1"Not a great deal. I went a little the last year I stayed with Mrs. Thomas. When I went up river we were so far from a
2school that I couldn't walk it in winter and there was vacation in summer, so I could only go in the spring and fall.
3But of course I went while I was at the asylum. I can read pretty well and I know ever so many pieces of poetry off by
4heart--'The Battle of Hohenlinden' and 'Edinburgh after Flodden,' and 'Bingen on the Rhine,' and lots of the 'Lady of
5the Lake' and most of 'The Seasons,' by James Thompson. Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up
6and down your back? There is a piece in the Fifth Reader--'The Downfall of Poland'--that is just full of thrills. Of
7course, I wasn't in the Fifth Reader--I was only in the Fourth--but the big girls used to lend me theirs to read." "Were
8those women--Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Hammond--good to you?" asked Marilla, looking at Anne out of the corner of her eye.
9"O-o-o-h," faltered Anne. Her sensitive little face suddenly flushed scarlet and embarrassment sat on her brow. "Oh,
10they meant to be--I know they meant to be just as good and kind as possible. And when people mean to be good to you, you
11don't mind very much when they're not quite--always. They had a good deal to worry them, you know. It's very trying to
12have a drunken husband, you see; and it must be very trying to have twins three times in succession, don't you think?
13But I feel sure they meant to be good to me." Marilla asked no more questions. Anne gave herself up to a silent rapture
14over the shore road and Marilla guided the sorrel abstractedly while she pondered deeply. Pity was suddenly stirring in
15her heart for the child. What a starved, unloved life she had had--a life of drudgery and poverty and neglect; for
16Marilla was shrewd enough to read between the lines of Anne's history and divine the truth. No wonder she had been so
17delighted at the prospect of a real home. It was a pity she had to be sent back. What if she, Marilla, should indulge
18Matthew's unaccountable whim and let her stay? He was set on it; and the child seemed a nice, teachable little thing.
19"She's got too much to say," thought Marilla, "but she might be trained out of that. And there's nothing rude or slangy
20in what she does say. She's ladylike. It's likely her people were nice folks." The shore road was "woodsy and wild and
21lonesome." On the right hand, scrub firs, their spirits quite unbroken by long years of tussle with the gulf winds, grew
22thickly. On the left were the steep red sandstone cliffs, so near the track in places that a mare of less steadiness
23than the sorrel might have tried the nerves of the people behind her. Down at the base of the cliffs were heaps of
24surf-worn rocks or little sandy coves inlaid with pebbles as with ocean jewels; beyond lay the sea, shimmering and blue,
25and over it soared the gulls, their pinions flashing silvery in the sunlight. "Isn't the sea wonderful?" said Anne,
26rousing from a long, wide-eyed silence. "Once, when I lived in Marysville, Mr. Thomas hired an express wagon and took us
27all to spend the day at the shore ten miles away. I enjoyed every moment of that day, even if I had to look after the
28children all the time. I lived it over in happy dreams for years. But this shore is nicer than the Marysville shore.
29Aren't those gulls splendid? Would you like to be a gull? I think I would--that is, if I couldn't be a human girl. Don't
30you think it would be nice to wake up at sunrise and swoop down over the water and away out over that lovely blue all
31day; and then at night to fly back to one's nest? Oh, I can just imagine myself doing it. What big house is that just
32ahead, please?" "That's the White Sands Hotel. Mr. Kirke runs it, but the season hasn't begun yet. There are heaps of
33Americans come there for the summer. They think this shore is just about right." "I was afraid it might be Mrs.
34Spencer's place," said Anne mournfully. "I don't want to get there. Somehow, it will seem like the end of everything."
