It was putting flowers on your hat at all , no matter what color they were , that was ridiculous . You are the most aggravating child ! '' `` I do n't see why it 's any more ridiculous to wear flowers on your hat than on your dress , '' protested Anne . `` Lots of little girls there had bouquets pinned on their dresses . What 's the difference ? '' Marilla was not to be drawn from the safe concrete into dubious paths of the abstract . `` Do n't answer me back like that , Anne . It was very silly of you to do such a thing . Never let me catch you at such a trick again . Mrs. Rachel says she thought she would sink through the floor when she saw you come in all rigged out like that . She could n't get near enough to tell you to take them off till it was too late . She says people talked about it something dreadful . Of course they would think I had no better sense than to let you go decked out like that . '' `` Oh , I 'm so sorry , '' said Anne , tears welling into her eyes . `` I never thought you 'd mind . The roses and buttercups were so sweet and pretty I thought they 'd look lovely on my hat . Lots of the little girls had artificial flowers on their hats . I 'm afraid I 'm going to be a dreadful trial to you . Maybe you 'd better send me back to the asylum . That would be terrible ; I do n't think I could endure it ; most likely I would go into consumption ; I 'm so thin as it is , you see .
But that would be better than being a trial XXXXX you . ''
