I think they are ridiculous-looking things anyhow . I prefer the plain , sensible ones . '' `` But I 'd rather look ridiculous when everybody else does than plain and sensible all by myself , '' persisted Anne mournfully . `` Trust you for that ! Well , hang those dresses carefully up in your closet , and then sit down and learn the Sunday school lesson . I got a quarterly from Mr. Bell for you and you 'll go to Sunday school tomorrow , '' said Marilla , disappearing downstairs in high dudgeon . Anne clasped her hands and looked at the dresses . `` I did hope there would be a white one with puffed sleeves , '' she whispered disconsolately . `` I prayed for one , but I did n't much expect it on that account . I did n't suppose God would have time to bother about a little orphan girl 's dress . I knew I 'd just have to depend on Marilla for it . Well , fortunately I can imagine that one of them is of snow-white muslin with lovely lace frills and three-puffed sleeves . '' The next morning warnings of a sick headache prevented Marilla from going to Sunday-school with Anne . `` You 'll have to go down and call for Mrs. Lynde , Anne , '' she said . `` She 'll see that you get into the right class . Now , mind you behave yourself properly . Stay to preaching afterwards and ask Mrs. Lynde to show you our pew . Here 's a cent for collection . Do n't stare at people and do n't fidget . I shall expect you to tell me the text when you come home . ''
