sighed Diana , who belonged to Matthew 's school of critics . `` I do n't see how you can make up such thrilling things out of your own head , Anne . I wish my imagination was as good as yours . '' `` It would be if you 'd only cultivate it , '' said Anne cheeringly . `` I 've just thought of a plan , Diana . Let you and me have a story club all our own and write stories for practice . I 'll help you along until you can do them by yourself . You ought to cultivate your imagination , you know . Miss Stacy says so . Only we must take the right way . I told her about the Haunted Wood , but she said we went the wrong way about it in that . '' This was how the story club came into existence . It was limited to Diana and Anne at first , but soon it was extended to include Jane Andrews and Ruby Gillis and one or two others who felt that their imaginations needed cultivating . No boys were allowed in it -- although Ruby Gillis opined that their admission would make it more exciting -- and each member had to produce one story a week . `` It 's extremely interesting , '' Anne told Marilla . `` Each girl has to read her story out loud and then we talk it over . We are going to keep them all sacredly and have them to read to our descendants . We each write under a nom-de-plume . Mine is Rosamond Montmorency . All the girls do pretty well .
