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 . Ruby Gillis is rather sentimental . She puts too much lovemaking into her stories and you know too much is worse than too little . Jane never puts any because she says it makes her feel so silly when she had to read it out loud . Jane 's stories are extremely sensible . Then Diana puts too many murders into hers . She says most of the time she does n't know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them . I mostly always have to tell them what to write about , but that is n't hard for I 've millions of ideas . '' `` I think this story-writing business is the foolishest yet , '' scoffed Marilla . `` You 'll get a pack of nonsense into your heads and waste time that should be put on your lessons . Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse . ''
`` But we 're so careful XXXXX put a moral into them all , Marilla , '' explained Anne .
