Guess again . '' `` Jane 's mother is going to let her have a birthday party ? '' Diana shook her head , her black eyes dancing with merriment . `` I ca n't think what it can be , '' said Anne in despair , `` unless it 's that Moody Spurgeon MacPherson saw you home from prayer meeting last night . Did he ? '' `` I should think not , '' exclaimed Diana indignantly . `` I would n't be likely to boast of it if he did , the horrid creature ! I knew you could n't guess it . Mother had a letter from Aunt Josephine today , and Aunt Josephine wants you and me to go to town next Tuesday and stop with her for the Exhibition . There ! '' `` Oh , Diana , '' whispered Anne , finding it necessary to lean up against a maple tree for support , `` do you really mean it ? But I 'm afraid Marilla wo n't let me go . She will say that she ca n't encourage gadding about . That was what she said last week when Jane invited me to go with them in their double-seated buggy to the American concert at the White Sands Hotel . I wanted to go , but Marilla said I 'd be better at home learning my lessons and so would Jane . I was bitterly disappointed , Diana . I felt so heartbroken that I would n't say my prayers when I went to bed . But I repented of that and got up in the middle of the night and said them . '' `` I 'll tell you , '' said Diana , `` we 'll get Mother to ask Marilla . She 'll be more likely to let you go then ; and if she does we 'll have the time of our lives , Anne .
I 've never been XXXXX an Exhibition , and it 's so aggravating to hear the other girls talking about their trips .
