Everybody , young and old , in Avonlea calls me Marilla except the minister . He says Miss Cuthbert -- when he thinks of it . '' `` I 'd love to call you Aunt Marilla , '' said Anne wistfully . `` I 've never had an aunt or any relation at all -- not even a grandmother . It would make me feel as if I really belonged to you . Ca n't I call you Aunt Marilla ? '' `` No . I 'm not your aunt and I do n't believe in calling people names that do n't belong to them . '' `` But we could imagine you were my aunt . '' `` I could n't , '' said Marilla grimly . `` Do you never imagine things different from what they really are ? '' asked Anne wide-eyed . `` No . '' `` Oh ! '' Anne drew a long breath . `` Oh , Miss -- Marilla , how much you miss ! '' `` I do n't believe in imagining things different from what they really are , '' retorted Marilla . `` When the Lord puts us in certain circumstances He does n't mean for us to imagine them away . And that reminds me . Go into the sitting room , Anne -- be sure your feet are clean and do n't let any flies in -- and bring me out the illustrated card that 's on the mantelpiece .
The Lord 's Prayer is XXXXX it and you 'll devote your spare time this afternoon to learning it off by heart .
