Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Surprised\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down\u003cbr\u003einto a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops and\u003cbr\u003etraversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the\u003cbr\u003eold Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook\u003cbr\u003ein its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool\u003cbr\u003eand cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet,\u003cbr\u003ewell-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs.\u003cbr\u003eRachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it\u003cbr\u003eprobably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window,\u003cbr\u003ekeeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children\u003cbr\u003eup, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never\u003cbr\u003erest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are plenty of people in Avonlea and out of it, who can attend\u003cbr\u003eclosely to their neighbor's business by dint of neglecting their own;\u003cbr\u003ebut Mrs. Rachel Lynde was one of those capable creatures who can manage\u003cbr\u003etheir own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain. She was a\u003cbr\u003enotable housewife; her work was always done and well done; she \"ran\" the\u003cbr\u003eSewing Circle, helped run the Sunday-school, and was the strongest prop\u003cbr\u003eof the Church Aid Society and Foreign Missions Auxiliary. Yet with all\u003cbr\u003ethis Mrs. Rachel found abundant time to sit for hours at her kitchen\u003cbr\u003ewindow, knitting \"cotton warp\" quilts--she had knitted sixteen of them,\u003cbr\u003eas Avonlea housekeepers were wont to tell in awed voices--and keeping\u003cbr\u003ea sharp eye on the main road that crossed the hollow and wound up\u003cbr\u003ethe steep red hill beyond. Since Avonlea occupied a little triangular\u003cbr\u003epeninsula jutting out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence with water on two\u003cbr\u003esides of it, anybody who went out of it or into it had to pass over that\u003cbr\u003ehill road and so run the unseen gauntlet of Mrs. Rachel's all-seeing\u003cbr\u003eeye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe was sitting there one afternoon in early June. The sun was coming in\u003cbr\u003eat the window warm and bright; the orchard on the slope below the house\u003cbr\u003ewas in a bridal flush of pinky-white bloom, hummed over by a myriad of\u003cbr\u003ebees. Thomas Lynde--a meek little man whom Avonlea people called \"Rachel\u003cbr\u003eLynde's husband\"--was sowing his late turnip seed on the hill field\u003cbr\u003ebeyond the barn; and Matthew Cuthbert ought to have been sowing his on\u003cbr\u003ethe big red brook field away over by Green Gables. Mrs. Rachel knew\u003cbr\u003ethat he ought because she had heard him tell Peter Morrison the evening\u003cbr\u003ebefore in William J. Blair's store over at Carmody that he meant to sow\u003cbr\u003ehis turnip seed the next afternoon.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068549906672,"sku":"2940012798695","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012798695_p0.jpg?v=1763572744","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012798695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
