`` Ow ... mommer ... mommer ... ow ... take it off ... ow ... get it out ... ow ... that bad boy put it down my neck ... ow ... mommer ... it 's going further down ... ow ... ow ... ow ... '' Mrs. White rose and with a set face carried the hysterical , writhing Lauretta out of church . Her shrieks died away in the distance and Mr. Allan proceeded with the service . But everybody felt that it was a failure that day . For the first time in her life Marilla took no notice of the text and Anne sat with scarlet cheeks of mortification . When they got home Marilla put Davy to bed and made him stay there for the rest of the day . She would not give him any dinner but allowed him a plain tea of bread and milk . Anne carried it to him and sat sorrowfully by him while he ate it with an unrepentant relish . But Anne 's mournful eyes troubled him . `` I s ` pose , '' he said reflectively , `` that Paul Irving would n't have dropped a caterpillar down a girl 's neck in church , would he ? '' `` Indeed he would n't , '' said Anne sadly . `` Well , I 'm kind of sorry I did it , then , '' conceded Davy . `` But it was such a jolly big caterpillar ... I picked him up on the church steps just as we went in . It seemed a pity to waste him . And say , was n't it fun to hear that girl yell ? '' Tuesday afternoon the Aid Society met at Green Gables . Anne hurried home from school , for she knew that Marilla would need all the assistance she could give . Dora , neat and proper , in her nicely starched white dress and black sash , was sitting with the members of the Aid in the parlor , speaking demurely when spoken to , keeping silence when not , and in every way comporting herself as a model child . Davy , blissfully dirty , was making mud pies in the barnyard . `` I told him he might , '' said Marilla wearily . `` I thought it would keep him out of worse mischief .
He can only get dirty XXXXX that .
