La señora Rachel Lynde vivía donde el camino real de Avonlea baja a un pequeño valle orlado de alisos y zarcillos, y cruzado por un arroyo que nace en los bosques de la vieja posesión de los Cuthbert. El arroyo tenía reputación de ser torrencial e intrincado en su curso superior, entre los bosques, con secretos y oscuros remansos y cascadas; pero al llegar al Lynde's Hollow era una pequeña corriente, tranquila y bien educada, pues ni siquiera un arroyo podría pasar frente a la puerta de la señora Rachel Lynde sin el debido respeto por la decencia y el decoro.
