She was building a castle in air -- a wondrous mansion whose sunlit courts and stately halls were steeped in Araby 's perfume , and where she reigned queen and chatelaine . She frowned as she saw Gilbert coming through the orchard . Of late she had managed not to be left alone with Gilbert . But he had caught her fairly now ; and even Rusty had deserted her . Gilbert sat down beside her on the boulder and held out his Mayflowers . `` Do n't these remind you of home and our old schoolday picnics , Anne ? '' Anne took them and buried her face in them . `` I 'm in Mr. Silas Sloane 's barrens this very minute , '' she said rapturously . `` I suppose you will be there in reality in a few days ? '' `` No , not for a fortnight . I 'm going to visit with Phil in Bolingbroke before I go home . You 'll be in Avonlea before I will . '' `` No , I shall not be in Avonlea at all this summer , Anne . I 've been offered a job in the Daily News office and I 'm going to take it . '' `` Oh , '' said Anne vaguely . She wondered what a whole Avonlea summer would be like without Gilbert . Somehow she did not like the prospect . `` Well , '' she concluded flatly , `` it is a good thing for you , of course . '' `` Yes , I 've been hoping I would get it . It will help me out next year . ''
