I never saw a child so worked up . I 've been expecting trouble ever since she started to school . I knew things were going too smooth to last . She 's so high strung . What would you advise , Rachel ? '' `` Well , since you 've asked my advice , Marilla , '' said Mrs. Lynde amiably -- Mrs. Lynde dearly loved to be asked for advice -- `` I 'd just humor her a little at first , that 's what I 'd do . It 's my belief that Mr. Phillips was in the wrong . Of course , it does n't do to say so to the children , you know . And of course he did right to punish her yesterday for giving way to temper . But today it was different . The others who were late should have been punished as well as Anne , that 's what . And I do n't believe in making the girls sit with the boys for punishment . It is n't modest . Tillie Boulter was real indignant . She took Anne 's part right through and said all the scholars did too . Anne seems real popular among them , somehow . I never thought she 'd take with them so well . '' `` Then you really think I 'd better let her stay home , '' said Marilla in amazement . `` Yes . That is I would n't say school to her again until she said it herself .
Depend upon it , Marilla , she 'll cool off in a week or so and be ready enough to go back XXXXX her own accord , that 's what , while , if you were to make her go back right off , dear knows what freak or tantrum she 'd take next and make more trouble than ever .
