Star goes on a long tangent about fabric and garment construction before finally returning to the chapter where we hear all about Anne's first day at Sunday School. What Anne says about the sermon and the preacher makes Marilla feel like this clever child can read her mind!

Rachel deserved what she got (Matthew's words) and even Marilla chuckled thinking about it, but Anne must be punished. Anne refuses to apologize and welcomes a life of solitary confinement, but can Matthew soften her heart and bring about a reconciliation that will restore peace to Avonlea?

But where has our nosy and outspoken neighbor been all this time? Rachel has been confined at home with an unseasonable attack of the grippe, but as soon as she feels better she rushes right up to Green Gables to meet the "imported orphan" she is so curious about. It is a clash of tempers and we are here for it!

Marilla intends to give Anne a proper education in religion and house-hold chores, but how on earth do you keep an imagination like Anne's grounded long enough to memorize a passage or scald a dishcloth?!

This time, instead of chattering about her dreams and fancies to a bemused Matthew, she is reluctantly recounting her tragic childhood to an increasingly sympathetic Marilla.
