Mable's eyes widened in delight as Anne spoke about her pretend games, and all the fascinating things she thought about. Travelling in far away places wasn't all that far from what Mable would pretend herself, though the younger girl's scenarios where a bit more fantastical than her new friends.
"Oh, Anne, you're not too old for make-believe at all!" Mable reassured. "My brother plays pretend with me sometimes when I'm very bored, and he's practically a man. We pretend to be fairies though, sometimes animals. But being an educated nurse is so much more interesting! Would you like to be one in real life one day? Is that how you'd like to make your money one day?"
She hadn't known Anne for very long, but she did not seem stupid. Mable thought she could be a very smart nurse if she wanted to.
"A travelling nurse too! I've not a clue what Mont Black is, but I'm sure it's beautiful. Where is it? What a fun game, Anne, do you think we could play some time together?"
