We 've kept that ` oath , ' I think ... we 've never had a quarrel nor even a coolness . I shall never forget the thrill that went over me the day you told me you loved me . I had had such a lonely , starved heart all through my childhood . I 'm just beginning to realize how starved and lonely it really was . Nobody cared anything for me or wanted to be bothered with me . I should have been miserable if it had n't been for that strange little dream-life of mine , wherein I imagined all the friends and love I craved . But when I came to Green Gables everything was changed . And then I met you . You do n't know what your friendship meant to me . I want to thank you here and now , dear , for the warm and true affection you 've always given me . '' `` And always , always will , '' sobbed Diana . `` I shall NEVER love anybody ... any GIRL ... half as well as I love you . And if I ever do marry and have a little girl of my own I 'm going to name her ANNE . '' XXVII An Afternoon at the Stone House `` Where are you going , all dressed up , Anne ? '' Davy wanted to know . `` You look bully in that dress . '' Anne had come down to dinner in a new dress of pale green muslin ... the first color she had worn since Matthew 's death . It became her perfectly , bringing out all the delicate , flower-like tints of her face and the gloss and burnish of her hair . `` Davy , how many times have I told you that you must n't use that word , '' she rebuked . `` I 'm going to Echo Lodge . ''
`` Take me XXXXX you , '' entreated Davy .
