`` I 'll imagine that I like them , '' said Anne soberly . `` I do n't want you to imagine it , '' said Marilla , offended . `` Oh , I can see you do n't like the dresses ! What is the matter with them ? Are n't they neat and clean and new ? '' `` Yes . '' `` Then why do n't you like them ? '' `` They 're -- they 're not -- pretty , '' said Anne reluctantly . `` Pretty ! '' Marilla sniffed . `` I did n't trouble my head about getting pretty dresses for you . I do n't believe in pampering vanity , Anne , I 'll tell you that right off . Those dresses are good , sensible , serviceable dresses , without any frills or furbelows about them , and they 're all you 'll get this summer . The brown gingham and the blue print will do you for school when you begin to go . The sateen is for church and Sunday school . I 'll expect you to keep them neat and clean and not to tear them . I should think you 'd be grateful to get most anything after those skimpy wincey things you 've been wearing . '' `` Oh , I AM grateful , '' protested Anne . `` But I 'd be ever so much gratefuller if -- if you 'd made just one of them with puffed sleeves . Puffed sleeves are so fashionable now .
It would give me such a thrill , Marilla , just XXXXX wear a dress with puffed sleeves . ''
