I
think
I
shall
.
.
.
and
use
it
for
my
naps
.
I
d
be
certain
to
dream
I
was
a
dryad
or
a
woodnymph
then
.
But
just
this
minute
I
m
well
content
to
be
Anne
Shirley
,
Avonlea
schoolma
am
,
driving
over
a
road
like
this
on
such
a
sweet
,
friendly
day
.
272
It
s
a
lovely
day
but
we
have
anything
but
a
lovely
task
before
us
,
sighed
Diana
.
Why
on
earth
did
you
offer
to
canvass
this
road
,
Anne
?
Almost
all
the
cranks
in
Avonlea
live
along
it
,
and
we
ll
probably
be
treated
as
if
we
were
begging
for
ourselves
.
It
s
the
very
worst
road
of
all
.
273
That
is
why
I
chose
it
.
Of
course
Gilbert
and
Fred
would
have
taken
this
road
if
we
had
asked
them
.
But
you
see
,
Diana
,
I
feel
myself
responsible
for
the
A
.
V
.
I
.
S
.
,
since
I
was
the
first
to
suggest
it
,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
I
ought
to
do
the
most
disagreeable
things
.
I
m
sorry
on
your
account
;
but
you
needn
t
say
a
word
at
the
cranky
places
.
I
ll
do
all
the
talking
.
.
.
Mrs
.
Lynde
would
say
I
was
well
able
to
.
Mrs
.
Lynde
doesn
t
know
whether
to
approve
of
our
enterprise
or
not
.
She
inclines
to
,
when
she
remembers
that
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Allan
are
in
favor
of
it
;
but
the
fact
that
village
improvement
societies
first
originated
in
the
States
is
a
count
against
it
.
So
she
is
halting
between
two
opinions
and
only
success
will
justify
us
in
Mrs
.
Lynde
s
eyes
.

Priscilla
is
going
to
write
a
paper
for
our
next
Improvement
meeting
,
and
I
expect
it
will
be
good
,
for
her
aunt
is
such
a
clever
writer
and
no
doubt
it
runs
in
the
family
.
I
shall
never
forget
the
thrill
it
gave
me
when
I
found
out
that
Mrs
.
Charlotte
E
.
Morgan
was
Priscilla
s
aunt
.
It
seemed
so
wonderful
that
I
was
a
friend
of
the
girl
whose
aunt
wrote
Edgewood
Days
and
The
Rosebud
Garden
.
275
Where
does
Mrs
.
Morgan
live
?
276
In
Toronto
.
And
Priscilla
says
she
is
coming
to
the
Island
for
a
visit
next
summer
,
and
if
it
is
possible
Priscilla
is
going
to
arrange
to
have
us
meet
her
.
That
seems
almost
too
good
to
be
true
but
it
s
something
pleasant
to
imagine
after
you
go
to
bed
.
277
The
Avonlea
Village
Improvement
Society
was
an
organized
fact
.
Gilbert
Blythe
was
president
,
Fred
Wright
vice
-
president
,
Anne
Shirley
secretary
,
and
Diana
Barry
treasurer
.
The
Improvers
,
as
they
were
promptly
christened
,
were
to
meet
once
a
fortnight
at
the
homes
of
the
members
.
It
was
admitted
that
they
could
not
expect
to
affect
many
improvements
so
late
in
the
season
;
but
they
meant
to
plan
the
next
summer
s
campaign
,
collect
and
discuss
ideas
,
write
and
read
papers
,
and
,
as
Anne
said
,
educate
the
public
sentiment
generally
.

There
was
some
disapproval
,
of
course
,
and
.
.
.
which
the
Improvers
felt
much
more
keenly
.
.
.
a
good
deal
of
ridicule
.
Mr
.
Elisha
Wright
was
reported
to
have
said
that
a
more
appropriate
name
for
the
organization
would
be
Courting
Club
.
Mrs
.
Hiram
Sloane
declared
she
had
heard
the
Improvers
meant
to
plough
up
all
the
roadsides
and
set
them
out
with
geraniums
.
Mr
.
279
Levi
Boulter
warned
his
neighbors
that
the
Improvers
would
insist
that
everybody
pull
down
his
house
and
rebuild
it
after
plans
approved
by
the
society
.
Mr
.
James
Spencer
sent
them
word
that
he
wished
they
would
kindly
shovel
down
the
church
hill
.
Eben
Wright
told
Anne
that
he
wished
the
Improvers
could
induce
old
Josiah
Sloane
to
keep
his
whiskers
trimmed
.
Mr
.
Lawrence
Bell
said
he
would
whitewash
his
barns
if
nothing
else
would
please
them
but
he
would
NOT
hang
lace
curtains
in
the
cowstable
windows
.
Mr
.
Major
Spencer
asked
Clifton
Sloane
,
an
Improver
who
drove
the
milk
to
the
Carmody
cheese
factory
,
if
it
was
true
that
everybody
would
have
to
have
his
milk
-
stand
hand
-
painted
next
summer
and
keep
an
embroidered
centerpiece
on
it
.
280
In
spite
of
.
.
.
or
perhaps
,
human
nature
being
what
it
is
,
because
of
.
.
.
this
,
the
Society
went
gamely
to
work
at
the
only
improvement
they
could
hope
to
bring
about
that
fall
.
At
the
second
meeting
,
in
the
Barry
parlor
,
Oliver
Sloane
moved
that
they
start
a
subscription
to
re
-
shingle
and
paint
the
hall
;
Julia
Bell
seconded
it
,
with
an
uneasy
feeling
that
she
was
doing
something
not
exactly
ladylike
.
Gilbert
put
the
motion
,
it
was
carried
unanimously
,
and
Anne
gravely
recorded
it
in
her
minutes
.
The
next
thing
was
to
appoint
a
committee
,
and
Gertie
Pye
,
determined
not
to
let
Julia
Bell
carry
off
all
the
laurels
,
boldly
moved
that
Miss
Jane
Andrews
be
chairman
of
said
committee
.
This
motion
being
also
duly
seconded
and
carried
,
Jane
returned
the
compliment
by
appointing
Gertie
on
the
committee
,
along
with
Gilbert
,
Anne
,
Diana
,
and
Fred
Wright
.
