Anne , standing behind them , implored Priscilla with her eyes not to perpetrate another such name and Priscilla rose to the occasion with `` Glimmer-glass . '' Anne 's selection was `` The Fairies ' Mirror . '' The names were written on strips of birch bark with a pencil Schoolma'am Jane produced from her pocket , and placed in Anne 's hat . Then Priscilla shut her eyes and drew one . `` Crystal Lake , '' read Jane triumphantly . Crystal Lake it was , and if Anne thought that chance had played the pool a shabby trick she did not say so . Pushing through the undergrowth beyond , the girls came out to the young green seclusion of Mr. Silas Sloane 's back pasture . Across it they found the entrance to a lane striking up through the woods and voted to explore it also . It rewarded their quest with a succession of pretty surprises . First , skirting Mr. Sloane 's pasture , came an archway of wild cherry trees all in bloom . The girls swung their hats on their arms and wreathed their hair with the creamy , fluffy blossoms . Then the lane turned at right angles and plunged into a spruce wood so thick and dark that they walked in a gloom as of twilight , with not a glimpse of sky or sunlight to be seen . `` This is where the bad wood elves dwell , '' whispered Anne . `` They are impish and malicious but they ca n't harm us , because they are not allowed to do evil in the spring . There was one peeping at us around that old twisted fir ; and did n't you see a group of them on that big freckly toadstool we just passed ? The good fairies always dwell in the sunshiny places .

What would you wish for , girls , if you could have a wish granted ? I 'd wish to be rich and beautiful and clever . ''
