Quote #7
When she crossed the log bridge over the brook the kitchen light of Green Gables winked at her a friendly welcome back, and through the open door shone the hearth fire, sending out its warm red glow athwart the chilly autumn night. Anne ran blithely up the hill and into the kitchen, where a hot supper was waiting on the table. (29.37)
Ah, the joy of coming home after travelling. Anne's all about it, and the way she runs in without even pausing shows us how she feels like she belongs there.
Quote #8
The east gable was a very different place from what it had been on that night four years before, when Anne had felt its bareness penetrate to the marrow of her spirit with its inhospitable chill. Changes had crept in, Marilla conniving at them resignedly, until it was as sweet and dainty a nest as a young girl could desire.
The velvet carpet and pink silk curtains of Anne's early visions had certainly never materialized; but her dreams had kept pace with her growth, and it is not probable she lamented them. (33.3-4)
We're about to get another description of how Anne has grown up through a view of her bedroom. It's not how she had imagined her dream room when she was young, but she's changed, and it's her ideal room now.
Quote #9
She looked dismally about her narrow little room, with its dull-papered, pictureless walls, its small iron bedstead and empty bookcase; and a horrible choke came into her throat as she thought of her own white room at Green Gables, where she would have the pleasant consciousness of a great green still outdoors, of sweet peas growing in the garden, and moonlight falling on the orchard, of the brook below the slope and the spruce boughs tossing in the night wind beyond it, of a vast starry sky, and the light from Diana's window shining out through the gap in the trees. (34.16)
Anne's homesick. You might say she's Avonlea-sick, because when she thinks about her room, what she misses is the view of nature that surrounds the Green Gables house.
