I
d
rather
not
pass
at
all
than
not
come
out
pretty
well
up
on
the
list
,
flashed
Anne
,
by
which
she
meant
and
Diana
knew
she
meant
that
success
would
be
incomplete
and
bitter
if
she
did
not
come
out
ahead
of
Gilbert
Blythe
.
With
this
end
in
view
Anne
had
strained
every
nerve
during
the
examinations
.
So
had
Gilbert
.
They
had
met
and
passed
each
other
on
the
street
a
dozen
times
without
any
sign
of
recognition
and
every
time
Anne
had
held
her
head
a
little
higher
and
wished
a
little
more
earnestly
that
she
had
made
friends
with
Gilbert
when
he
asked
her
,
and
vowed
a
little
more
determinedly
to
surpass
him
in
the
examination
.
She
knew
that
all
Avonlea
junior
was
wondering
which
would
come
out
first
;
she
even
knew
that
Jimmy
Glover
and
Ned
Wright
had
a
bet
on
the
question
and
that
Josie
Pye
had
said
there
was
no
doubt
in
the
world
that
Gilbert
would
be
first
;
and
she
felt
that
her
humiliation
would
be
unbearable
if
she
failed
.

But
she
had
another
and
nobler
motive
for
wishing
to
do
well
.
She
wanted
to
pass
high
for
the
sake
of
Matthew
and
Marilla
especially
Matthew
.
Matthew
had
declared
to
her
his
conviction
that
she
would
beat
the
whole
Island
.
That
,
Anne
felt
,
was
something
it
would
be
foolish
to
hope
for
even
in
the
wildest
dreams
.
But
she
did
hope
fervently
that
she
would
be
among
the
first
ten
at
least
,
so
that
she
might
see
Matthew
s
kindly
brown
eyes
gleam
with
pride
in
her
achievement
.
That
,
she
felt
,
would
be
a
sweet
reward
indeed
for
all
her
hard
work
and
patient
grubbing
among
unimaginative
equations
and
conjugations
.
At
the
end
of
the
fortnight
Anne
took
to
haunting
the
post
office
also
,
in
the
distracted
company
of
Jane
,
Ruby
,
and
Josie
,
opening
the
Charlottetown
dailies
with
shaking
hands
and
cold
,
sinkaway
feelings
as
bad
as
any
experienced
during
the
Entrance
week
.
Charlie
and
Gilbert
were
not
above
doing
this
too
,
but
Moody
Spurgeon
stayed
resolutely
away
.
I
haven
t
got
the
grit
to
go
there
and
look
at
a
paper
in
cold
blood
,
he
told
Anne
.
I
m
just
going
to
wait
until
somebody
comes
and
tells
me
suddenly
whether
I
ve
passed
or
not
.
When
three
weeks
had
gone
by
without
the
pass
list
appearing
Anne
began
to
feel
that
she
really
couldn
t
stand
the
strain
much
longer
.
Her
appetite
failed
and
her
interest
in
Avonlea
doings
languished
.
Mrs
.
Lynde
wanted
to
know
what
else
you
could
expect
with
a
Tory
superintendent
of
education
at
the
head
of
affairs
,
and
Matthew
,
noting
Anne
s
paleness
and
indifference
and
the
lagging
steps
that
bore
her
home
from
the
post
office
every
afternoon
,
began
seriously
to
wonder
if
he
hadn
t
better
vote
Grit
at
the
next
election
.

But
one
evening
the
news
came
.
Anne
was
sitting
at
her
open
window
,
for
the
time
forgetful
of
the
woes
of
examinations
and
the
cares
of
the
world
,
as
she
drank
in
the
beauty
of
the
summer
dusk
,
sweet
-
scented
with
flower
breaths
from
the
garden
below
and
sibilant
and
rustling
from
the
stir
of
poplars
.
The
eastern
sky
above
the
firs
was
flushed
faintly
pink
from
the
reflection
of
the
west
,
and
Anne
was
wondering
dreamily
if
the
spirit
of
color
looked
like
that
,
when
she
saw
Diana
come
flying
down
through
the
firs
,
over
the
log
bridge
,
and
up
the
slope
,
with
a
fluttering
newspaper
in
her
hand
.
Anne
sprang
to
her
feet
,
knowing
at
once
what
that
paper
contained
.
The
pass
list
was
out
!
Her
head
whirled
and
her
heart
beat
until
it
hurt
her
.
She
could
not
move
a
step
.
It
seemed
an
hour
to
her
before
Diana
came
rushing
along
the
hall
and
burst
into
the
room
without
even
knocking
,
so
great
was
her
excitement
.
