CHAPTER II

DEW OF MORNING

Outside, the Ingleside lawn was full of golden pools of sunshine and plots of alluring shadows. Rilla Blythe was swinging in the hammock under the big Scotch pine, Gertrude Oliver sat at its roots beside her, and Walter was stretched at full length on the grass, lost in a romance of chivalry wherein old heroes and beauties of dead and gone centuries lived vividly again for him.

Rilla was the "baby" of the Blythe family and was in a chronic state of secret indignation because nobody believed she was grown up. She was so nearly fifteen that she called herself that, and she was quite as tall as Di and Nan; also, she was nearly as pretty as Susan believed her to be. She had great, dreamy, hazel eyes, a milky skin dappled with little golden freckles, and delicately arched eyebrows, giving her a demure, questioning look which made people, especially lads in their teens, want to answer it. Her hair was ripely, ruddily brown and a little dent in her upper lip looked as if some good fairy had pressed it in with her finger at Rilla's christening. Rilla, whose best friends could not deny her share of vanity, thought her face would do very well, but worried over her figure, and wished her mother could be prevailed upon to let her wear longer dresses. She, who had been so plump and roly-poly in the old Rainbow Valley days, was incredibly slim now, in the arms-and-legs period. Jem and Shirley harrowed her soul by calling her "Spider." Yet she somehow escaped awkwardness. There was something in her movements that made you think she never walked but always danced. She had been much petted and was a wee bit spoiled, but still the general opinion was that Rilla Blythe was a very sweet girl, even if she were not so clever as Nan and Di.

One day at a park, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. "That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater. "He's a lovely boy," the man said. "That's my daughter on the bike in the white dress." Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter, "We have to leave for home now, Rosa." "Just five minutes, Dad," Rosa said, "Please, just five more minutes." The man agreed and Rosa went to ride his bike happily. Five minutes later, the father stood and called again to his daughter, "Time to go now?" "Five more minutes, Dad," Rosa said again, "Just five more minutes." The man smiled and said, "OK." "Oh, you are really a patient father," said the woman. The man smiled and then said, "Her elder brother Tommy died in a traffic accident last year when he was riding his bike near here," the man said, "I never spent much time with Tommy and now I'd like to give anything for just five more minutes with him. I vowed not to make the same mistake with Rosa. She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. In fact, I get five more minutes to watch her play."
