From the library
“Somehow,” she told Diana, “when I’m going through here I don’t really care whether Gil--whether anybody gets ahead of me in class or not.
But I hate to stay home, for Gil--some of the others will get head of the class, and it’s so hard to get up again--although of course the harder it is the more satisfaction you have when you do get up, haven’t you?”
By the end of the term Anne and Gilbert were both promoted into the fifth class and allowed to begin studying the elements of “the branches”--by which Latin, geometry, French, and algebra were meant.
She flung herself into her studies heart and soul, determined not to be outdone in any class by Gilbert Blythe.
