Quote #7
Anne's unhappiness continued for a week. During that time she went nowhere and shampooed her hair every day. Diana alone of outsiders knew the fatal secret, but she promised solemnly never to tell, and it may be stated here and now that she kept her word. (27.33)
You've got to admire Diana's secret-keeping ability, especially since "Anne accidentally dyed her hair green" would have been a juicy gossip.
Quote #8
Miss Barry was a rather selfish old lady, if the truth must be told, and had never cared much for anybody but herself. She valued people only as they were of service to her or amused her. Anne had amused her, and consequently stood high in the old lady's good graces. But Miss Barry found herself thinking less about Anne's quaint speeches than of her fresh enthusiasm, her transparent emotions, her little winning ways, and the sweetness of her eyes and lips. (29.33)
And her heart grew three sizes that day. This is the part when Anne changes from a funny distraction to someone Miss Barry actually cares about.
Quote #9
"Diana and I are thinking seriously of promising each other that we will never marry but be nice old maids and live together forever." (30.7)
Every once in awhile, Anne gets stressed out about the future, when she imagines she and Diana will marry and spend less time together. It may seem like a silly thing to worry about, but think of it this way: aside from family, Anne and Diana are the most important people in each other's lives. Who can blame them for wanting to stay that way?
