Of how many , children or grown-ups , can that be said ? Una Meredith is sweetness personified . She will make a most lovable woman . Carl Meredith , with his love for ants and frogs and spiders , will some day be a naturalist whom all Canada -- nay , all the world , will delight to honour . Do you know of any other family in the Glen , or out of it , of whom all these things can be said ? Away with shamefaced excuses and apologies . We REJOICE in our minister and his splendid boys and girls ! '' Anne stopped , partly because she was out of breath after her vehement speech and partly because she could not trust herself to speak further in view of Miss Cornelia 's face . That good lady was staring helplessly at Anne , apparently engulfed in billows of new ideas . But she came up with a gasp and struck out for shore gallantly . `` Anne Blythe , I wish you WOULD call that meeting and say just that ! You 've made me ashamed of myself , for one , and far be it from me to refuse to admit it . OF COURSE , that is how we should have talked -- especially to the Methodists . And it 's every word of it true -- every word . We 've just been shutting our eyes to the big worth-while things and squinting them on the little things that do n't really matter a pin 's worth . Oh , Anne dearie , I can see a thing when it 's hammered into my head . No more apologizing for Cornelia Marshall ! I shall hold MY head up after this , believe ME -- though I MAY talk things over with you as usual just to relieve my feelings if the Merediths do any more startling stunts . Even that letter I felt so bad about -- why , it 's only a good joke after all , as Norman says . Not many girls would have been cute enough to think of writing it -- and all punctuated so nicely and not one word misspelled .
Just let me hear any Methodist say one word about it -- XXXXX all the same I 'll never forgive Joe Vickers -- believe ME !
