Aren’t those gulls splendid? Would you like to be a gull? I think I would—that is, if I couldn’t be a human girl.

There are heaps of Americans come there for the summer. They think this shore is just about right.” “I was afraid it might be Mrs. Spencer’s place,” said Anne mournfully. “I don’t want to get there. Somehow, it will seem like the end of everything.”
