I did not mean to -- to -- intoxicate Diana . How could I ? Just imagine if you were a poor little orphan girl that kind people had adopted and you had just one bosom friend in all the world . Do you think you would intoxicate her on purpose ? I thought it was only raspberry cordial . I was firmly convinced it was raspberry cordial . Oh , please do n't say that you wo n't let Diana play with me any more . If you do you will cover my life with a dark cloud of woe . '' This speech which would have softened good Mrs. Lynde 's heart in a twinkling , had no effect on Mrs. Barry except to irritate her still more . She was suspicious of Anne 's big words and dramatic gestures and imagined that the child was making fun of her . So she said , coldly and cruelly : `` I do n't think you are a fit little girl for Diana to associate with . You 'd better go home and behave yourself . '' Anne 's lips quivered . `` Wo n't you let me see Diana just once to say farewell ? '' she implored . `` Diana has gone over to Carmody with her father , '' said Mrs. Barry , going in and shutting the door . Anne went back to Green Gables calm with despair . `` My last hope is gone , '' she told Marilla . `` I went up and saw Mrs. Barry myself and she treated me very insultingly . Marilla , I do NOT think she is a well-bred woman .
There is nothing more XXXXX do except to pray and I have n't much hope that that 'll do much good because , Marilla , I do not believe that God Himself can do very much with such an obstinate person as Mrs. Barry . ''
