little Anne of Green Gables chapter 15 a Queens girl

The next three weeks at Green Gables were busy as Anne got ready to go to Queens College

and Had many lovely clothes to take it was Matthew who bought Anne's clothes

and Marilla no longer objected and Anne put on her new green silk dress

and recited a poem for Matthew and Marilla in the kitchen.

Marilla watched Anne's bright animated face and graceful movements.

A tear came to Marilla's eye.

My poem made you cry, Marilla, Anne exclaimed.

No, I wasn't crying over that, Marilla sniffed.

I was thinking of the little girl you used to be, Anne.

I wish you had stayed a little girl.

You've grown up now, and you're going away to college.

You look so tall and stylish and so,

so different in that dress.

I just get lonely thinking about it.

Marilla.

Anne took Marilla's hands and looked tenderly into Marilla's eyes.

I haven't changed, not really.

The real me, back here, is just the same.

I will always be your little Anne,

who will love you and Matthew and dear Green Gables every day of her life.

Matthew listened, and with suspicious moisture in his eyes,

he got up and went outside.

Well now, I guess she hasn't been spoiled,

Matthew said to himself proudly.

I guess interfering sometimes never did any harm either.

She's smart, pretty, and loving too.

She's been a blessing to us.

It was a lucky mistake that Mrs. Spencer made,

but I don't believe it was luck.

No, I believe Anne was sent as a gift from heaven because we needed her.

The day came for Anne to go to college.

After many tearful goodbyes, Anne's life as a college student began.

On the first day at Queen's,

students met each other and their professors.

Afterwards, Anne left the college and went to her boarding house.

She looked dismally at her little room,

with its pictureless walls and empty bookcase.

A tear came into her eye as she thought of Green Gables.

Anne started to cry.

And a flood of tears would have come if Josie Pie had not appeared at Anne's door.

In the joy of seeing a familiar face,

Anne forgot that she and Josie were not good friends,

to say the least.

I'm glad you came, Anne said sincerely.

You've been crying, Josie remarked.

I suppose you're homesick.

Some people have no self-control.

You really shouldn't cry because your nose and eyes get red,

and then you seem red all over.

With that, Josie left.

Anne scowled and cried again.

Soon, Anne's homesickness subsided.

She threw herself into her studies and made new friends.

She decided to try for the academic awards,

the gold medal for the best student in general,

and a scholarship to Redmond University for the best student in English.

I'll win that scholarship if hard work can do it, she thought.

Wouldn't Matthew be proud if I got a BA?

After the Christmas holidays, the students settled down to hard work.

By this time, the medal contestants were narrowed down to three,

Gilbert Blythe, Anne Shirley, and Lewis Wilson.

The scholarship was more doubtful,

with any one of six students being a possible winner.

Anne's rivalry with Gilbert was as intense as ever,

but for some reason, the bitterness had gone out of it.

Spring came, but at Queen's there was talk only of exams.

Ruby, sometimes I feel like exams mean everything,

but when I look at the flowers blossoming,

the exams don't seem as important, said Anne.

Ruby Gillis did not share this view.

To her, exams were very important,

far more important than flowers.

Besides, Anne was sure to pass all her exams,

while Ruby was not so certain.

It was the morning the exam results were to be posted on the notice board at Queen's College.

Anne and Jane Andrews walked down the street together.

Jane was smiling and happy.

Exams were over, and she had passed at least.

Anne was pale and quiet.

In ten minutes, she would know who had won the medal and the scholarship.

I don't have the courage to march up to that notice board, Jane, Anne said.

You must read it and tell me,

and try to do it as quickly as possible.

If I failed, just tell me,

and whatever you do, don't try to sympathize with me.

Promise me, Jane.

Jane promised solemnly, but as it happened,

there was no need for such a promise.

Anne and Jane found a group of boys carrying Gilbert Blythe on their shoulders and yelling,

Hooray for Gilbert!

Medalist!

Anne felt a pang of defeat and disappointment.

So Gilbert had won.

Well, Matthew would be sorry.

He had been so sure she would win.

And then somebody called out,

Three cheers for Anne Shirley, winner of the scholarship!

100

Suddenly, many students were around them,

101

and Anne was the center of a laughing, congratulating group.

