'' said Diana . `` Gilbert Blythe was just splendid . Anne , I do think it 's awful mean the way you treat Gil . Wait till I tell you . When you ran off the platform after the fairy dialogue one of your roses fell out of your hair . I saw Gil pick it up and put it in his breast pocket . There now . You 're so romantic that I 'm sure you ought to be pleased at that . '' `` It 's nothing to me what that person does , '' said Anne loftily . `` I simply never waste a thought on him , Diana . '' That night Marilla and Matthew , who had been out to a concert for the first time in twenty years , sat for awhile by the kitchen fire after Anne had gone to bed . `` Well now , I guess our Anne did as well as any of them , '' said Matthew proudly . `` Yes , she did , '' admitted Marilla . `` She 's a bright child , Matthew . And she looked real nice , too . I 've been kind of opposed to this concert scheme , but I suppose there 's no real harm in it after all .
