Explore "Kilmeny of the Orchard" by Lucy Maud Montgomery on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Eric betook himself to the orchard the next evening he had to admit that he felt rather nervous. He did not know how the Gordons would receive him and certainly the reports he had heard of them were not encouraging, to say the least of it. Even Mrs. Williamson, when he had told her where he was going, seemed to look upon him as one bent on bearding a lion in his den.
"I do hope they won't be very uncivil to you, Master," was the best she could say.
