1All this might be quite true, and indeed, proved to be so, but it did not materially help Anne in the first agony of
2homesickness that seized upon her. She looked dismally about her narrow little room, with its dull-papered, pictureless
3walls, its small iron bedstead and empty bookcase; and a horrible choke came into her throat as she thought of her own
4white room at Green Gables, where she would have the pleasant consciousness of a great green still outdoors, of sweet
5peas growing in the garden, and moonlight falling on the orchard, of the brook below the slope and the spruce boughs
6tossing in the night wind beyond it, of a vast starry sky, and the light from Diana's window shining out through the gap
7in the trees. Here there was nothing of this; Anne knew that outside of her window was a hard street, with a network of
8telephone wires shutting out the sky, the tramp of alien feet, and a thousand lights gleaming on stranger faces. She
9knew that she was going to cry, and fought against it. "I won't cry. It's silly--and weak--there's the third tear
10splashing down by my nose. There are more coming! I must think of something funny to stop them. But there's nothing
11funny except what is connected with Avonlea, and that only makes things worse--four--five--I'm going home next Friday,
12but that seems a hundred years away. Oh, Matthew is nearly home by now--and Marilla is at the gate, looking down the
13lane for him--six--seven--eight--oh, there's no use in counting them! They're coming in a flood presently. I can't cheer
14up--I don't want to cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable!" The flood of tears would have come, no doubt, had not Josie
15Pye appeared at that moment. In the joy of seeing a familiar face Anne forgot that there had never been much love lost
16between her and Josie. As a part of Avonlea life even a Pye was welcome. "I'm so glad you came up," Anne said sincerely.
17"You've been crying," remarked Josie, with aggravating pity. "I suppose you're homesick--some people have so little
18self-control in that respect. I've no intention of being homesick, I can tell you. Town's too jolly after that poky old
19Avonlea. I wonder how I ever existed there so long. You shouldn't cry, Anne; it isn't becoming, for your nose and eyes
20get red, and then you seem all red. I'd a perfectly scrumptious time in the Academy today. Our French professor is
21simply a duck. His moustache would give you kerwollowps of the heart. Have you anything eatable around, Anne? I'm
22literally starving. Ah, I guessed likely Marilla 'd load you up with cake. That's why I called round. Otherwise I'd have
23gone to the park to hear the band play with Frank Stockley. He boards same place as I do, and he's a sport. He noticed
24you in class today, and asked me who the red-headed girl was. I told him you were an orphan that the Cuthberts had
25adopted, and nobody knew very much about what you'd been before that." Anne was wondering if, after all, solitude and
26tears were not more satisfactory than Josie Pye's companionship when Jane and Ruby appeared, each with an inch of
27Queen's color ribbon--purple and scarlet--pinned proudly to her coat. As Josie was not "speaking" to Jane just then she
28had to subside into comparative harmlessness. "Well," said Jane with a sigh, "I feel as if I'd lived many moons since
29the morning. I ought to be home studying my Virgil--that horrid old professor gave us twenty lines to start in on
30tomorrow. But I simply couldn't settle down to study tonight. Anne, methinks I see the traces of tears. If you've been
31crying do own up. It will restore my self-respect, for I was shedding tears freely before Ruby came along. I don't mind
32being a goose so much if somebody else is goosey, too. Cake? You'll give me a teeny piece, won't you? Thank you. It has
33the real Avonlea flavor." Ruby, perceiving the Queen's calendar lying on the table, wanted to know if Anne meant to try
34for the gold medal. Anne blushed and admitted she was thinking of it. "Oh, that reminds me," said Josie, "Queen's is to
35get one of the Avery scholarships after all. The word came today. Frank Stockley told me--his uncle is one of the board
36of governors, you know. It will be announced in the Academy tomorrow." An Avery scholarship! Anne felt her heart beat
37more quickly, and the horizons of her ambition shifted and broadened as if by magic. Before Josie had told the news
38Anne's highest pinnacle of aspiration had been a teacher's provincial license, First Class, at the end of the year, and
39perhaps the medal! But now in one moment Anne saw herself winning the Avery scholarship, taking an Arts course at
40Redmond College, and graduating in a gown and mortar board, before the echo of Josie's words had died away. For the
41Avery scholarship was in English, and Anne felt that here her foot was on native heath. A wealthy manufacturer of New
42Brunswick had died and left part of his fortune to endow a large number of scholarships to be distributed among the
43various high schools and academies of the Maritime Provinces, according to their respective standings. There had been
44much doubt whether one would be allotted to Queen's, but the matter was settled at last, and at the end of the year the
45graduate who made the highest mark in English and English Literature would win the scholarship--two hundred and fifty
46dollars a year for four years at Redmond College. No wonder that Anne went to bed that night with tingling cheeks! "I'll
47win that scholarship if hard work can do it," she resolved. "Wouldn't Matthew be proud if I got to be a B.A.? Oh, it's
48delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them--that's the
49best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life
50so interesting."
