Anne wait, wait a minute. I was just down at the post office to see if the Queens results had been printed.    Congratulations on coming first, Gilbert. I’m sure you’re very proud of you achievements.

The long platform was almost deserted; the only living creature in sight being a girl who was sitting on a pile of shingles at the exteme end. Matthew, barely noting it WAS a girl, sidled past her as quickly as possible without looking at her. Had he looked he could hardly have failed to notice the tense rigidity and expectation of her attitude and expression.

ANNE AND GILBERT or james and lily

Anne, you should have let him help you. You’re in no condition to walk home.

Anne, you should have let him help you. You’re in no condition to walk home.

Halfway down the hill a tall lad came whistling out of a gate before the Blythe homestead. It was Gilbert, and the whistle died on his lips as he recognized Anne. He lifted his cap courteously, but he would have passed on in silence, if Anne had not stopped and held out her hand.

“Gilbert,” she said, with scarlet cheeks, “I want to thank you for giving up the school for me. It was very good of you - and I want you to know that I appreciate it.”

Gilbert took her offered hand eagerly.

“It wasn’t particularly good of me at all, Anne. I was pleased to be able to do you some small service. Are we going to be friends after this? Have you really forgiven me my old fault?”

Anne laughed and tried unsuccessfully to withdraw her hand.

“I forgave you that day by the pond landing, although I didn’t know it. What a stubborn little goose I was. I’ve been - I may as well make a complete confession - I’ve been sorry ever since.”

“We are going to be best of friends, Anne. You’ve thwarted destiny enough. I know we can help each other in many ways. You are going to keep up your studies, aren’t you? So am I. Come, I’m going to walk home with you.”

Woah.  Hello, Anne.

Taking a short-cut, Mr. Blythe?

I suppose some people consider it an accomplishment to walk a little picket fence, Diana. I knew a girl in Marysville who could walk the ridgepole of a roof!

I don’t believe it! You sure couldn’t, little Miss Bookworm!

Oh, couldn’t I?
