Explore "Mistress Pat" by Lucy Maud Montgomery on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There were many times in the year following Judy's death when cold waves of pain went over Pat. At first it seemed literally impossible to carry on without Judy. Life seemed very savourless now that Judy's tales were all told. But Pat found, as others have done, that "we forget because we must." Life began to be livable again and then sweet. Silver Bush seemed to cry to her, "Make me home-like again. keep my rooms lighted. my heart warmed. Bring young laughter here to keep me from growing old."
Almost every one she had loved was changed or gone. the old voices of gladness sounded no more. but Silver Bush was still the same.
