I 'm in two dialogues -- ` The Society for the Suppression of Gossip ' and ` The Fairy Queen . ' The boys are going to have a dialogue too . And I 'm to have two recitations , Marilla . I just tremble when I think of it , but it 's a nice thrilly kind of tremble . And we 're to have a tableau at the last -- ` Faith , Hope and Charity . ' Diana and Ruby and I are to be in it , all draped in white with flowing hair . I 'm to be Hope , with my hands clasped -- so -- and my eyes uplifted . I 'm going to practice my recitations in the garret . Do n't be alarmed if you hear me groaning . I have to groan heartrendingly in one of them , and it 's really hard to get up a good artistic groan , Marilla . Josie Pye is sulky because she did n't get the part she wanted in the dialogue . She wanted to be the fairy queen . That would have been ridiculous , for who ever heard of a fairy queen as fat as Josie ? Fairy queens must be slender . Jane Andrews is to be the queen and I am to be one of her maids of honor . Josie says she thinks a red-haired fairy is just as ridiculous as a fat one , but I do not let myself mind what Josie says . I 'm to have a wreath of white roses on my hair and Ruby Gillis is going to lend me her slippers because I have n't any of my own . It 's necessary for fairies to have slippers , you know . You could n't imagine a fairy wearing boots , could you ? Especially with copper toes ?
We are going to decorate the hall with creeping spruce and fir mottoes XXXXX pink tissue-paper roses in them .
