`` Oh , this has been such a Jonah day , Marilla . I 'm so ashamed of myself . I lost my temper and whipped Anthony Pye . '' `` I 'm glad to hear it , '' said Marilla with decision . `` It 's what you should have done long ago . '' `` Oh , no , no , Marilla . And I do n't see how I can ever look those children in the face again . I feel that I have humiliated myself to the very dust . You do n't know how cross and hateful and horrid I was . I ca n't forget the expression in Paul Irving 's eyes ... he looked so surprised and disappointed . Oh , Marilla , I HAVE tried so hard to be patient and to win Anthony 's liking ... and now it has all gone for nothing . '' Marilla passed her hard work-worn hand over the girl 's glossy , tumbled hair with a wonderful tenderness . When Anne 's sobs grew quieter she said , very gently for her , `` You take things too much to heart , Anne . We all make mistakes ... but people forget them . And Jonah days come to everybody . As for Anthony Pye , why need you care if he does dislike you ? He is the only one . '' `` I ca n't help it . I want everybody to love me and it hurts me so when anybody does n't . And Anthony never will now .
Oh , I just made an idiot XXXXX myself today , Marilla .
Anne Pye days for in of over that to with
