“

I

did

feel

a

little

that

way

,

too

,

”

said

Anne

.

“

I

kind

of

felt

I

shouldn

’

t

shorten

their

lovely

lives

by

picking

them

—

I

wouldn

’

t

want

to

be

picked

if

I

were

an

apple

blossom

.

But

the

temptation

was

irresistible

.

What

do

you

do

when

you

meet

with

an

irresistible

temptation

?

”

“

Anne

,

did

you

hear

me

tell

you

to

go

to

your

room

?

”

Anne

sighed

,

retreated

to

the

east

gable

,

and

sat

down

in

a

chair

by

the

window

.

There

—

I

know

this

prayer

.

I

learned

that

last

sentence

coming

upstairs

.

Now

I

’

m

going

to

imagine

things

into

this

room

so

that

they

’

ll

always

stay

imagined

.

The

floor

is

covered

with

a

white

velvet

carpet

with

pink

roses

all

over

it

and

there

are

pink

silk

curtains

at

the

windows

.

The

walls

are

hung

with

gold

and

silver

brocade

tapestry

.

The

furniture

is

mahogany

.

I

never

saw

any

mahogany

,

but

it

does

sound

so

luxurious

.

This

is

a

couch

all

heaped

with

gorgeous

silken

cushions

,

pink

and

blue

and

crimson

and

gold

,

and

I

am

reclining

gracefully

on

it

.

I

can

see

my

reflection

in

that

splendid

big

mirror

hanging

on

the

wall

.

I

am

tall

and

regal

,

clad

in

a

gown

of

trailing

white

lace

,

with

a

pearl

cross

on

my

breast

and

pearls

in

my

hair

.

My

hair

is

of

midnight

darkness

and

my

skin

is

a

clear

ivory

pallor

.

My

name

is

the

Lady

Cordelia

Fitzgerald

.

No

,

it

isn

’

t

—

I

can

’

t

make

that

seem

real

.

”

She

danced

up

to

the

little

looking

-

glass

and

peered

into

it

.

Her

pointed

freckled

face

and

solemn

gray

eyes

peered

back

at

her

.

“

You

’

re

only

Anne

of

Green

Gables

,

”

she

said

earnestly

,

“

and

I

see

you

,

just

as

you

are

looking

now

,

whenever

I

try

to

imagine

I

’

m

the

Lady

Cordelia

.

But

it

’

s

a

million

times

nicer

to

be

Anne

of

Green

Gables

than

Anne

of

nowhere

in

particular

,

isn

’

t

it

?

She

bent

forward

,

kissed

her

reflection

affectionately

,

and

betook

herself

to

the

open

window

.

“

Dear

Snow

Queen

,

good

afternoon

.

And

good

afternoon

dear

birches

down

in

the

hollow

.

And

good

afternoon

,

dear

gray

house

up

on

the

hill

.

I

wonder

if

Diana

is

to

be

my

bosom

friend

.

I

hope

she

will

,

and

I

shall

love

her

very

much

.

But

I

must

never

quite

forget

Katie

Maurice

and

Violetta

They

would

feel

so

hurt

if

I

did

and

I

’

d

hate

to

hurt

anybody

’

s

feelings

,

even

a

little

bookcase

girl

’

s

or

a

little

echo

girl

’

s

.

I

must

be

careful

to

remember

them

and

send

them

a

kiss

every

day

.
