Pat of Silver Bush

Pat and Bets were lingering by the little green gate at the top of the hill path, making plans. They were full of plans that spring . plans for the summer. plans for college in the fall. plans for life beyond. They were going to camp out for a week this summer. they were going to room together at Queen's. and in a few years' time they were going to take a trip to Europe. They had been planning imaginary journeys through all their years of comradeship but this one was going to be real. some day.

-"Isn't it fun to make plans?" Pat would say happily.
