Is n't that something to be proud of , Marilla ? When a minister 's wife has so many claims on her time ! She is such a cheerful person to have visit you , too . She never tells you it 's your own fault and she hopes you 'll be a better girl on account of it . Mrs. Lynde always told me that when she came to see me ; and she said it in a kind of way that made me feel she might hope I 'd be a better girl but did n't really believe I would . Even Josie Pye came to see me . I received her as politely as I could , because I think she was sorry she dared me to walk a ridgepole . If I had been killed she would had to carry a dark burden of remorse all her life . Diana has been a faithful friend . She 's been over every day to cheer my lonely pillow . But oh , I shall be so glad when I can go to school for I 've heard such exciting things about the new teacher . The girls all think she is perfectly sweet . Diana says she has the loveliest fair curly hair and such fascinating eyes . She dresses beautifully , and her sleeve puffs are bigger than anybody else 's in Avonlea . Every other Friday afternoon she has recitations and everybody has to say a piece or take part in a dialogue . Oh , it 's just glorious to think of it . Josie Pye says she hates it but that is just because Josie has so little imagination . Diana and Ruby Gillis and Jane Andrews are preparing a dialogue , called ' A Morning Visit , ' for next Friday . And the Friday afternoons they do n't have recitations Miss Stacy takes them all to the woods for a ` field ' day and they study ferns and flowers and birds . And they have physical culture exercises every morning and evening .
Mrs. Lynde says she never heard XXXXX such goings on and it all comes of having a lady teacher .
