`` Oh , indeed , Marilla , I do want to hear it , '' cried Anne contritely . `` I wo n't say another word -- not one . I know I talk too much , but I am really trying to overcome it , and although I say far too much , yet if you only knew how many things I want to say and do n't , you 'd give me some credit for it . Please tell me , Marilla . '' `` Well , Miss Stacy wants to organize a class among her advanced students who mean to study for the entrance examination into Queen 's . She intends to give them extra lessons for an hour after school . And she came to ask Matthew and me if we would like to have you join it . What do you think about it yourself , Anne ? Would you like to go to Queen 's and pass for a teacher ? '' `` Oh , Marilla ! '' Anne straightened to her knees and clasped her hands . `` It 's been the dream of my life -- that is , for the last six months , ever since Ruby and Jane began to talk of studying for the Entrance . But I did n't say anything about it , because I supposed it would be perfectly useless . I 'd love to be a teacher . But wo n't it be dreadfully expensive ? Mr. Andrews says it cost him one hundred and fifty dollars to put Prissy through , and Prissy was n't a dunce in geometry . '' `` I guess you need n't worry about that part of it . When Matthew and I took you to bring up we resolved we would do the best we could for you and give you a good education . I believe in a girl being fitted to earn her own living whether she ever has to or not . You 'll always have a home at Green Gables as long as Matthew and I are here , but nobody knows what is going to happen in this uncertain world , and it 's just as well to be prepared .
So you can join the Queen 's class XXXXX you like , Anne . ''
