“Don't you ever imagine things differently than what they are? Oh, Marilla, how much you miss.”

“I am well in body although considerably rumpled up in spirit, thank you, ma'am,' said Anne gravely. Then aside to Marilla in an audible whisper, 'There wasn't anything startling in that, was there, Marilla?”

“Oh Marilla, looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them," exclaimed Anne.”

“Don't be very frightened, Marilla. I was walking the ridge-pole and I fell off. I suspect I have sprained my ankle. But, Marilla, I might have broken my neck. Let us look on the bright side of things.”

“Marilla, what if I fail!''You'll hardly fail completely in one day and there's plenty more days coming,' said Marilla.”
