But Anne was not interested. Im sorry, Diana, was her only answer.That evening Marilla ran round to Rachel Lyndes house. Rachel, please help me!Anne says she wont go back to school. What am I going to say to her?Mrs Lynde already knew about Annes troubles at school, and she was always very pleased when people asked her to help. She smiled and sat back comfortably.Ive had ten children myself, so I know all about them, she said. Anne can stay at home for a while. Shell want to go back to school again soon, Im sure.So Anne stayed at home, and only saw Diana in the evenings. She was a child who felt very strongly. She hated Gilbert Blythe, but she really loved Diana.One evening Marilla found Anne crying in the kitchen. Whats the matter, child? she asked in surprise.
