De la biblioteca
Anne was sitting at her open window, for the time forgetful of the woes of examinations and the cares of the world, as she drank in the beauty of the summer dusk, sweet-scented with flower breaths from the garden below and sibilant and rustling from the stir of poplars.
She came up one evening and found Anne and Marilla sitting at the front door in the warm, scented summer dusk.
“Aren’t they beautiful?” the girl asked, as she breathed in the spicy scent of the bright flowers.
Now it is well known that when there are many of these flowers together their odor is so powerful that anyone who breathes it falls asleep, and if the sleeper is not carried away from the scent of the flowers, he sleeps on and on forever.
