I can't imagine how broken hearted Anne must have felt. She was so set on having a "home" and felt as if someone finally "wanted" her.
My favorite line:
"Well this is a pretty kettle of fish, she said wrathfully."
I love that and intend to start using it!
I did have a few more words to define this time:
deprecatingly - to express earnest disapproval of: belittle
raiment - clothing; apparel; attire
perturbation - mental disquiet, disturbance, or agitation
predilection - a tendency to think favorably of something in particular
I'll end this post with this quote:
And upstairs in the east gable, a lonely, heart-hungry, friendless child cried herself to sleep.

Matthew-Anne's Champion! I love it when Marilla asks,"What good could she be to us?" and Matthew replies suddenly and unexpededly, "We might be some good to her."
He loves her already. I think everyone desires a champion like Matthew. Some blessed ones do but most only dream of someone to always be the first to take up for you and defend you. Just like Matthew.
I couldn't agree more. And we know from the movie that they each other good.
