`` What 's the matter with you ? '' demanded justly astonished Mrs. Lynde . `` Are you sick ? '' `` No , '' muttered Davy . `` You look pale . You 'd better keep out of the sun this afternoon , '' admonished Mrs. Lynde . `` Do you know how many lies you told Mrs. Lynde ? '' asked Dora reproachfully , as soon as they were alone after dinner . Davy , goaded to desperation , turned fiercely . `` I do n't know and I do n't care , '' he said . `` You just shut up , Dora Keith . '' Then poor Davy betook himself to a secluded retreat behind the woodpile to think over the way of transgressors . Green Gables was wrapped in darkness and silence when Anne reached home . She lost no time going to bed , for she was very tired and sleepy . There had been several Avonlea jollifications the preceding week , involving rather late hours . Anne 's head was hardly on her pillow before she was half asleep ; but just then her door was softly opened and a pleading voice said , `` Anne . '' Anne sat up drowsily . `` Davy , is that you ? What is the matter ? '' A white-clad figure flung itself across the floor and on to the bed .
`` Anne , '' sobbed XXXXX , getting his arms about her neck .
