Mrs. Lynde says Mrs. Wrights grandfather stole a sheep but Marilla says we mustent speak ill of the dead. Why mustent we, Anne? I want to know. It's pretty safe ain't it?
Mrs. Davis did not say anything half so amiable as good afternoon, but she took her departure.
Marilla, isn’t niece to think that to-morrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? I’ll warrant you’ll make plenty in it said Marilla. I never saw your beat for making mistakes, Anne. Yes, and well...
Marilla Cuthbert was driving into the yard as Anne returned from the house, and the latter flew to get tea ready. They discussed the matter at the tea table. I'll be glad when the auction is over, sai...

It was very humiliating to be worsted by a girl—a country girl at that, who had passed most of her life on a farm! No doubt she was strong-minded and wanted to vote. I was quite prepared to believe an...
