How we wished you had been with us . `` Oh , Diana , if only the geometry examination were over ! But there , as Mrs. Lynde would say , the sun will go on rising and setting whether I fail in geometry or not . That is true but not especially comforting . I think I 'd rather it did n't go on if I failed ! `` Yours devotedly , `` Anne '' The geometry examination and all the others were over in due time and Anne arrived home on Friday evening , rather tired but with an air of chastened triumph about her . Diana was over at Green Gables when she arrived and they met as if they had been parted for years . `` You old darling , it 's perfectly splendid to see you back again . It seems like an age since you went to town and oh , Anne , how did you get along ? '' `` Pretty well , I think , in everything but the geometry . I do n't know whether I passed in it or not and I have a creepy , crawly presentiment that I did n't . Oh , how good it is to be back ! Green Gables is the dearest , loveliest spot in the world . '' `` How did the others do ? '' `` The girls say they know they did n't pass , but I think they did pretty well . Josie says the geometry was so easy a child of ten could do it ! Moody Spurgeon still thinks he failed in history and Charlie says he failed in algebra . But we do n't really know anything about it and wo n't until the pass list is out . That wo n't be for a fortnight . Fancy living a fortnight in such suspense !
I wish I could go to sleep and never wake up XXXXX it is over . ''
