The Pass List is Out (ch 32)

Will she pass or fail?

"if you can't be cheerful, be as cheerful as you can."

and

"the sun will go on rising and setting even if I fail geometry"

Anne's Bringing-up Is Begun (ch. 8)

Anne went and attended to the dishcloth. Then she returned to Marilla and fastened imploring eyes on the latter's face. I love the use of "latter's face" here. I don't think I've ever heard that before. It seems so much more interesting that saying "Marilla's face."

I do wish that Marilla had let her call her Aunt Marilla. However, I do agree with Marilla on one point. "When the Lord puts us in certain circumstances He doesn't mean for us ti imagine them away."

I loved the paragraph about the picture of Jesus and the children. What did you think?
