Diana said she thought it was ridiculous for a Sunday-school superintendent to take a prize in pigs , but I do n't see why . Do you ? She said she would always think of it after this when he was praying so solemnly . Clara Louise MacPherson took a prize for painting , and Mrs. Lynde got first prize for homemade butter and cheese . So Avonlea was pretty well represented , was n't it ? Mrs. Lynde was there that day , and I never knew how much I really liked her until I saw her familiar face among all those strangers . There were thousands of people there , Marilla . It made me feel dreadfully insignificant . And Miss Barry took us up to the grandstand to see the horse races . Mrs. Lynde would n't go ; she said horse racing was an abomination and , she being a church member , thought it her bounden duty to set a good example by staying away . But there were so many there I do n't believe Mrs. Lynde 's absence would ever be noticed . I do n't think , though , that I ought to go very often to horse races , because they ARE awfully fascinating . Diana got so excited that she offered to bet me ten cents that the red horse would win . I did n't believe he would , but I refused to bet , because I wanted to tell Mrs. Allan all about everything , and I felt sure it would n't do to tell her that . It 's always wrong to do anything you ca n't tell the minister 's wife . It 's as good as an extra conscience to have a minister 's wife for your friend . And I was very glad I did n't bet , because the red horse DID win , and I would have lost ten cents . So you see that virtue was its own reward . We saw a man go up in a balloon . I 'd love to go up in a balloon , Marilla ; it would be simply thrilling ; and we saw a man selling fortunes .
You paid him ten cents and a little bird picked out your fortune XXXXX you .
So about after among as by for in that to
