If I had to die young, I would want it to be of consumption.

Who wouldn't?
Although, really, I would want it to be a GALLOPING consumption! And I'd want Mrs. Rachel Lynde there with the play-by-play.
"Ruby Gillis is dying of galloping consumption," said Mrs. Lynde bluntly. "Everybody knows it except herself and her FAMILY. They won't give in. If you ask THEM, she's perfectly well. She hasn't been able to teach since she had that attack of congestion in the winter, but she says she's going to teach again in the fall, and she's after the White Sands school.She'll be in her grave, poor girl, when White Sands school opens, that's what."
