`` They 're -- they 're not -- pretty , '' said Anne reluctantly . `` Pretty ! '' Marilla sniffed . `` I did n't trouble my head about getting pretty dresses for you . I do n't believe in pampering vanity , Anne , I 'll tell you that right off . Those dresses are good , sensible , serviceable dresses , without any frills or furbelows about them , and they 're all you 'll get this summer . The brown gingham and the blue print will do you for school when you begin to go . The sateen is for church and Sunday school . I 'll expect you to keep them neat and clean and not to tear them . I should think you 'd be grateful to get most anything after those skimpy wincey things you 've been wearing . '' `` Oh , I AM grateful , '' protested Anne . `` But I 'd be ever so much gratefuller if -- if you 'd made just one of them with puffed sleeves . Puffed sleeves are so fashionable now . It would give me such a thrill , Marilla , just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves . '' `` Well , you 'll have to do without your thrill . I had n't any material to waste on puffed sleeves . I think they are ridiculous-looking things anyhow . I prefer the plain , sensible ones . '' `` But I 'd rather look ridiculous when everybody else does than plain and sensible all by myself , '' persisted Anne mournfully . `` Trust you for that !
Well , hang those dresses carefully up XXXXX your closet , and then sit down and learn the Sunday school lesson .
