Look what they are doing this summer for their lawns and lanes . Besides , I 'll be watching for hints at Redmond and I 'll write a paper for it next winter and send it over . Do n't take such a gloomy view of things , Diana . And do n't grudge me my little hour of gladness and jubilation now . Later on , when I have to go away , I 'll feel anything but glad . '' `` It 's all right for you to be glad ... you 're going to college and you 'll have a jolly time and make heaps of lovely new friends . '' `` I hope I shall make new friends , '' said Anne thoughtfully . `` The possibilities of making new friends help to make life very fascinating . But no matter how many friends I make they 'll never be as dear to me as the old ones ... especially a certain girl with black eyes and dimples . Can you guess who she is , Diana ? '' `` But there 'll be so many clever girls at Redmond , '' sighed Diana , `` and I 'm only a stupid little country girl who says ' I seen ' sometimes ... though I really know better when I stop to think . Well , of course these past two years have really been too pleasant to last . I know SOMEBODY who is glad you are going to Redmond anyhow . Anne , I 'm going to ask you a question ... a serious question . Do n't be vexed and do answer seriously . Do you care anything for Gilbert ? '' `` Ever so much as a friend and not a bit in the way you mean , '' said Anne calmly and decidedly ; she also thought she was speaking sincerely . Diana sighed . She wished , somehow , that Anne had answered differently . `` Do n't you mean EVER to be married , Anne ? ''
`` Perhaps ... some day ... when I meet the right one , '' XXXXX Anne , smiling dreamily up at the moonlight .
