She 's too worked up and I 've an idea she can be awful stubborn if she takes the notion . Far as I can make out from her story , Mr. Phillips has been carrying matters with a rather high hand . But it would never do to say so to her . I 'll just talk it over with Rachel . She 's sent ten children to school and she ought to know something about it . She 'll have heard the whole story , too , by this time . '' Marilla found Mrs. Lynde knitting quilts as industriously and cheerfully as usual . `` I suppose you know what I 've come about , '' she said , a little shamefacedly . Mrs. Rachel nodded . `` About Anne 's fuss in school , I reckon , '' she said . `` Tillie Boulter was in on her way home from school and told me about it . '' `` I do n't know what to do with her , '' said Marilla . `` She declares she wo n't go back to school . I never saw a child so worked up . I 've been expecting trouble ever since she started to school . I knew things were going too smooth to last . She 's so high strung . What would you advise , Rachel ? '' `` Well , since you 've asked my advice , Marilla , '' said Mrs. Lynde amiably -- Mrs. Lynde dearly loved to be asked for advice -- `` I 'd just humor her a little at first , that 's what I 'd do . It 's my belief that Mr. Phillips was in the wrong .
Of course , it does n't do to say so XXXXX the children , you know .
