When school went out Anne marched to her desk , ostentatiously took out everything therein , books and writing tablet , pen and ink , testament and arithmetic , and piled them neatly on her cracked slate . `` What are you taking all those things home for , Anne ? '' Diana wanted to know , as soon as they were out on the road . She had not dared to ask the question before . `` I am not coming back to school any more , '' said Anne . Diana gasped and stared at Anne to see if she meant it . `` Will Marilla let you stay home ? '' she asked . `` She 'll have to , '' said Anne . `` I 'll NEVER go to school to that man again . '' `` Oh , Anne ! '' Diana looked as if she were ready to cry . `` I do think you 're mean . What shall I do ? Mr. Phillips will make me sit with that horrid Gertie Pye -- I know he will because she is sitting alone . Do come back , Anne . '' `` I 'd do almost anything in the world for you , Diana , '' said Anne sadly . `` I 'd let myself be torn limb from limb if it would do you any good . But I ca n't do this , so please do n't ask it . You harrow up my very soul . ''
`` Just XXXXX of all the fun you will miss , '' mourned Diana .
