"Why, I'm only eleven."
"I won't," declared Emily angrily. "I don't know a thing about beaux and I won't have one."
Ilse Burnley
Ilse is an awful wild queer girl and has an awful temper.
School was very different from what she had expected it to be, but that was the way in life, she had heard Ellen Greene say, and you just had to make the best of it.
Aunt Elizabeth did smile sometimes when she thought she had silenced some small person by exquisite ridicule.

Emily was insensibly becoming happy again.
She thought a great deal about the old Murrays; she liked to picture them revisiting the glimpses of New Moon—Great-grandmother
Aunt Elizabeth.
Aunt Elizabeth had become used to having Emily at New Moon but she had not drawn any nearer to the child. This hurt Emily always;

the Bugle Song

Tennyson, from The Princess:
The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story ;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle ; answer, echoes, dying, dying,
dying.
O, hark, O, hear! how thin and clear,
And thinner, clearer, farther going!
O, sweet and far from cliff and scar
The horns of Elfland faintly blowing!
Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying,
Blow, bugle ; answer, echoes, dying, dying,
dying.
O love, they die in yon rich sky,
They faint on hill or field or river ;
Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And grow for ever and for ever.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying,
dying.
The above song appears between the third and fourth parts of The Princess. It is listed under a variety of names in various anthologies, including: Splendor Falls, Blow, Bugle, Blow, He Hears the Bugle at Killarney, and Bugle Song.
