DO N'T look like that , Anne . While there 's life there 's hope . '' `` Mr. Harrison was here this evening and he said they had no hope of him , '' reiterated Davy . Marilla , looking old and worn and tired , got up and marched Davy grimly out of the kitchen . `` Oh , DO N'T look so , dear , '' said Mrs. Rachel , putting her kind old arms about the pallid girl . `` I have n't given up hope , indeed I have n't . He 's got the Blythe constitution in his favor , that 's what . '' Anne gently put Mrs. Lynde 's arms away from her , walked blindly across the kitchen , through the hall , up the stairs to her old room . At its window she knelt down , staring out unseeingly . It was very dark . The rain was beating down over the shivering fields . The Haunted Woods was full of the groans of mighty trees wrung in the tempest , and the air throbbed with the thunderous crash of billows on the distant shore . And Gilbert was dying ! There is a book of Revelation in every one 's life , as there is in the Bible . Anne read hers that bitter night , as she kept her agonized vigil through the hours of storm and darkness . She loved Gilbert -- had always loved him ! She knew that now . She knew that she could no more cast him out of her life without agony than she could have cut off her right hand and cast it from her . And the knowledge had come too late -- too late even for the bitter solace of being with him at the last . If she had not been so blind -- so foolish -- she would have had the right to go to him now .
But he would never know that she loved him -- he would XXXXX away from this life thinking that she did not care .
