But alas , he had forgotten he could n't swim , and they were both drowned , clasped in each other 's arms . Their bodies were washed ashore soon afterwards . They were buried in the one grave and their funeral was most imposing , Diana . It 's so much more romantic to end a story up with a funeral than a wedding . As for Cordelia , she went insane with remorse and was shut up in a lunatic asylum . I thought that was a poetical retribution for her crime . '' `` How perfectly lovely ! '' sighed Diana , who belonged to Matthew 's school of critics . `` I do n't see how you can make up such thrilling things out of your own head , Anne . I wish my imagination was as good as yours . '' `` It would be if you 'd only cultivate it , '' said Anne cheeringly . `` I 've just thought of a plan , Diana . Let you and me have a story club all our own and write stories for practice . I 'll help you along until you can do them by yourself . You ought to cultivate your imagination , you know . Miss Stacy says so . Only we must take the right way . I told her about the Haunted Wood , but she said we went the wrong way about it in that . '' This was how the story club came into existence . It was limited to Diana and Anne at first , but soon it was extended to include Jane Andrews and Ruby Gillis and one or two others who felt that their imaginations needed cultivating .
No boys were allowed XXXXX it -- although Ruby Gillis opined that their admission would make it more exciting -- and each member had to produce one story a week .
