Mr. Harrison said , `` Thought you 'd come to it , '' when he heard it , and Jane rubbed it in rather unmercifully . XIII A Golden Picnic Anne , on her way to Orchard Slope , met Diana , bound for Green Gables , just where the mossy old log bridge spanned the brook below the Haunted Wood , and they sat down by the margin of the Dryad 's Bubble , where tiny ferns were unrolling like curly-headed green pixy folk wakening up from a nap . `` I was just on my way over to invite you to help me celebrate my birthday on Saturday , '' said Anne . `` Your birthday ? But your birthday was in March ! '' `` That was n't my fault , '' laughed Anne . `` If my parents had consulted me it would never have happened then . I should have chosen to be born in spring , of course . It must be delightful to come into the world with the mayflowers and violets . You would always feel that you were their foster sister . But since I did n't , the next best thing is to celebrate my birthday in the spring . Priscilla is coming over Saturday and Jane will be home . We 'll all four start off to the woods and spend a golden day making the acquaintance of the spring . We none of us really know her yet , but we 'll meet her back there as we never can anywhere else . I want to explore all those fields and lonely places anyhow . I have a conviction that there are scores of beautiful nooks there that have never really been SEEN although they may have been LOOKED at . We 'll make friends with wind and sky and sun , and bring home the spring in our hearts . '' `` It SOUNDS awfully nice , '' said Diana , with some inward distrust of Anne 's magic of words . `` But wo n't it be very damp in some places yet ? '' `` Oh , we 'll wear rubbers , '' was Anne 's concession to practicalities .
`` And I want you to XXXXX over early Saturday morning and help me prepare lunch .
