`` You 've only two more months before the Entrance , '' said Marilla . `` Do you think you 'll be able to get through ? '' Anne shivered . `` I do n't know . Sometimes I think I 'll be all right -- and then I get horribly afraid . We 've studied hard and Miss Stacy has drilled us thoroughly , but we may n't get through for all that . We 've each got a stumbling block . Mine is geometry of course , and Jane 's is Latin , and Ruby and Charlie 's is algebra , and Josie 's is arithmetic . Moody Spurgeon says he feels it in his bones that he is going to fail in English history . Miss Stacy is going to give us examinations in June just as hard as we 'll have at the Entrance and mark us just as strictly , so we 'll have some idea . I wish it was all over , Marilla . It haunts me . Sometimes I wake up in the night and wonder what I 'll do if I do n't pass . '' `` Why , go to school next year and try again , '' said Marilla unconcernedly . `` Oh , I do n't believe I 'd have the heart for it . It would be such a disgrace to fail , especially if Gil -- if the others passed . And I get so nervous in an examination that I 'm likely to make a mess of it . I wish I had nerves like Jane Andrews . Nothing rattles her . '' Anne sighed and , dragging her eyes from the witcheries of the spring world , the beckoning day of breeze and blue , and the green things upspringing in the garden , buried herself resolutely in her book .
There would be other springs , but if she did not succeed in passing the Entrance , Anne felt convinced that she would never recover sufficiently XXXXX enjoy them .
