The proverb you need to go by is ` Look before you leap ' -- especially into spare-room beds . '' Mrs. Lynde laughed comfortably over her mild joke , but Anne remained pensive . She saw nothing to laugh at in the situation , which to her eyes appeared very serious . When she left Mrs. Lynde 's she took her way across the crusted fields to Orchard Slope . Diana met her at the kitchen door . `` Your Aunt Josephine was very cross about it , was n't she ? '' whispered Anne . `` Yes , '' answered Diana , stifling a giggle with an apprehensive glance over her shoulder at the closed sitting-room door . `` She was fairly dancing with rage , Anne . Oh , how she scolded . She said I was the worst-behaved girl she ever saw and that my parents ought to be ashamed of the way they had brought me up . She says she wo n't stay and I 'm sure I do n't care . But Father and Mother do . '' `` Why did n't you tell them it was my fault ? '' demanded Anne . `` It 's likely I 'd do such a thing , is n't it ? ''
