1Diana hadn't the least idea what Anne meant but she understood it was something terrible. "You mustn't mind Gilbert
2making fun of your hair," she said soothingly. "Why, he makes fun of all the girls. He laughs at mine because it's so
3black. He's called me a crow a dozen times; and I never heard him apologize for anything before, either." "There's a
4great deal of difference between being called a crow and being called carrots," said Anne with dignity. "Gilbert Blythe
5has hurt my feelings excruciatingly, Diana." It is possible the matter might have blown over without more excruciation
6if nothing else had happened. But when things begin to happen they are apt to keep on. Avonlea scholars often spent noon
7hour picking gum in Mr. Bell's spruce grove over the hill and across his big pasture field. From there they could keep
8an eye on Eben Wright's house, where the master boarded. When they saw Mr. Phillips emerging therefrom they ran for the
9schoolhouse; but the distance being about three times longer than Mr. Wright's lane they were very apt to arrive there,
10breathless and gasping, some three minutes too late. On the following day Mr. Phillips was seized with one of his
11spasmodic fits of reform and announced before going home to dinner, that he should expect to find all the scholars in
12their seats when he returned. Anyone who came in late would be punished. All the boys and some of the girls went to Mr.
13Bell's spruce grove as usual, fully intending to stay only long enough to "pick a chew." But spruce groves are seductive
14and yellow nuts of gum beguiling; they picked and loitered and strayed; and as usual the first thing that recalled them
15to a sense of the flight of time was Jimmy Glover shouting from the top of a patriarchal old spruce "Master's coming."
16The girls who were on the ground, started first and managed to reach the schoolhouse in time but without a second to
17spare. The boys, who had to wriggle hastily down from the trees, were later; and Anne, who had not been picking gum at
18all but was wandering happily in the far end of the grove, waist deep among the bracken, singing softly to herself, with
19a wreath of rice lilies on her hair as if she were some wild divinity of the shadowy places, was latest of all. Anne
20could run like a deer, however; run she did with the impish result that she overtook the boys at the door and was swept
21into the schoolhouse among them just as Mr. Phillips was in the act of hanging up his hat. Mr. Phillips's brief
22reforming energy was over; he didn't want the bother of punishing a dozen pupils; but it was necessary to do something
23to save his word, so he looked about for a scapegoat and found it in Anne, who had dropped into her seat, gasping for
24breath, with a forgotten lily wreath hanging askew over one ear and giving her a particularly rakish and disheveled
25appearance. "Anne Shirley, since you seem to be so fond of the boys' company we shall indulge your taste for it this
26afternoon," he said sarcastically. "Take those flowers out of your hair and sit with Gilbert Blythe." The other boys
27snickered. Diana, turning pale with pity, plucked the wreath from Anne's hair and squeezed her hand. Anne stared at the
28master as if turned to stone. "Did you hear what I said, Anne?" queried Mr. Phillips sternly. "Yes, sir," said Anne
29slowly "but I didn't suppose you really meant it." "I assure you I did"--still with the sarcastic inflection which all
30the children, and Anne especially, hated. It flicked on the raw. "Obey me at once." For a moment Anne looked as if she
31meant to disobey. Then, realizing that there was no help for it, she rose haughtily, stepped across the aisle, sat down
32beside Gilbert Blythe, and buried her face in her arms on the desk. Ruby Gillis, who got a glimpse of it as it went
33down, told the others going home from school that she'd "acksually never seen anything like it--it was so white, with
34awful little red spots in it." To Anne, this was as the end of all things. It was bad enough to be singled out for
35punishment from among a dozen equally guilty ones; it was worse still to be sent to sit with a boy, but that that boy
36should be Gilbert Blythe was heaping insult on injury to a degree utterly unbearable. Anne felt that she could not bear
37it and it would be of no use to try. Her whole being seethed with shame and anger and humiliation. At first the other
38scholars looked and whispered and giggled and nudged. But as Anne never lifted her head and as Gilbert worked fractions
39as if his whole soul was absorbed in them and them only, they soon returned to their own tasks and Anne was forgotten.
40When Mr. Phillips called the history class out Anne should have gone, but Anne did not move, and Mr. Phillips, who had
41been writing some verses "To Priscilla" before he called the class, was thinking about an obstinate rhyme still and
42never missed her. Once, when nobody was looking, Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto
43on it, "You are sweet," and slipped it under the curve of Anne's arm. Whereupon Anne arose, took the pink heart gingerly
44between the tips of her fingers, dropped it on the floor, ground it to powder beneath her heel, and resumed her position
45without deigning to bestow a glance on Gilbert. When school went out Anne marched to her desk, ostentatiously took out
46everything therein, books and writing tablet, pen and ink, testament and arithmetic, and piled them neatly on her
47cracked slate. "What are you taking all those things home for, Anne?" Diana wanted to know, as soon as they were out on
48the road. She had not dared to ask the question before. "I am not coming back to school any more," said Anne. Diana
49gasped and stared at Anne to see if she meant it. "Will Marilla let you stay home?" she asked. "She'll have to," said
50Anne. "I'll never go to school to that man again." "Oh, Anne!" Diana looked as if she were ready to cry. "I do think
51you're mean. What shall I do? Mr. Phillips will make me sit with that horrid Gertie Pye--I know he will because she is
52sitting alone. Do come back, Anne." "I'd do almost anything in the world for you, Diana," said Anne sadly. "I'd let
53myself be torn limb from limb if it would do you any good. But I can't do this, so please don't ask it. You harrow up my
54very soul." "Just think of all the fun you will miss," mourned Diana. "We are going to build the loveliest new house
55down by the brook; and we'll be playing ball next week and you've never played ball, Anne. It's tremendously exciting.
56And we're going to learn a new song--Jane Andrews is practicing it up now; and Alice Andrews is going to bring a new
57Pansy book next week and we're all going to read it out loud, chapter about, down by the brook. And you know you are so
58fond of reading out loud, Anne." Nothing moved Anne in the least. Her mind was made up. She would not go to school to
59Mr. Phillips again; she told Marilla so when she got home. "Nonsense," said Marilla. "It isn't nonsense at all," said
60Anne, gazing at Marilla with solemn, reproachful eyes. "Don't you understand, Marilla? I've been insulted." "Insulted
61fiddlesticks! You'll go to school tomorrow as usual." "Oh, no." Anne shook her head gently. "I'm not going back,
62Marilla. I'll learn my lessons at home and I'll be as good as I can be and hold my tongue all the time if it's possible
63at all. But I will not go back to school, I assure you." Marilla saw something remarkably like unyielding stubbornness
64looking out of Anne's small face. She understood that she would have trouble in overcoming it; but she resolved wisely
65to say nothing more just then. "I'll run down and see Rachel about it this evening," she thought. "There's no use
66reasoning with Anne now. She's too worked up and I've an idea she can be awful stubborn if she takes the notion. Far as
67I can make out from her story, Mr. Phillips has been carrying matters with a rather high hand. But it would never do to
68say so to her. I'll just talk it over with Rachel. She's sent ten children to school and she ought to know something
69about it. She'll have heard the whole story, too, by this time."
