Excerpts

Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert have asked the orphanage for a boy.  So when spirited redheaded chatterbox Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables, the Cuthberts are shocked and try to take her back to the orphanage.  Can Anne convince them to have a change of heart?

"There's been a mistake," Marilla said.  "Matthew and I wanted you to bring us a boy.  Can we send the child back?"

"I suppose so," said Mrs.  Spencer thoughtfully.  "But I don't think that will be necessary.  Mrs.  Blewett was here yesterday.  She's looking for a child to help her.  She has a large family, you know.  And here comes Mrs.  Blewett now!," she exclaimed.  "We can settle the matter right away."

Mrs.  Blewett darted her eyes over Anne from head to foot.  "Humph! There's not much to you.  But you're wiry, and the wiry ones can work the hardest.  You'll have to be good and smart and respectful.  I'll expect you to earn your keep.  All right, I can take her home now."

Marilla looked down at Anne's pale, miserable face.  "Well, I don't know," she said slowly.  "I didn't say that we were absolutely not going to keep her.  I think I'll take her home again and talk it over with Matthew."

Anne did not speak until she and Marilla were in the buggy, driving back to Green Gables.  "I'd rather go back to the orphanage than live with that woman," Anne said firmly.  "I'll do anything you want, if only you'll keep me."
