Little Fox Anne of Green Gables Chapter 11 A Dare is Accepted

In the summer, Diana Berry had a party.

There will just be the girls in our class,

Anne assured Marilla, since Marilla knew that Anne had a habit of getting into trouble.

The girls played in the berries' garden.

After a while, they grew tired of all their games and were ready for mischief.

They soon decided to play dares,

which involved daring one's friends to try something risky.

First, Carrie Sloan dared Ruby Gillis to climb the huge willow tree that was infested with fat green caterpillars.

Much to everyone's surprise, Ruby bravely climbed the tree.

Then Josie Pie dared Jane Andrews to hop around the garden on her left foot without stopping.

Jane Andrews tried, but gave up at the third corner.

Josie Pie gloated because Jane Andrews could not do her dare.

Anne saw Josie Pie gloating and quickly dared Josie to walk along the top of the Berry's garden fence.

Walking along fences requires some skill,

but unfortunately, Josie Pie had a natural ability for walking on fences.

The girls reluctantly admired Josie's skill and bravery.

Josie came down flushed with victory and gave Anne a defiant look.

Anne tossed her red braids.

I don't think it's anything fantastic to walk on such a little low fence, she said.

I knew a girl who could walk on a rooftop.

I don't believe it, said Josie flatly.

You couldn't walk on a rooftop anyhow, she added.

Couldn't I, said Anne without thinking.

Then I dare you, said Josie sneering.

I dare you to climb up there and walk along the top of the Berry's Kitchen roof.

Anne turned pale, but she walked towards the house.

There was a ladder leaning against the wall.

Don't do it, Anne, pleaded Diana.

You'll fall off and be killed.

Never mind Josie Pie.

It isn't fair to dare anybody to do anything so dangerous.

I must do it.

My honor is at stake, said Anne solemnly.

If I am killed, you can have my pearl bead ring.

Anne climbed the ladder, balanced herself on the rooftop,

and started to walk along it.

She was very high.

Anne realized that imagination did not help much when you were walking on a roof.

Nevertheless, she managed to take several steps before the catastrophe came.

She swayed and then fell,

sliding off the roof and landing headfirst in a garden of vines.

The girls below screamed.

When Diana and the other girls,

except for Ruby Gillis who had gone into hysterics,

rushed around the house, They found Anne lying in the tangled vines.

She was very pale and limp.

Anne, are you dead?

shrieked Diana, throwing herself on her knees beside Anne.

Anne sat up, dizzy.

No, Diana, she said uncertainly.

I am not dead, but I think I am unconscious.

The girls were immensely relieved by Anne's words, especially Josie Pie.

When Mrs. Berry appeared, Anne tried to get to her feet,

but she fell back with a sharp little cry of pain.

What's the matter?

Where have you hurt yourself? demanded Mrs. Berry.

My ankle! gasped Anne.

Marilla was in the orchard when she saw Mr. and Mrs. Berry and a procession of girls coming toward the house.

Mr. Berry carried Anne in his arms,

with her head limp against his shoulder.

At that moment, Marilla had a revelation.

Before, she had admitted that she liked Anne.

No, that she was very fond of Anne.

But now she knew that Anne was dearer to her than anything on Earth.

Mrs. Barry, what happened?

Marilla gasped.

Mrs. Barry had never seen Marilla look so pale and anxious.

Anne herself answered, lifting her head.

Don't be frightened, Marilla.

I was walking on the Barry's roof and I fell off.

I think I sprained my ankle.

However, I could have broken my neck, but I didn't.

Let's look on the bright side.

Marilla felt the blood return to her face.

Mr. Barry carried Anne into the house.

Later, the doctor came and announced that Anne had broken her ankle.

Don't you feel sorry for me, Marilla?

Anne asked.

It was your own fault, answered Marilla.

That's exactly why you should feel sorry for me.

If I could blame somebody,

I would feel so much better, Anne said.

What would you do, Marilla,

if someone dared you to walk on the roof?

I would stay on the ground and let them dare, Marilla shot back.

You're strong, Marilla, but I couldn't bear Josie Pie's scorn, Anne said.

And I think I've been punished enough so you don't have to punish me.

It hurt dreadfully when the doctor set my ankle in plaster.

I'll miss six weeks of school,

and I'll miss the new lady teacher.

She won't be new by the time I'm at school.

And Gilbert, I mean everybody,

will get ahead of me in class.

Over the next six weeks, Anne had many visitors.

not a day passed without one

or more of the schoolgirls dropping in to bring her flowers

and books and tell her the news of Avonlea Diana

and most faithful friend visited every day after school even Josie Pye visited once

100

and happily realized that she had many kind friends

101

and neighbors one day after the visitors had left

102

and chatted to Marilla about the news from school the The new teacher had arrived,

103

and all the girls thought she was perfectly sweet.

104

She dressed beautifully, and her sleeve puffs were bigger than anybody else's in Avonlea.

105

On Friday mornings, Marilla, Anne said,

106

everybody has to recite a poem or a story.

107

How exciting!

108

On Friday afternoons, Miss Stacy,

109

the new teacher, takes everyone to the woods for a field day,

110

and they study ferns and flowers and birds,

111

and they have physical education exercises every morning and afternoon.

112

Mrs. Lynn says it's ridiculous,

113

but I think it's splendid.

114

I believe Miss Stacy will be a kindred spirit.

115

There's one thing that's quite clear, Anne, said Marilla.

116

Falling off the Barry's roof hasn't injured your tongue.

