Marilla looked curiously at Anne when the latter entered the kitchen.

โ€œWho was that came up the lane with you, Anne?โ€

โ€œWe havenโ€™t beenโ€”weโ€™ve been good enemies. But we have decided that it will be much more sensible to be good friends in the future. Were we really there half an hour? It seemed just a few minutes. But, you see, we have five yearsโ€™ lost conversations to catch up with, Marilla.โ€

Anne sat long at her window that night companioned by a glad content. The wind purred softly in the cherry boughs, and the mint breaths came up to her. The stars twinkled over the pointed firs in the hollow and Dianaโ€™s light gleamed through the old gap.

The joy of sincere work and worthy aspiration and congenial friendship were to be hers; nothing could rob her of her birthright of fancy or her ideal world of dreams. And there was always the bend in the road!

โ€œ`Godโ€™s in his heaven, allโ€™s right with the world,โ€™โ€ whispered Anne softly.
