Hello, this is Shannon Brooke Lashley reading Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery chapter one, Mrs Rachel Lind is surprised Mrs Rachel Lind lived just where the Avon Lee main road dipped down into a little hollow fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place. It was reputed to be an intricate headlong broke in its earlier course, those woods with dark secrets of pool and cascade. But by the time it reached Lynn's hollow, it was a quiet, well conducted little stream for not even a brook could run past Mrs Rachel Lynn's door. Without due regard for decency and decorum. It probably was conscious that Mrs Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed from Brooks and Children up and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place, she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof. There are plenty of people in a and out of it who can attend closely to their neighbor's business by dent of neglecting their own. But Mrs Rachel Lin was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain. She was a notable housewife. Her work was always done and well done. She ran the sewing circle, helped run the Sunday school and was the strongest prop of the church aid society and foreign missions auxiliary. Yet, with all of this, Mrs Rachel found abundant time to sit for hours at her kitchen window, knitting cotton warp quilts. She a knitted 16 of them as a lee housekeepers were want to tell in odd voices and keeping a sharp eye on the main road that crossed the hollow and wound up the steep red hill beyond. Since Aley occupied a little triangular peninsula jutting out into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence with water on two sides of it. Anybody who went out of it or into it had to pass over that hill road and so run the unseen gauntlet of Mrs Rachel's all seeing eye.
