`` Anne seems to me real stately and like a queen . But I 'd like Kerrenhappuch if it happened to be your name . I think people make their names nice or ugly just by what they are themselves . I ca n't bear Josie or Gertie for names now but before I knew the Pye girls I thought them real pretty . '' `` That 's a lovely idea , Diana , '' said Anne enthusiastically . `` Living so that you beautify your name , even if it was n't beautiful to begin with ... making it stand in people 's thoughts for something so lovely and pleasant that they never think of it by itself . Thank you , Diana . '' XXII Odds and Ends `` So you had tea at the stone house with Lavendar Lewis ? '' said Marilla at the breakfast table next morning . `` What is she like now ? It 's over fifteen years since I saw her last ... it was one Sunday in Grafton church . I suppose she has changed a great deal .

You ai n't half as hungry . It 's an awful long while between supper and breakfast .
Now , Anne , XXXXX spoonful ai n't any bigger than it was last year and I 'M ever so much bigger . ''
