I hope your father 's crop is good too . '' `` It is fairly good , thank you . Have you picked many of your apples yet ? '' `` Oh , ever so many , '' said Anne forgetting to be dignified and jumping up quickly . `` Let 's go out to the orchard and get some of the Red Sweetings , Diana . Marilla says we can have all that are left on the tree . Marilla is a very generous woman . She said we could have fruit cake and cherry preserves for tea . But it is n't good manners to tell your company what you are going to give them to eat , so I wo n't tell you what she said we could have to drink . Only it begins with an R and a C and it 's bright red color . I love bright red drinks , do n't you ? They taste twice as good as any other color . '' The orchard , with its great sweeping boughs that bent to the ground with fruit , proved so delightful that the little girls spent most of the afternoon in it , sitting in a grassy corner where the frost had spared the green and the mellow autumn sunshine lingered warmly , eating apples and talking as hard as they could . Diana had much to tell Anne of what went on in school . She had to sit with Gertie Pye and she hated it ; Gertie squeaked her pencil all the time and it just made her -- Diana 's -- blood run cold ; Ruby Gillis had charmed all her warts away , true 's you live , with a magic pebble that old Mary Joe from the Creek gave her . You had to rub the warts with the pebble and then throw it away over your left shoulder at the time of the new moon and the warts would all go . Charlie Sloane 's name was written up with Em White 's on the porch wall and Em White was AWFUL MAD about it ; Sam Boulter had `` sassed '' Mr. Phillips in class and Mr. Phillips whipped him and Sam 's father came down to the school and dared Mr. Phillips to lay a hand on one of his children again ; and Mattie Andrews had a new red hood and a blue crossover with tassels on it and the airs she put on about it were perfectly sickening ; and Lizzie Wright did n't speak to Mamie Wilson because Mamie Wilson 's grown-up sister had cut out Lizzie Wright 's grown-up sister with her beau ; and everybody missed Anne so and wished she 's come to school again ; and Gilbert Blythe -- But Anne did n't want to hear about Gilbert Blythe . She jumped up hurriedly and said suppose they go in and have some raspberry cordial . Anne looked on the second shelf of the room pantry but there was no bottle of raspberry cordial there . Search revealed it away back on the top shelf .
Anne put it on a tray and set it on the table XXXXX a tumbler .