102

She was pushed and pulled and hugged,

103

but she managed to whisper to Jane,

104

Oh, won't Matthew and Marilla be pleased?

105

I must write home right away.

106

After the scholarship and medal ceremony,

107

Anne went home to Avonlea with Matthew and Marilla.

108

Diana was at Green Gables to greet her.

109

It's so good to be home again, cried Anne.

110

And it's good to see you.

111

I have so many things to tell you,

112

but now I'm tired, tired of being studious.

113

I'll spend two hours tomorrow lying on the grass, thinking of absolutely nothing.

114

You've done so well, Anne, said Diana.

115

I suppose you won't be teaching now that you've won the scholarship?

116

No, I won't, said Anne.

117

I'll go to the Redmond University in September.

118

Jane's going to teach in Newbridge said Diana

119

and Gilbert is going to teach too he must his father can't afford to send him to college next year

120

so he will work instead and save up the money for it

121

and felt a little dismayed she had expected Gilbert to go

122

to Redmond University as well what would she do without their rivalry to inspire her

123

and what would she do without her friends from Avonlea

124

Anne of Green Gables, Chapter 16,

125

A Bend in the Road The next morning,

126

Anne realized that Matthew was not looking well.

127

After he had left, Anne said, Marilla, is Matthew well?

128

No. said Marilla in a troubled tone.

129

His heart has been quite bad this spring, but he keeps working.

130

Maybe he'll rest now that you're home.

131

You always cheer him up.

132

Anne looked at Marilla.

133

You're not looking well yourself, Marilla.

134

You must rest now that I'm home.

135

Marilla smiled affectionately at her girl.

136

It's not the work.

137

It's my eyes.

138

I'm seeing an optometrist soon.

139

In the evening, Anne went to see Matthew in the fields.

140

Matthew walked slowly with his head down.

141

You've been working too hard, Matthew, she said reproachfully.

142

I forget I'm getting older, Matthew replied.

143

If I'd been the boy you'd sent for,

144

said Anne, I could help you.

145

Anne, I'd rather have you than a dozen boys.

146

It wasn't a boy who got that scholarship.

147

It was a girl, my girl, whom I'm proud of.

148

Later that night, Anne remembered Matthew's words.

149

It was the last night before sorrow touched Anne's life,

150

and no life is quite the same afterward.

151

Matthew, what is the matter?

152

It was Marilla who spoke, holding Matthew's head.

153

Anne burst through the door.

154

He's fainted, gasped Marilla.

155

Anne, run for Martin, quick!

156

Martin was the hired man,

157

and he drove to get the doctor,

158

stopping at the Linds' house to tell them the news.

159

Mrs. Lynde came as quickly as she could.

160

She pushed Anne and Marilla gently aside and then laid her ear on Matthew's heart.

161

She looked at their anxious faces sorrowfully.

162

Oh, Marilla, she said gravely.

163

I don't think we can do anything for him.

164

Anne spoke quietly.

165

Mrs. Lynde, you don't think Matthew is.. is...

166

Anne could not say the dreadful word.

167

She turned sick and pale.

168

The doctor said Matthew's death had been painless.

169

The news spread quickly through Avonlea,

170

and all day friends and neighbors came to pay their respects.

171

That night the house was quiet.

172

Matthew's death left a horrible ache.

173

When Anne sobbed, Marilla came to comfort her.

174

What will we do without him?

175

Anne cried.

176

We've got each other, Anne, Marilla said softly.

177

I don't know what I'd do if you were in here.

178

If you'd never come.

179

Slowly life went on, and work was done as before.

180

Anne, new to grief, thought this was sad,

181

that they could go on in the old way without Matthew.

182

She felt almost ashamed that she could feel happy again.

183

She missed him so much,

184

and yet the world still seemed beautiful.

185

But Mrs. Lynde assured her,

186

Matthew would want you to be happy, Anne.

187

He liked to hear you laugh.

188

I saw Gilbert Blythe today, Marilla said one afternoon.

189

What a nice-looking fellow he is, she went on.

190

He's so tall and manly.

191

He looks a lot like his father did at the same age.

192

We used to be very good friends.

193

People called him my boyfriend.

194

Anne looked up with interest.

195

Oh, Marilla, what happened?

