allan , '' said Diana , with gloomy conviction . `` I suppose we 'll have all kinds of supplies this winter , and half the Sundays no preaching at all . And you and Gilbert gone -- it will be awfully dull . '' `` Fred will be here , '' insinuated Anne slyly . `` When is Mrs. Lynde going to move up ? '' asked Diana , as if she had not heard Anne 's remark . `` Tomorrow . I 'm glad she 's coming -- but it will be another change . Marilla and I cleared everything out of the spare room yesterday . Do you know , I hated to do it ? Of course , it was silly -- but it did seem as if we were committing sacrilege . That old spare room has always seemed like a shrine to me .
When I was a child I thought it the most wonderful apartment in the XXXXX .
