That night Ken stayed at Ingleside and visited with his old family friends.
When Dr. Blythe got home Ken was suddenly nervous. He had grown up around
this man and this family. Dr. Blythe was like a second father to him and
now he was in love with Rilla and now out of the blue he is nervous. Ken
decided that his "important" question could be held off a few days. First
he wanted to spend time with everyone and with Rilla.
"Hello Ken. Nice to have you back. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business I need to attend to, but I will be joining you for dinner."
As Gilbert walked past Ken he patted his shoulder and smiled. For Anne had told him of Ken's affection for Rilla and the Dr. knew that it would be any day now that Ken would propose. Gilbert was alarmed at first and then realized that Kenneth Ford is the perfect man for Rilla, especially since Ken worships the ground she walks on and Rilla returns the feelings.
Gilbert left the room and Anne began the light chatter that had been going on before. Then, not two seconds later, there was a knocking at the door. Rilla stood from her chair and walked over to the door to open it. Ken watched Rilla as she did so. Soft, graceful movements, an exquisitely beautiful dress that compliments her wonderful creamy, white skin. Ken thought she was breathtaking and went almost as far as to think she was an angel sent from heaven.
Rilla opened the door and there stood Miss Cornelia, Mrs.Marshall Elliot really, looking as though she had some wonderful secret she was ready to spill. Rilla almost laughed at the sight of her for she looked as If she would burst if she didn't speak soon about whatever it was. Rilla invited her into the room gaily and let Miss Cornelia have the seat she had just been in. Rilla, seeing there were no chairs left, went and stood behind Ken's chair leaning slightly on the back of it.
"Did you hear what has happened?" asked Miss Cornelia excitedly knowing full well that they had no idea what had happened. Anne shook her head no and Miss Cornelia smiled and said, "Well then I shall tell you."
To be continued..
So do you like it, love it, hate it? What? I need inspiration if I am going to continue so just tell me if you thinkI should keep going. I know you're all dying to know what Miss Cornelia wants to tell, but truth is I am still trying to figure that out myself. Although I know it will be highly exciting. For everything Miss Cornelia tells is.
