Goodbye , Anne . '' Anne got herself to her room , sat down on her window seat behind the pines , and cried bitterly . She felt as if something incalculably precious had gone out of her life . It was Gilbert 's friendship , of course . Oh , why must she lose it after this fashion ? `` What is the matter , honey ? '' asked Phil , coming in through the moonlit gloom . Anne did not answer . At that moment she wished Phil were a thousand miles away . `` I suppose you 've gone and refused Gilbert Blythe . You are an idiot , Anne Shirley ! '' `` Do you call it idiotic to refuse to marry a man I do n't love ? '' said Anne coldly , goaded to reply . `` You do n't know love when you see it . You 've tricked something out with your imagination that you think love , and you expect the real thing to look like that . There , that 's the first sensible thing I 've ever said in my life . I wonder how I managed it ? '' `` Phil , '' pleaded Anne , `` please go away and leave me alone for a little while . My world has tumbled into pieces . I want to reconstruct it . ''
`` Without any Gilbert XXXXX it ? ''
