1On the way upstairs she pondered uneasily as to what she ought to do. She felt no little dismay over the scene that had
2just been enacted. How unfortunate that Anne should have displayed such temper before Mrs. Rachel Lynde, of all people!
3Then Marilla suddenly became aware of an uncomfortable and rebuking consciousness that she felt more humiliation over
4this than sorrow over the discovery of such a serious defect in Anne's disposition. And how was she to punish her? The
5amiable suggestion of the birch switch--to the efficiency of which all of Mrs. Rachel's own children could have borne
6smarting testimony--did not appeal to Marilla. She did not believe she could whip a child. No, some other method of
7punishment must be found to bring Anne to a proper realization of the enormity of her offense. Marilla found Anne face
8downward on her bed, crying bitterly, quite oblivious of muddy boots on a clean counterpane. "Anne," she said not
9ungently. No answer. "Anne," with greater severity, "get off that bed this minute and listen to what I have to say to
10you." Anne squirmed off the bed and sat rigidly on a chair beside it, her face swollen and tear-stained and her eyes
11fixed stubbornly on the floor. "This is a nice way for you to behave. Anne! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" "She hadn't
12any right to call me ugly and redheaded," retorted Anne, evasive and defiant. "You hadn't any right to fly into such a
13fury and talk the way you did to her, Anne. I was ashamed of you--thoroughly ashamed of you. I wanted you to behave
14nicely to Mrs. Lynde, and instead of that you have disgraced me. I'm sure I don't know why you should lose your temper
15like that just because Mrs. Lynde said you were red-haired and homely. You say it yourself often enough." "Oh, but
16there's such a difference between saying a thing yourself and hearing other people say it," wailed Anne. "You may know a
17thing is so, but you can't help hoping other people don't quite think it is. I suppose you think I have an awful temper,
18but I couldn't help it. When she said those things something just rose right up in me and choked me. I had to fly out at
19her." "Well, you made a fine exhibition of yourself I must say. Mrs. Lynde will have a nice story to tell about you
20everywhere--and she'll tell it, too. It was a dreadful thing for you to lose your temper like that, Anne." "Just imagine
21how you would feel if somebody told you to your face that you were skinny and ugly," pleaded Anne tearfully. An old
22remembrance suddenly rose up before Marilla. She had been a very small child when she had heard one aunt say of her to
23another, "What a pity she is such a dark, homely little thing." Marilla was every day of fifty before the sting had gone
24out of that memory. "I don't say that I think Mrs. Lynde was exactly right in saying what she did to you, Anne," she
25admitted in a softer tone. "Rachel is too outspoken. But that is no excuse for such behavior on your part. She was a
26stranger and an elderly person and my visitor--all three very good reasons why you should have been respectful to her.
27You were rude and saucy and"--Marilla had a saving inspiration of punishment--"you must go to her and tell her you are
28very sorry for your bad temper and ask her to forgive you." "I can never do that," said Anne determinedly and darkly.
29"You can punish me in any way you like, Marilla. You can shut me up in a dark, damp dungeon inhabited by snakes and
30toads and feed me only on bread and water and I shall not complain. But I cannot ask Mrs. Lynde to forgive me." "We're
31not in the habit of shutting people up in dark damp dungeons," said Marilla drily, "especially as they're rather scarce
32in Avonlea. But apologize to Mrs. Lynde you must and shall and you'll stay here in your room until you can tell me
33you're willing to do it." "I shall have to stay here forever then," said Anne mournfully, "because I can't tell Mrs.
34Lynde I'm sorry I said those things to her. How can I? I'm not sorry. I'm sorry I've vexed you; but I'm glad I told her
35just what I did. It was a great satisfaction. I can't say I'm sorry when I'm not, can I? I can't even imagine I'm
36sorry." "Perhaps your imagination will be in better working order by the morning," said Marilla, rising to depart.
37"You'll have the night to think over your conduct in and come to a better frame of mind. You said you would try to be a
38very good girl if we kept you at Green Gables, but I must say it hasn't seemed very much like it this evening." Leaving
39this Parthian shaft to rankle in Anne's stormy bosom, Marilla descended to the kitchen, grievously troubled in mind and
40vexed in soul. She was as angry with herself as with Anne, because, whenever she recalled Mrs. Rachel's dumbfounded
41countenance her lips twitched with amusement and she felt a most reprehensible desire to laugh.
