1And at least neither Gilbert nor anybody else, not even Diana, should ever suspect how sorry she was and how much she
2wished she hadn't been so proud and horrid! She determined to "shroud her feelings in deepest oblivion," and it may be
3stated here and now that she did it, so successfully that Gilbert, who possibly was not quite so indifferent as he
4seemed, could not console himself with any belief that Anne felt his retaliatory scorn. The only poor comfort he had was
5that she snubbed Charlie Sloane, unmercifully, continually, and undeservedly. Otherwise the winter passed away in a
6round of pleasant duties and studies. For Anne the days slipped by like golden beads on the necklace of the year. She
7was happy, eager, interested; there were lessons to be learned and honor to be won; delightful books to read; new pieces
8to be practiced for the Sunday-school choir; pleasant Saturday afternoons at the manse with Mrs. Allan; and then, almost
9before Anne realized it, spring had come again to Green Gables and all the world was abloom once more. Studies palled
10just a wee bit then; the Queen's class, left behind in school while the others scattered to green lanes and leafy wood
11cuts and meadow byways, looked wistfully out of the windows and discovered that Latin verbs and French exercises had
12somehow lost the tang and zest they had possessed in the crisp winter months. Even Anne and Gilbert lagged and grew
13indifferent. Teacher and taught were alike glad when the term was ended and the glad vacation days stretched rosily
14before them. "But you've done good work this past year," Miss Stacy told them on the last evening, "and you deserve a
15good, jolly vacation. Have the best time you can in the out-of-door world and lay in a good stock of health and vitality
16and ambition to carry you through next year. It will be the tug of war, you know--the last year before the Entrance."
17"Are you going to be back next year, Miss Stacy?" asked Josie Pye. Josie Pye never scrupled to ask questions; in this
18instance the rest of the class felt grateful to her; none of them would have dared to ask it of Miss Stacy, but all
19wanted to, for there had been alarming rumors running at large through the school for some time that Miss Stacy was not
20coming back the next year--that she had been offered a position in the grade school of her own home district and meant
21to accept. The Queen's class listened in breathless suspense for her answer. "Yes, I think I will," said Miss Stacy. "I
22thought of taking another school, but I have decided to come back to Avonlea. To tell the truth, I've grown so
23interested in my pupils here that I found I couldn't leave them. So I'll stay and see you through." "Hurrah!" said Moody
24Spurgeon. Moody Spurgeon had never been so carried away by his feelings before, and he blushed uncomfortably every time
25he thought about it for a week. "Oh, I'm so glad," said Anne, with shining eyes. "Dear Stacy, it would be perfectly
26dreadful if you didn't come back. I don't believe I could have the heart to go on with my studies at all if another
27teacher came here." When Anne got home that night she stacked all her textbooks away in an old trunk in the attic,
28locked it, and threw the key into the blanket box. "I'm not even going to look at a schoolbook in vacation," she told
29Marilla. "I've studied as hard all the term as I possibly could and I've pored over that geometry until I know every
30proposition in the first book off by heart, even when the letters are changed. I just feel tired of everything sensible
31and I'm going to let my imagination run riot for the summer. Oh, you needn't be alarmed, Marilla. I'll only let it run
32riot within reasonable limits. But I want to have a real good jolly time this summer, for maybe it's the last summer
33I'll be a little girl. Mrs. Lynde says that if I keep stretching out next year as I've done this I'll have to put on
34longer skirts. She says I'm all running to legs and eyes. And when I put on longer skirts I shall feel that I have to
35live up to them and be very dignified. It won't even do to believe in fairies then, I'm afraid; so I'm going to believe
36in them with all my whole heart this summer. I think we're going to have a very gay vacation. Ruby Gillis is going to
37have a birthday party soon and there's the Sunday-school picnic and the missionary concert next month. And Mr. Barry
38says that some evening he'll take Diana and me over to the White Sands Hotel and have dinner there. They have dinner
39there in the evening, you know. Jane Andrews was over once last summer and she says it was a dazzling sight to see the
40electric lights and the flowers and all the lady guests in such beautiful dresses. Jane says it was her first glimpse
41into high life and she'll never forget it to her dying day." Mrs. Lynde came up the next afternoon to find out why
42Marilla had not been at the Aid meeting on Thursday. When Marilla was not at Aid meeting people knew there was something
43wrong at Green Gables. "Matthew had a bad spell with his heart Thursday," Marilla explained, "and I didn't feel like
44leaving him. Oh, yes, he's all right again now, but he takes them spells oftener than he used to and I'm anxious about
45him. The doctor says he must be careful to avoid excitement. That's easy enough, for Matthew doesn't go about looking
46for excitement by any means and never did, but he's not to do any very heavy work either and you might as well tell
47Matthew not to breathe as not to work. Come and lay off your things, Rachel. You'll stay to tea?" "Well, seeing you're
48so pressing, perhaps I might as well, stay" said Mrs. Rachel, who had not the slightest intention of doing anything
49else. Mrs. Rachel and Marilla sat comfortably in the parlor while Anne got the tea and made hot biscuits that were light
50and white enough to defy even Mrs. Rachel's criticism. "I must say Anne has turned out a real smart girl," admitted Mrs.
51Rachel, as Marilla accompanied her to the end of the lane at sunset. "She must be a great help to you." "She is," said
52Marilla, "and she's real steady and reliable now. I used to be afraid she'd never get over her featherbrained ways, but
53she has and I wouldn't be afraid to trust her in anything now." "I never would have thought she'd have turned out so
54well that first day I was here three years ago," said Mrs. Rachel. "Lawful heart, shall I ever forget that tantrum of
55hers! When I went home that night I says to Thomas, says I, 'Mark my words, Thomas, Marilla Cuthbert 'll live to rue the
56step she's took.' But I was mistaken and I'm real glad of it. I ain't one of those kind of people, Marilla, as can never
57be brought to own up that they've made a mistake. No, that never was my way, thank goodness. I did make a mistake in
58judging Anne, but it weren't no wonder, for an odder, unexpecteder witch of a child there never was in this world,
59that's what. There was no ciphering her out by the rules that worked with other children. It's nothing short of
60wonderful how she's improved these three years, but especially in looks. She's a real pretty girl got to be, though I
61can't say I'm overly partial to that pale, big-eyed style myself. I like more snap and color, like Diana Barry has or
62Ruby Gillis. Ruby Gillis's looks are real showy. But somehow--I don't know how it is but when Anne and them are
63together, though she ain't half as handsome, she makes them look kind of common and overdone--something like them white
64June lilies she calls narcissus alongside of the big, red peonies, that's what."
