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 at that . We 'll have our teas over before we call him to his . Dora can have hers with us , but I would never dare to let Davy sit down at the table with all the Aids here . ''
When Anne went XXXXX call the Aids to tea she found that Dora was not in the parlor .
