It's only that Cousin Ernestine Bugle is catching.
I know now why Rebecca Due has always called her 'Miss Much Afraid'. The poor soul has borrowed so much trouble she must be hopelessly in debt to fate.
There are so many Bugles in the world, not many quite so far gone in Buglism as Cousin Ernestine perhaps; but so many kill-joys, afraid to enjoy today because of what tomorrow will bring.
Anne of Windy Willows, p209-10
