Emily and Dean speak of the Alhambra, from "Emily Climbs"



"This evening after school Dean and I began to read The Alhambra over again, sitting on the stone bench in the garden. That book always makes me feel as if I had opened a little door and stepped
straight into fairyland.

"'How I would love to see the Alhambra!' I said.


"'We will go to see it sometime--together,' said Dean
.

"'Oh, that would be LOVELY,' I cried. 'Do you think we can ever manage it, Dean?'


 "Before Dean could answer I heard Teddy's whistle in Lofty John's bush--the dear little whistle of two short high notes and one long low one, that is OUR SIGNAL."


From "Emily Climbs", by LM Montgomery
