After
Davy
had
gone
to
bed
Anne
wandered
down
to
Victoria
Island
and
sat
there
alone
,
curtained
with
fine-spun
,
moonlit
gloom
,
while
the
water
laughed
around
her
in
a
duet
of
brook
and
wind
.
Anne
had
always
loved
that
brook
.
Many
a
dream
had
she
spun
over
its
sparkling
water
in
days
gone
by
.
She
forgot
lovelorn
youths
,
and
the
cayenne
speeches
of
malicious
neighbors
,
and
all
the
problems
of
her
girlish
existence
.
In
imagination
she
sailed
over
storied
seas
that
wash
the
distant
shining
shores
of
"
faery
lands
forlorn
,
"
where
lost
Atlantis
and
Elysium
lie
,
with
the
evening
star
for
pilot
,
to
the
land
of
Heart
's
Desire
.
And
she
was
richer
in
those
dreams
than
in
realities
;
for
things
seen
pass
away
,
but
the
things
that
are
unseen
are
eternal
.
72
The
following
week
sped
swiftly
,
crowded
with
innumerable
"
last
things
,
"
as
Anne
called
them
.
Good-bye
calls
had
to
be
made
and
received
,
being
pleasant
or
otherwise
,
according
to
whether
callers
and
called-upon
were
heartily
in
sympathy
with
Anne
's
hopes
,
or
thought
she
was
too
much
puffed-up
over
going
to
college
and
that
it
was
their
duty
to
"
take
her
down
a
peg
or
two
.
"
73
The
A.V.I.S.
gave
a
farewell
party
in
honor
of
Anne
and
Gilbert
one
evening
at
the
home
of
Josie
Pye
,
choosing
that
place
,
partly
because
Mr.
Pye
's
house
was
large
and
convenient
,
partly
because
it
was
strongly
suspected
that
the
Pye
girls
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
affair
if
their
offer
of
the
house
for
the
party
was
not
accepted
.
It
was
a
very
pleasant
little
time
,
for
the
Pye
girls
were
gracious
,
and
said
and
did
nothing
to
mar
the
harmony
of
the
occasion
--
which
was
not
according
to
their
wont
.
Josie
was
unusually
amiable
--
so
much
so
that
she
even
remarked
condescendingly
to
Anne
,

"
Your
new
dress
is
rather
becoming
to
you
,
Anne
.
Really
,
you
look
ALMOST
PRETTY
in
it
.
"
75
"
How
kind
of
you
to
say
so
,
"
responded
Anne
,
with
dancing
eyes
.
Her
sense
of
humor
was
developing
,
and
the
speeches
that
would
have
hurt
her
at
fourteen
were
becoming
merely
food
for
amusement
now
.
Josie
suspected
that
Anne
was
laughing
at
her
behind
those
wicked
eyes
;
but
she
contented
herself
with
whispering
to
Gertie
,
as
they
went
downstairs
,
that
Anne
Shirley
would
put
on
more
airs
than
ever
now
that
she
was
going
to
college
--
you
'd
see
!
76
All
the
"
old
crowd
"
was
there
,
full
of
mirth
and
zest
and
youthful
lightheartedness
.
77
Diana
Barry
,
rosy
and
dimpled
,
shadowed
by
the
faithful
Fred
;
Jane
Andrews
,
neat
and
sensible
and
plain
;
Ruby
Gillis
,
looking
her
handsomest
and
brightest
in
a
cream
silk
blouse
,
with
red
geraniums
in
her
golden
hair
;
Gilbert
Blythe
and
Charlie
Sloane
,
both
trying
to
keep
as
near
the
elusive
Anne
as
possible
;
Carrie
Sloane
,
looking
pale
and
melancholy
because
,
so
it
was
reported
,
her
father
would
not
allow
Oliver
Kimball
to
come
near
the
place
;
Moody
Spurgeon
MacPherson
,
whose
round
face
and
objectionable
ears
were
as
round
and
objectionable
as
ever
;
and
Billy
Andrews
,
who
sat
in
a
corner
all
the
evening
,
chuckled
when
any
one
spoke
to
him
,
and
watched
Anne
Shirley
with
a
grin
of
pleasure
on
his
broad
,
freckled
countenance
.

Anne
had
known
beforehand
of
the
party
,
but
she
had
not
known
that
she
and
Gilbert
were
,
as
the
founders
of
the
Society
,
to
be
presented
with
a
very
complimentary
"
address
"
and
"
tokens
of
respect
"
--
in
her
case
a
volume
of
Shakespeare
's
plays
,
in
Gilbert
's
a
fountain
pen
.
She
was
so
taken
by
surprise
and
pleased
by
the
nice
things
said
in
the
address
,
read
in
Moody
Spurgeon
's
most
solemn
and
ministerial
tones
,
that
the
tears
quite
drowned
the
sparkle
of
her
big
gray
eyes
.
She
had
worked
hard
and
faithfully
for
the
A.V.I.S.
,
and
it
warmed
the
cockles
of
her
heart
that
the
members
appreciated
her
efforts
so
sincerely
.
And
they
were
all
so
nice
and
friendly
and
jolly
--
even
the
Pye
girls
had
their
merits
;
at
that
moment
Anne
loved
all
the
world
.
79
She
enjoyed
the
evening
tremendously
,
but
the
end
of
it
rather
spoiled
all
.
80
Gilbert
again
made
the
mistake
of
saying
something
sentimental
to
her
as
they
ate
their
supper
on
the
moonlit
verandah
;
and
Anne
,
to
punish
him
,
was
gracious
to
Charlie
Sloane
and
allowed
the
latter
to
walk
home
with
her
.
She
found
,
however
,
that
revenge
hurts
nobody
quite
so
much
as
the
one
who
tries
to
inflict
it
.
Gilbert
walked
airily
off
with
Ruby
Gillis
,
and
Anne
could
hear
them
laughing
and
talking
gaily
as
they
loitered
along
in
the
still
,
crisp
autumn
air
.
They
were
evidently
having
the
best
of
good
times
,
while
she
was
horribly
bored
by
Charlie
Sloane
,
who
talked
unbrokenly
on
,
and
never
,
even
by
accident
,
said
one
thing
that
was
worth
listening
to
.
Anne
gave
an
occasional
absent
"
yes
"
or
"
no
,
"
and
thought
how
beautiful
Ruby
had
looked
that
night
,
how
very
goggly
Charlie
's
eyes
were
in
the
moonlight
--
worse
even
than
by
daylight
--
and
that
the
world
,
somehow
,
was
n't
quite
such
a
nice
place
as
she
had
believed
it
to
be
earlier
in
the
evening
.
