Anne wondered if she had heard aright . `` Oh , Marilla , you do n't mean to sell Green Gables ! '' `` Anne , I do n't know what else is to be done . I 've thought it all over . If my eyes were strong I could stay here and make out to look after things and manage , with a good hired man . But as it is I ca n't . I may lose my sight altogether ; and anyway I 'll not be fit to run things . Oh , I never thought I 'd live to see the day when I 'd have to sell my home . But things would only go behind worse and worse all the time , till nobody would want to buy it . Every cent of our money went in that bank ; and there 's some notes Matthew gave last fall to pay . Mrs. Lynde advises me to sell the farm and board somewhere -- with her I suppose . It wo n't bring much -- it 's small and the buildings are old . But it 'll be enough for me to live on I reckon . I 'm thankful you 're provided for with that scholarship , Anne . I 'm sorry you wo n't have a home to come to in your vacations , that 's all , but I suppose you 'll manage somehow . '' Marilla broke down and wept bitterly . `` You must n't sell Green Gables , '' said Anne resolutely . `` Oh , Anne , I wish I did n't have to . But you can see for yourself . I ca n't stay here alone .
I 'd go crazy XXXXX trouble and loneliness .
