I 'll have a brand new stock of ambition laid in by that time after three glorious , golden months of vacation . Jane and Ruby are going to teach . Is n't it splendid to think we all got through even to Moody Spurgeon and Josie Pye ? '' `` The Newbridge trustees have offered Jane their school already , '' said Diana . `` Gilbert Blythe is going to teach , too . He has to . His father ca n't afford to send him to college next year , after all , so he means to earn his own way through . I expect he 'll get the school here if Miss Ames decides to leave . '' Anne felt a queer little sensation of dismayed surprise . She had not known this ; she had expected that Gilbert would be going to Redmond also . What would she do without their inspiring rivalry ? Would not work , even at a coeducational college with a real degree in prospect , be rather flat without her friend the enemy ? The next morning at breakfast it suddenly struck Anne that Matthew was not looking well . Surely he was much grayer than he had been a year before . `` Marilla , '' she said hesitatingly when he had gone out , `` is Matthew quite well ? '' `` No , he is n't , '' said Marilla in a troubled tone . `` He 's had some real bad spells with his heart this spring and he wo n't spare himself a mite . I 've been real worried about him , but he 's some better this while back and we 've got a good hired man , so I 'm hoping he 'll kind of rest and pick up . Maybe he will now you 're home . You always cheer him up . ''
Anne leaned across the table and took XXXXX 's face in her hands .