117

Anne of Green Gables Chapter 12 Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves

118

Matthew was sitting in the kitchen when Anne and her schoolmates burst into the room.

119

They were laughing happily and did not see Matthew.

120

he watched them shyly

121

and became aware there was something different about ann compared to

122

the other girls what was it he could not ask marilla she would say the only difference between ann

123

and the other girls was that they were sometimes quiet

124

while ann never was finally matthew knew the answer ann was

125

not dressed like the other girls the more he thought the more he was convinced

126

that ann had never been dressed like the other girls marilla

127

gave her plain dark dresses all in the same unvarying style all the other girls wore red

128

and blue and pink and yellow and

129

and sleeves did not look at all like the other girls

130

sleeves it must be all right he thought marilla knew best

131

and marilla was bringing her up but surely it would do no harm to let the child have one pretty dress

132

something like what Diana Barry wore Matthew decided

133

that he would get one for Anne Christmas was only two weeks away

134

and a nice new dress would be the perfect present the

135

next evening Matthew went to Carmody to buy the dress Matthew

136

decided to go to Samuel Lawson store instead of William Blair's

137

store the Cuthberts had always gone to William Blair's store

138

but William Blair's two daughters served customers there

139

and Matthew felt very shy around them he would go to

140

Lawson's where Samuel would serve him alas Matthew did not know that Samuel had a new female shop assistant

141

Miss Harris the new shop assistant at Lawson's store was dressed very smartly

142

and wore bracelets that glittered and tinkled Matthew was confused to see her

143

and all those bracelets made him even more nervous how can

144

I help you mr. Cuthbert she asked have you any garden

145

rakes stammered Matthew miss Harris looked surprised it was the middle of winter

146

and there were no leaves to be raked I think we have one

147

or two rakes left she said

148

but they're upstairs I'll check miss Harris returned with a rake

149

and asked anything else mr. Cuthbert Matthew tried again well since

150

you're asking I might buy some pumpkin seeds miss Harris had heard

151

that Matthew Cuthbert was odd she now concluded

152

that he was crazy we only keep seeds in spring she

153

explained now yes stammered the unhappy Matthew he paid for the rake While Miss Harris was counting his change,

154

he made one last desperate attempt.

155

Well, now, if it isn't too much trouble, I might get some...

156

I'd like to look at some sugar.

157

White or brown?

158

Miss Harris asked.

159

Oh, brown, said Matthew, with beads of perspiration on his forehead.

160

When Matthew got home, he hid the rake in the tool shed,

161

but he carried the sugar into Marilla.

162

brown sugar why did you get

163

that Marilla asked you know I never use it except for the porridge

164

or fruitcake it's not good sugar either William Blair doesn't usually keep sugar like

165

that I I thought it might come in handy sometime said Matthew Matthew finally decided

166

that a woman's help was needed Marilla was out of the question

167

because she would surely object to the idea of a pretty

168

dress for Anne this left mrs. Lind mrs. Lind said you

169

want me to pick out a dress for Anne of course

170

I will I'm going to Carmody tomorrow do you have anything

171

in mind no well I'll use my own judgment then thank you Rachel mumbled Matthew he continued I'm not sure

172

but I'd like the sleeves to be in the new fashion puffs of course I'll choose the very latest fashion

173

when Matthew had gone mrs. Lynn said to herself thank goodness

174

that poor girl will get to wear something decent the way Marilla dresses her is ridiculous

175

but Matthew noticed it that man is waking up after being asleep for 60 years Marilla knew

176

that something was up

177

but she didn't guess what it was until mrs. Lind brought the dress over on Christmas Eve

178

so this is why Matthew looks so mysterious Marilla shook her head

179

and has three good warm dresses

180

and anything more is just extravagant there's enough material in those

181

sleeves for another dress the puffs have been getting bigger and bigger there is biggest balloons now

182

Christmas morning came just enough snow fell to cover everything in white

183

and ran downstairs singing Merry Christmas Marilla Merry Christmas Matthew I'm

184

so glad it's a white Christmas any other kind of Christmas doesn't seem real does it Oh Matthew is

185

that for me Oh Matthew Matthew had sheepishly unfolded the dress

186

and held it out and looked at the dress in reverent silence how pretty it was,

187

with dainty frills and soft lace at the neck.

188

But the sleeves, they were magnificent.

189

It's a Christmas present for you, Anne, said Matthew shyly.

190

Why, why, Anne, don't you like it?

191

For Anne's eyes had suddenly filled with tears.

192

Like it?

193

Oh, Matthew, it's exquisite.

194

Look at those sleeves.

195

I can never thank you enough.

196

Well, let's have breakfast, interrupted Marilla.

197

I must say, Anne, I don't think you needed the dress.

198

Since Matthew has gotten it for you,

199

make sure you take care of it.

200

After breakfast, Diana came to the house.

201

I've got something for you, said Diana.

202

Here, in this box.

203

Aunt Josephine sent us a big box with many things,

204

and this is for you.

205

Anne opened the box and peeked in.

206

There was a card with,

207

To Dear Anne, Merry Christmas,

208

written on it, and a dainty pair of shoes.

209

You won't have to borrow ruby shoes now.

210

And that's good because they're two sizes too big for you, said Diana.

211

Oh, Diana, Anne exclaimed exclaimed.

212

This is too much!

213

A white Christmas at Green Gables and new shoes and a new dress with puffed sleeves.

214

What a happy day this is!
