I wo n't admit that it is rheumatism , but it does ache . As for the children , they and the Merediths are planning a gay summer before they have to go back to studies in the fall . They are such a fun-loving little crowd . They keep this house in a perpetual whirl of merriment . '' `` Is Rilla going to Queen 's when Shirley goes back ? '' `` It is n't decided yet . I rather fancy not . Her father thinks she is not quite strong enough -- she has rather outgrown her strength -- she 's really absurdly tall for a girl not yet fifteen . I am not anxious to have her go -- why , it would be terrible not to have a single one of my babies home with me next winter . Susan and I would fall to fighting with each other to break the monotony . '' Susan smiled at this pleasantry . The idea of her fighting with `` Mrs. Dr. dear ! '' `` Does Rilla herself want to go ? '' asked Miss Cornelia . `` No . The truth is , Rilla is the only one of my flock who is n't ambitious . I really wish she had a little more ambition . She has no serious ideals at all -- her sole aspiration seems to be to have a good time . '' `` And why should she not have it , Mrs. Dr. dear ? '' cried Susan , who could not bear to hear a single word against anyone of the Ingleside folk , even from one of themselves .
`` A young XXXXX should have a good time , and that I will maintain .
