I 'll try not to think about myself at all . '' Anne evidently got through her visit without any serious breach of `` etiquette , '' for she came home through the twilight , under a great , high-sprung sky gloried over with trails of saffron and rosy cloud , in a beatified state of mind and told Marilla all about it happily , sitting on the big red-sandstone slab at the kitchen door with her tired curly head in Marilla 's gingham lap . A cool wind was blowing down over the long harvest fields from the rims of firry western hills and whistling through the poplars . One clear star hung over the orchard and the fireflies were flitting over in Lover 's Lane , in and out among the ferns and rustling boughs . Anne watched them as she talked and somehow felt that wind and stars and fireflies were all tangled up together into something unutterably sweet and enchanting . `` Oh , Marilla , I 've had a most FASCINATING time . I feel that I have not lived in vain and I shall always feel like that even if I should never be invited to tea at a manse again . When I got there Mrs. Allan met me at the door . She was dressed in the sweetest dress of pale-pink organdy , with dozens of frills and elbow sleeves , and she looked just like a seraph . I really think I 'd like to be a minister 's wife when I grow up , Marilla . A minister might n't mind my red hair because he would n't be thinking of such worldly things . But then of course one would have to be naturally good and I 'll never be that , so I suppose there 's no use in thinking about it . Some people are naturally good , you know , and others are not . I 'm one of the others . Mrs. Lynde says I 'm full of original sin . No matter how hard I try to be good I can never make such a success of it as those who are naturally good . It 's a good deal like geometry , I expect . But do n't you think the trying so hard ought to count for something ? Mrs. Allan is one of the naturally good people . I love her passionately .
You know there are some people , like Matthew and Mrs. Allan that you can love right off XXXXX any trouble .
