1DEAR me, there is nothing but meetings and partings in this world, as Mrs. Lynde says," remarked Anne plaintively,
2putting her slate and books down on the kitchen table on the last day of June and wiping her red eyes with a very damp
3handkerchief. "Wasn't it fortunate, Marilla, that I took an extra handkerchief to school today? I had a presentiment
4that it would be needed." "I never thought you were so fond of Mr. Phillips that you'd require two handkerchiefs to dry
5your tears just because he was going away," said Marilla. "I don't think I was crying because I was really so very fond
6of him," reflected Anne. "I just cried because all the others did. It was Ruby Gillis started it. Ruby Gillis has always
7declared she hated Mr. Phillips, but just as soon as he got up to make his farewell speech she burst into tears. Then
8all the girls began to cry, one after the other. I tried to hold out, Marilla. I tried to remember the time Mr. Phillips
9made me sit with Gil--with a boy; and the time he spelled my name without an 'e' on the blackboard; and how he said I
10was the worst dunce he ever saw at geometry and laughed at my spelling; and all the times he had been so horrid and
11sarcastic; but somehow I couldn't, Marilla, and I just had to cry too. Jane Andrews has been talking for a month about
12how glad she'd be when Mr. Phillips went away and she declared she'd never shed a tear. Well, she was worse than any of
13us and had to borrow a handkerchief from her brother--of course the boys didn't cry--because she hadn't brought one of
14her own, not expecting to need it. Oh, Marilla, it was heartrending. Mr. Phillips made such a beautiful farewell speech
15beginning, 'The time has come for us to part.' It was very affecting. And he had tears in his eyes too, Marilla. Oh, I
16felt dreadfully sorry and remorseful for all the times I'd talked in school and drawn pictures of him on my slate and
17made fun of him and Prissy. I can tell you I wished I'd been a model pupil like Minnie Andrews. She hadn't anything on
18her conscience. The girls cried all the way home from school. Carrie Sloane kept saying every few minutes, 'The time has
19come for us to part,' and that would start us off again whenever we were in any danger of cheering up. I do feel
20dreadfully sad, Marilla. But one can't feel quite in the depths of despair with two months' vacation before them, can
21they, Marilla? And besides, we met the new minister and his wife coming from the station. For all I was feeling so bad
22about Mr. Phillips going away I couldn't help taking a little interest in a new minister, could I? His wife is very
23pretty. Not exactly regally lovely, of course--it wouldn't do, I suppose, for a minister to have a regally lovely wife,
24because it might set a bad example. Mrs. Lynde says the minister's wife over at Newbridge sets a very bad example
25because she dresses so fashionably. Our new minister's wife was dressed in blue muslin with lovely puffed sleeves and a
26hat trimmed with roses. Jane Andrews said she thought puffed sleeves were too worldly for a minister's wife, but I
27didn't make any such uncharitable remark, Marilla, because I know what it is to long for puffed sleeves. Besides, she's
28only been a minister's wife for a little while, so one should make allowances, shouldn't they? They are going to board
29with Mrs. Lynde until the manse is ready." If Marilla, in going down to Mrs. Lynde's that evening, was actuated by any
30motive save her avowed one of returning the quilting frames she had borrowed the preceding winter, it was an amiable
31weakness shared by most of the Avonlea people. Many a thing Mrs. Lynde had lent, sometimes never expecting to see it
32again, came home that night in charge of the borrowers thereof. A new minister, and moreover a minister with a wife, was
33a lawful object of curiosity in a quiet little country settlement where sensations were few and far between. Old Mr.
34Bentley, the minister whom Anne had found lacking in imagination, had been pastor of Avonlea for eighteen years. He was
35a widower when he came, and a widower he remained, despite the fact that gossip regularly married him to this, that, or
36the other one, every year of his sojourn. In the preceding February he had resigned his charge and departed amid the
37regrets of his people, most of whom had the affection born of long intercourse for their good old minister in spite of
38his shortcomings as an orator. Since then the Avonlea church had enjoyed a variety of religious dissipation in listening
39to the many and various candidates and "supplies" who came Sunday after Sunday to preach on trial. These stood or fell
40by the judgment of the fathers and mothers in Israel; but a certain small, red-haired girl who sat meekly in the corner
41of the old Cuthbert pew also had her opinions about them and discussed the same in full with Matthew, Marilla always
42declining from principle to criticize ministers in any shape or form. "I don't think Mr. Smith would have done, Matthew"
43was Anne's final summing up. "Mrs. Lynde says his delivery was so poor, but I think his worst fault was just like Mr.
44Bentley's--he had no imagination. And Mr. Terry had too much; he let it run away with him just as I did mine in the
45matter of the Haunted Wood. Besides, Mrs. Lynde says his theology wasn't sound. Mr. Gresham was a very good man and a
46very religious man, but he told too many funny stories and made the people laugh in church; he was undignified, and you
47must have some dignity about a minister, mustn't you, Matthew? I thought Mr. Marshall was decidedly attractive; but Mrs.
48Lynde says he isn't married, or even engaged, because she made special inquiries about him, and she says it would never
49do to have a young unmarried minister in Avonlea, because he might marry in the congregation and that would make
50trouble. Mrs. Lynde is a very farseeing woman, isn't she, Matthew? I'm very glad they've called Mr. Allan. I liked him
51because his sermon was interesting and he prayed as if he meant it and not just as if he did it because he was in the
52habit of it. Mrs. Lynde says he isn't perfect, but she says she supposes we couldn't expect a perfect minister for seven
53hundred and fifty dollars a year, and anyhow his theology is sound because she questioned him thoroughly on all the
54points of doctrine. And she knows his wife's people and they are most respectable and the women are all good
55housekeepers. Mrs. Lynde says that sound doctrine in the man and good housekeeping in the woman make an ideal
56combination for a minister's family." The new minister and his wife were a young, pleasant-faced couple, still on their
57honeymoon, and full of all good and beautiful enthusiasms for their chosen lifework. Avonlea opened its heart to them
58from the start. Old and young liked the frank, cheerful young man with his high ideals, and the bright, gentle little
59lady who assumed the mistress-ship of the manse. With Mrs. Allan Anne fell promptly and wholeheartedly in love. She had
60discovered another kindred spirit. "Mrs. Allan is perfectly lovely," she announced one Sunday afternoon. "She's taken
61our class and she's a splendid teacher. She said right away she didn't think it was fair for the teacher to ask all the
62questions, and you know, Marilla, that is exactly what I've always thought. She said we could ask her any question we
63liked and I asked ever so many. I'm good at asking questions, Marilla." "I believe you," was Marilla's emphatic comment.
