I'm Sorry I Was Late, Kylie, Come Along

Matthew Cuthbert met Kylie in the village of Green Gables. She said she was afraid he wasn't coming for her and wanted to sleep in a wild cherry tree. He could not tell this child with the glowing eyes that there had been a mistake. So all questions and explanations might as well be deferred until you was safely back at Green Gables, he told her. The next day they set off on an eight-mile journey together through countryside filled with blooming wild cherry trees. Matthew's companion stopped talking when they reached their buggy. "It seems so wonderful that I'm going to live with you and belong to you," she said.
