1"Oh, Marilla, looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them," exclaimed Anne. "You mayn't get the things
2themselves; but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them. Mrs. Lynde says, 'Blessed are
3they who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed.' But I think it would be worse to expect nothing than to be
4disappointed." Marilla wore her amethyst brooch to church that day as usual. Marilla always wore her amethyst brooch to
5church. She would have thought it rather sacrilegious to leave it off--as bad as forgetting her Bible or her collection
6dime. That amethyst brooch was Marilla's most treasured possession. A seafaring uncle had given it to her mother who in
7turn had bequeathed it to Marilla. It was an old-fashioned oval, containing a braid of her mother's hair, surrounded by
8a border of very fine amethysts. Marilla knew too little about precious stones to realize how fine the amethysts
9actually were; but she thought them very beautiful and was always pleasantly conscious of their violet shimmer at her
10throat, above her good brown satin dress, even although she could not see it. Anne had been smitten with delighted
11admiration when she first saw that brooch. "Oh, Marilla, it's a perfectly elegant brooch. I don't know how you can pay
12attention to the sermon or the prayers when you have it on. I couldn't, I know. I think amethysts are just sweet. They
13are what I used to think diamonds were like. Long ago, before I had ever seen a diamond, I read about them and I tried
14to imagine what they would be like. I thought they would be lovely glimmering purple stones. When I saw a real diamond
15in a lady's ring one day I was so disappointed I cried. Of course, it was very lovely but it wasn't my idea of a
16diamond. Will you let me hold the brooch for one minute, Marilla? Do you think amethysts can be the souls of good
17violets?"