196

We had a fight, Marilla said.

197

I wouldn't forgive him right away.

198

I wanted to punish him first.

199

He never came back.

200

The Blythes were very independent.

201

But I've always wished I'd forgiven him when I had the chance.

202

so you've had a bit of romance in your life too said

203

and softly yes I guess you wouldn't know from looking at me

204

but you can never tell people from their outsides the next day

205

and came home to find Marilla looking dejected are you tired

206

Marilla yes no I don't know said Marilla wearily it's not

207

that did you see the optometrist asked Anne anxiously yes I saw him said Marilla he said

208

if I wear glasses and stop reading and sewing my eyes will be alright

209

but if I don't I'll be blind in six months blind

210

and just think of it things have changed

211

so much since I came home

212

and thought sadly yes I saw him said Marilla he said

213

if I wear glasses and stop reading and sewing my eyes will be alright

214

but if I don't I'll be blind in six months.

215

Blind.

216

Anne, just think of it.

217

Things have changed so much since I came home, Anne thought sadly.

218

One afternoon, a few days later,

219

Marilla came in from the yard.

220

She had been talking to a man named Mr. Sadler.

221

There were tears in Marilla's eyes,

222

and her voice broke as she told Anne,

223

He heard I was going to sell Green Gables,

224

and he wants to buy it.

225

Buy Green Gables?

226

Anne burst out.

227

Marilla, are you selling Green Gables?

228

If my eyes were strong, I could stay here.

229

But I may lose my sight,

230

and I can't stay here alone.

231

Mrs. Lynde advised me to sell and stay with her.

232

I'm sorry you won't have a home to come to on vacation.

233

Marilla broke down and wept bitterly.

234

You mustn't sell Green Gables, said Anne firmly.

235

And you won't stay here alone, Marilla.

236

I'll be with you.

237

Marilla looked at Anne.

238

What do you mean?

239

I'm not taking the scholarship.

240

I couldn't leave you after all you've done for me.

241

The Avonlea School is promised to Gilbert Blythe,

242

but I can teach in Carmody.

243

I won't leave you, Marilla.

244

Marilla was stunned.

245

But I can't let you sacrifice your education for me.

246

Nonsense.

247

There is no sacrifice.

248

Anne laughed.

249

Nothing could be worse than giving up Green Gables.

250

I'll be a good teacher and save your eyesight.

251

Besides, I'll study college courses at home.

252

I feel as if you've given me a new life, Marilla said, beaming.

253

In Avonlea, people heard that Anne had given up the idea of going to university,

254

and not knowing about Marilla's eyes thought she was foolish.

255

But Mrs. Lynde told Anne,

256

I'm glad to hear you're not going, Anne.

257

I don't believe in women going to university.

258

But I'll teach at Carmody and study Latin and Greek at home,

259

Mrs. Lynde, said Anne laughing.

260

The school board gave you Avonlea school, Mrs. Lynde said.

261

Anne jumped to her feet.

262

I thought they promised it to Gilbert Blythe.

263

They did.

264

But when Gilbert heard you applied,

265

he withdrew his application and suggested you for the job.

266

He is going to teach at White Sands.

267

Wasn't that kind and thoughtful of him?

268

Gilbert did that for me?

269

Anne murmured.

270

At dusk, Anne went to the Little Avonlea graveyard and put fresh flowers on Matthew's grave.

271

She lingered there, liking the peace of the place.

272

A tall man came toward her, whistling.

273

Gilbert!

274

Anne said, her cheeks flushed.

275

Thank you for giving up the school for me.

276

Gilbert took her hand eagerly.

277

That's all right, Anne.

278

Are we going to be friends after this?

279

Have you really forgiven me?

280

Anne laughed.

281

I forgave you the day you rescued me from the brook,

282

although I didn't know it.

283

When Anne came home later,

284

Marilla asked curiously, Who was with you, Anne?

285

Gilbert Blythe, answered Anne blushing.

286

He walked with me.

287

I didn't think you two were such good friends.

288

Marilla smiled.

289

We've been good enemies, said Anne.

290

But it's more sensible to be friends.

291

Anne sat at her window that night content.

292

Green Gables was her home,

293

and the dreams of a little red-headed orphan girl had come true.
