said Anne . `` Is n't his name that 's written up on the porch wall with Julia Bell 's and a big ` Take Notice ' over them ? '' `` Yes , '' said Diana , tossing her head , `` but I 'm sure he does n't like Julia Bell so very much . I 've heard him say he studied the multiplication table by her freckles . '' `` Oh , do n't speak about freckles to me , '' implored Anne . `` It is n't delicate when I 've got so many . But I do think that writing take-notices up on the wall about the boys and girls is the silliest ever . I should just like to see anybody dare to write my name up with a boy 's . Not , of course , '' she hastened to add , `` that anybody would . '' Anne sighed . She did n't want her name written up . But it was a little humiliating to know that there was no danger of it . `` Nonsense , '' said Diana , whose black eyes and glossy tresses had played such havoc with the hearts of Avonlea schoolboys that her name figured on the porch walls in half a dozen take-notices . `` It 's only meant as a joke . And do n't you be too sure your name wo n't ever be written up . Charlie Sloane is DEAD GONE on you . He told his mother -- his MOTHER , mind you -- that you were the smartest girl in school . That 's better than being good looking . '' `` No , it is n't , '' said Anne , feminine to the core . `` I 'd rather be pretty than clever .
And I hate Charlie XXXXX , I ca n't bear a boy with goggle eyes .
