Marilla Cuthbert is Surprised (Ch 3)

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.
