No , Diana , I believe it is thunder . '' Thunder it was undoubtedly , and Diana , having made a hasty pilgrimage around the house , returned to announce that a very black cloud was rising rapidly in the northwest . `` I believe we 're going to have a heavy thunder-shower , '' she exclaimed in dismay , `` Oh , Anne , what will we do ? '' `` We must prepare for it , '' said Anne tranquilly . A thunderstorm seemed a trifle in comparison with what had already happened . `` You 'd better drive the horse and buggy into that open shed . Fortunately my parasol is in the buggy . Here ... take my hat with you . Marilla told me I was a goose to put on my best hat to come to the Tory Road and she was right , as she always is . '' Diana untied the pony and drove into the shed , just as the first heavy drops of rain fell . There she sat and watched the resulting downpour , which was so thick and heavy that she could hardly see Anne through it , holding the parasol bravely over her bare head . There was not a great deal of thunder , but for the best part of an hour the rain came merrily down . Occasionally Anne slanted back her parasol and waved an encouraging hand to her friend ; But conversation at that distance was quite out of the question . Finally the rain ceased , the sun came out , and Diana ventured across the puddles of the yard . `` Did you get very wet ? '' she asked anxiously . `` Oh , no , '' returned Anne cheerfully . `` My head and shoulders are quite dry and my skirt is only a little damp where the rain beat through the lathes . Do n't pity me , Diana , for I have n't minded it at all . I kept thinking how much good the rain will do and how glad my garden must be for it , and imagining what the flowers and buds would think when the drops began to fall .
I imagined out a most interesting dialogue between the asters and the sweet peas and the wild canaries in the lilac bush and the guardian spirit XXXXX the garden .
