1"Oh, I didn't let him in the house. I remembered what you told me, and I went out, carefully shut the door, and looked
2at his things on the step. Besides, he wasn't an Italian--he was a German Jew. He had a big box full of very interesting
3things and he told me he was working hard to make enough money to bring his wife and children out from Germany. He spoke
4so feelingly about them that it touched my heart. I wanted to buy something from him to help him in such a worthy
5object. Then all at once I saw the bottle of hair dye. The peddler said it was warranted to dye any hair a beautiful
6raven black and wouldn't wash off. In a trice I saw myself with beautiful raven-black hair and the temptation was
7irresistible. But the price of the bottle was seventy-five cents and I had only fifty cents left out of my chicken
8money. I think the peddler had a very kind heart, for he said that, seeing it was me, he'd sell it for fifty cents and
9that was just giving it away. So I bought it, and as soon as he had gone I came up here and applied it with an old
10hairbrush as the directions said. I used up the whole bottle, and oh, Marilla, when I saw the dreadful color it turned
11my hair I repented of being wicked, I can tell you. And I've been repenting ever since." "Well, I hope you'll repent to
12good purpose," said Marilla severely, "and that you've got your eyes opened to where your vanity has led you, Anne.
13Goodness knows what's to be done. I suppose the first thing is to give your hair a good washing and see if that will do
14any good." Accordingly, Anne washed her hair, scrubbing it vigorously with soap and water, but for all the difference it
15made she might as well have been scouring its original red. The peddler had certainly spoken the truth when he declared
16that the dye wouldn't wash off, however his veracity might be impeached in other respects. "Oh, Marilla, what shall I
17do?" questioned Anne in tears. "I can never live this down. People have pretty well forgotten my other mistakes--the
18liniment cake and setting Diana drunk and flying into a temper with Mrs. Lynde. But they'll never forget this. They will
19think I am not respectable. Oh, Marilla, 'what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.' That is
20poetry, but it is true. And oh, how Josie Pye will laugh! Marilla, I cannot face Josie Pye. I am the unhappiest girl in
21Prince Edward Island." Anne's unhappiness continued for a week. During that time she went nowhere and shampooed her hair
22every day. Diana alone of outsiders knew the fatal secret, but she promised solemnly never to tell, and it may be stated
23here and now that she kept her word. At the end of the week Marilla said decidedly: "It's no use, Anne. That is fast dye
24if ever there was any. Your hair must be cut off; there is no other way. You can't go out with it looking like that."
25Anne's lips quivered, but she realized the bitter truth of Marilla's remarks. With a dismal sigh she went for the
26scissors. "Please cut it off at once, Marilla, and have it over. Oh, I feel that my heart is broken. This is such an
27unromantic affliction. The girls in books lose their hair in fevers or sell it to get money for some good deed, and I'm
28sure I wouldn't mind losing my hair in some such fashion half so much. But there is nothing comforting in having your
29hair cut off because you've dyed it a dreadful color, is there? I'm going to weep all the time you're cutting it off, if
30it won't interfere. It seems such a tragic thing." Anne wept then, but later on, when she went upstairs and looked in
31the glass, she was calm with despair. Marilla had done her work thoroughly and it had been necessary to shingle the hair
32as closely as possible. The result was not becoming, to state the case as mildly as may be. Anne promptly turned her
33glass to the wall. "I'll never, never look at myself again until my hair grows," she exclaimed passionately. Then she
34suddenly righted the glass. "Yes, I will, too. I'd do penance for being wicked that way. I'll look at myself every time
35I come to my room and see how ugly I am. And I won't try to imagine it away, either. I never thought I was vain about my
36hair, of all things, but now I know I was, in spite of its being red, because it was so long and thick and curly. I
37expect something will happen to my nose next." Anne's clipped head made a sensation in school on the following Monday,
38but to her relief nobody guessed the real reason for it, not even Josie Pye, who, however, did not fail to inform Anne
39that she looked like a perfect scarecrow. "I didn't say anything when Josie said that to me," Anne confided that evening
40to Marilla, who was lying on the sofa after one of her headaches, "because I thought it was part of my punishment and I
41ought to bear it patiently. It's hard to be told you look like a scarecrow and I wanted to say something back. But I
42didn't. I just swept her one scornful look and then I forgave her. It makes you feel very virtuous when you forgive
43people, doesn't it? I mean to devote all my energies to being good after this and I shall never try to be beautiful
44again. Of course it's better to be good. I know it is, but it's sometimes so hard to believe a thing even when you know
45it. I do really want to be good, Marilla, like you and Mrs. Allan and Miss Stacy, and grow up to be a credit to you.
46Diana says when my hair begins to grow to tie a black velvet ribbon around my head with a bow at one side. She says she
47thinks it will be very becoming. I will call it a snood--that sounds so romantic. But am I talking too much, Marilla?
48Does it hurt your head?" "My head is better now. It was terrible bad this afternoon, though. These headaches of mine are
49getting worse and worse. I'll have to see a doctor about them. As for your chatter, I don't know that I mind it--I've
50got so used to it." Which was Marilla's way of saying that she liked to hear it.
