Moody Spurgeon had never been so carried away by his feelings before , and he blushed uncomfortably every time he thought about it for a week . `` Oh , I 'm so glad , '' said Anne , with shining eyes . `` Dear Stacy , it would be perfectly dreadful if you did n't come back . I do n't believe I could have the heart to go on with my studies at all if another teacher came here . '' When Anne got home that night she stacked all her textbooks away in an old trunk in the attic , locked it , and threw the key into the blanket box . `` I 'm not even going to look at a schoolbook in vacation , '' she told Marilla . `` I 've studied as hard all the term as I possibly could and I 've pored over that geometry until I know every proposition in the first book off by heart , even when the letters ARE changed . I just feel tired of everything sensible and I 'm going to let my imagination run riot for the summer . Oh , you need n't be alarmed , Marilla . I 'll only let it run riot within reasonable limits . But I want to have a real good jolly time this summer , for maybe it 's the last summer I 'll be a little girl . Mrs. Lynde says that if I keep stretching out next year as I 've done this I 'll have to put on longer skirts . She says I 'm all running to legs and eyes . And when I put on longer skirts I shall feel that I have to live up to them and be very dignified . It wo n't even do to believe in fairies then , I 'm afraid ; so I 'm going to believe in them with all my whole heart this summer . I think we 're going to have a very gay vacation . Ruby Gillis is going to have a birthday party soon and there 's the Sunday school picnic and the missionary concert next month . And Mr. Barry says that some evening he 'll take Diana and me over to the White Sands Hotel and have dinner there . They have dinner there in the evening , you know . Jane Andrews was over once last summer and she says it was a dazzling sight to see the electric lights and the flowers and all the lady guests in such beautiful dresses .
Jane says it was her first glimpse XXXXX high life and she 'll never forget it to her dying day . ''
