little Anne of Green Gables chapter 15 a Queens girl
2
The next three weeks at Green Gables were busy as Anne got ready to go to Queens College
3
and Had many lovely clothes to take it was Matthew who bought Anne's clothes
4
and Marilla no longer objected and Anne put on her new green silk dress
5
and recited a poem for Matthew and Marilla in the kitchen.
6
Marilla watched Anne's bright animated face and graceful movements.
7
A tear came to Marilla's eye.
8
My poem made you cry, Marilla, Anne exclaimed.
9
No, I wasn't crying over that, Marilla sniffed.
10
I was thinking of the little girl you used to be, Anne.
11
I wish you had stayed a little girl.
12
You've grown up now, and you're going away to college.
13
You look so tall and stylish and so,
14
so different in that dress.
15
I just get lonely thinking about it.
16
Marilla.
17
Anne took Marilla's hands and looked tenderly into Marilla's eyes.
18
I haven't changed, not really.
19
The real me, back here, is just the same.
20
I will always be your little Anne,
21
who will love you and Matthew and dear Green Gables every day of her life.
22
Matthew listened, and with suspicious moisture in his eyes,
23
he got up and went outside.
24
Well now, I guess she hasn't been spoiled,
25
Matthew said to himself proudly.
26
I guess interfering sometimes never did any harm either.
27
She's smart, pretty, and loving too.
28
She's been a blessing to us.
29
It was a lucky mistake that Mrs. Spencer made,
30
but I don't believe it was luck.
31
No, I believe Anne was sent as a gift from heaven because we needed her.
32
The day came for Anne to go to college.
33
After many tearful goodbyes, Anne's life as a college student began.
34
On the first day at Queen's,
35
students met each other and their professors.
36
Afterwards, Anne left the college and went to her boarding house.
37
She looked dismally at her little room,
38
with its pictureless walls and empty bookcase.
39
A tear came into her eye as she thought of Green Gables.
40
Anne started to cry.
41
And a flood of tears would have come if Josie Pie had not appeared at Anne's door.
42
In the joy of seeing a familiar face,
43
Anne forgot that she and Josie were not good friends,
44
to say the least.
45
I'm glad you came, Anne said sincerely.
46
You've been crying, Josie remarked.
47
I suppose you're homesick.
48
Some people have no self-control.
49
You really shouldn't cry because your nose and eyes get red,
50
and then you seem red all over.
51
With that, Josie left.
52
Anne scowled and cried again.
53
Soon, Anne's homesickness subsided.
54
She threw herself into her studies and made new friends.
55
She decided to try for the academic awards,
56
the gold medal for the best student in general,
57
and a scholarship to Redmond University for the best student in English.
58
I'll win that scholarship if hard work can do it, she thought.
59
Wouldn't Matthew be proud if I got a BA?
60
After the Christmas holidays, the students settled down to hard work.
61
By this time, the medal contestants were narrowed down to three,
62
Gilbert Blythe, Anne Shirley, and Lewis Wilson.
63
The scholarship was more doubtful,
64
with any one of six students being a possible winner.
65
Anne's rivalry with Gilbert was as intense as ever,
66
but for some reason, the bitterness had gone out of it.
67
Spring came, but at Queen's there was talk only of exams.
68
Ruby, sometimes I feel like exams mean everything,
69
but when I look at the flowers blossoming,
70
the exams don't seem as important, said Anne.
71
Ruby Gillis did not share this view.
72
To her, exams were very important,
73
far more important than flowers.
74
Besides, Anne was sure to pass all her exams,
75
while Ruby was not so certain.
76
It was the morning the exam results were to be posted on the notice board at Queen's College.
77
Anne and Jane Andrews walked down the street together.
78
Jane was smiling and happy.
79
Exams were over, and she had passed at least.
80
Anne was pale and quiet.
81
In ten minutes, she would know who had won the medal and the scholarship.
82
I don't have the courage to march up to that notice board, Jane, Anne said.
83
You must read it and tell me,
84
and try to do it as quickly as possible.
85
If I failed, just tell me,
86
and whatever you do, don't try to sympathize with me.
87
Promise me, Jane.
88
Jane promised solemnly, but as it happened,
89
there was no need for such a promise.
90
Anne and Jane found a group of boys carrying Gilbert Blythe on their shoulders and yelling,
91
Hooray for Gilbert!
92
Medalist!
93
Medalist!
94
Anne felt a pang of defeat and disappointment.
95
So Gilbert had won.
96
Well, Matthew would be sorry.
97
He had been so sure she would win.
98
And then somebody called out,
99
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.
