Diana
was
to
be
married
in
five
more
days
.
The
gray
house
at
Orchard
Slope
was
in
a
turmoil
of
baking
and
brewing
and
boiling
and
stewing
,
for
there
was
to
be
a
big
,
old-timey
wedding
.
Anne
,
of
course
,
was
to
be
bridesmaid
,
as
had
been
arranged
when
they
were
twelve
years
old
,
and
Gilbert
was
coming
from
Kingsport
to
be
best
man
.
Anne
was
enjoying
the
excitement
of
the
various
preparations
,
but
under
it
all
she
carried
a
little
heartache
.
She
was
,
in
a
sense
,
losing
her
dear
old
chum
;
Diana
's
new
home
would
be
two
miles
from
Green
Gables
,
and
the
old
constant
companionship
could
never
be
theirs
again
.
Anne
looked
up
at
Diana
's
light
and
thought
how
it
had
beaconed
to
her
for
many
years
;
but
soon
it
would
shine
through
the
summer
twilights
no
more
.
Two
big
,
painful
tears
welled
up
in
her
gray
eyes
.
"
Oh
,
"
she
thought
,
"
how
horrible
it
is
that
people
have
to
grow
up
--
and
marry
--
and
CHANGE
!
"
"
After
all
,
the
only
real
roses
are
the
pink
ones
,
"
said
Anne
,
as
she
tied
white
ribbon
around
Diana
's
bouquet
in
the
westward-looking
gable
at
Orchard
Slope
.
"
They
are
the
flowers
of
love
and
faith
.

Diana
was
standing
nervously
in
the
middle
of
the
room
,
arrayed
in
her
bridal
white
,
her
black
curls
frosted
over
with
the
film
of
her
wedding
veil
.
Anne
had
draped
that
veil
,
in
accordance
with
the
sentimental
compact
of
years
before
.
"
It
's
all
pretty
much
as
I
used
to
imagine
it
long
ago
,
when
I
wept
over
your
inevitable
marriage
and
our
consequent
parting
,
"
she
laughed
.
"
You
are
the
bride
of
my
dreams
,
Diana
,
with
the
'
lovely
misty
veil
'
;
and
I
am
YOUR
bridesmaid
.
But
,
alas
!
I
have
n't
the
puffed
sleeves
--
though
these
short
lace
ones
are
even
prettier
.
Neither
is
my
heart
wholly
breaking
nor
do
I
exactly
hate
Fred
.
"
"
We
are
not
really
parting
,
Anne
,
"
protested
Diana
.
"
I
'm
not
going
far
away
.
We
'll
love
each
other
just
as
much
as
ever
.
We
've
always
kept
that
'
oath
'
of
friendship
we
swore
long
ago
,
have
n't
we
?
"
"
Yes
.
We
've
kept
it
faithfully
.
We
've
had
a
beautiful
friendship
,
Diana
.
We
've
never
marred
it
by
one
quarrel
or
coolness
or
unkind
word
;
and
I
hope
it
will
always
be
so
.
But
things
ca
n't
be
quite
the
same
after
this
.
You
'll
have
other
interests
.
I
'll
just
be
on
the
outside
.
But
'
such
is
life
'
as
Mrs.
Rachel
says
.
Mrs.
Rachel
has
given
you
one
of
her
beloved
knitted
quilts
of
the
'
tobacco
stripe
'
pattern
,
and
she
says
when
I
am
married
she
'll
give
me
one
,
too
.

The
mean
thing
about
your
getting
married
is
that
I
wo
n't
be
able
to
be
your
bridesmaid
,
"
lamented
Diana
.
"
I
'm
to
be
Phil
's
bridesmaid
next
June
,
when
she
marries
Mr.
Blake
,
and
then
I
must
stop
,
for
you
know
the
proverb
'
three
times
a
bridesmaid
,
never
a
bride
,
"'
said
Anne
,
peeping
through
the
window
over
the
pink
and
snow
of
the
blossoming
orchard
beneath
.
"
Here
comes
the
minister
,
Diana
.
