I hope you were a good girl . '' `` Indeed I was , '' said Anne comfortably . `` It was n't so hard as you might imagine , either . I sit with Diana . Our seat is right by the window and we can look down to the Lake of Shining Waters . There are a lot of nice girls in school and we had scrumptious fun playing at dinnertime . It 's so nice to have a lot of little girls to play with . But of course I like Diana best and always will . I ADORE Diana . I 'm dreadfully far behind the others . They 're all in the fifth book and I 'm only in the fourth . I feel that it 's kind of a disgrace . But there 's not one of them has such an imagination as I have and I soon found that out . We had reading and geography and Canadian history and dictation today . Mr. Phillips said my spelling was disgraceful and he held up my slate so that everybody could see it , all marked over . I felt so mortified , Marilla ; he might have been politer to a stranger , I think . Ruby Gillis gave me an apple and Sophia Sloane lent me a lovely pink card with ` May I see you home ? ' on it . I 'm to give it back to her tomorrow . And Tillie Boulter let me wear her bead ring all the afternoon .
Can I have some of those pearl beads off the old pincushion in the garret XXXXX make myself a ring ?
