It would be such a disgrace to fail , especially if Gil -- if the others passed . And I get so nervous in an examination that I 'm likely to make a mess of it . I wish I had nerves like Jane Andrews . Nothing rattles her . '' Anne sighed and , dragging her eyes from the witcheries of the spring world , the beckoning day of breeze and blue , and the green things upspringing in the garden , buried herself resolutely in her book . There would be other springs , but if she did not succeed in passing the Entrance , Anne felt convinced that she would never recover sufficiently to enjoy them . CHAPTER XXXII . The Pass List Is Out With the end of June came the close of the term and the close of Miss Stacy 's rule in Avonlea school . Anne and Diana walked home that evening feeling very sober indeed . Red eyes and damp handkerchiefs bore convincing testimony to the fact that Miss Stacy 's farewell words must have been quite as touching as Mr. Phillips 's had been under similar circumstances three years before . Diana looked back at the schoolhouse from the foot of the spruce hill and sighed deeply . `` It does seem as if it was the end of everything , does n't it ? '' she said dismally . `` You ought n't to feel half as badly as I do , '' said Anne , hunting vainly for a dry spot on her handkerchief . `` You 'll be back again next winter , but I suppose I 've left the dear old school forever -- if I have good luck , that is . '' `` It wo n't be a bit the same . Miss Stacy wo n't be there , nor you nor Jane nor Ruby probably . I shall have to sit all alone , for I could n't bear to have another deskmate after you . Oh , we have had jolly times , have n't we , Anne ? It 's dreadful to think they 're all over . ''
Two big tears rolled down by XXXXX 's nose .
