`` You ought n't to feel half as badly as I do , '' said Anne , hunting vainly for a dry spot on her handkerchief . `` You 'll be back again next winter , but I suppose I 've left the dear old school forever -- if I have good luck , that is . '' `` It wo n't be a bit the same . Miss Stacy wo n't be there , nor you nor Jane nor Ruby probably . I shall have to sit all alone , for I could n't bear to have another deskmate after you . Oh , we have had jolly times , have n't we , Anne ? It 's dreadful to think they 're all over . '' Two big tears rolled down by Diana 's nose . `` If you would stop crying I could , '' said Anne imploringly . `` Just as soon as I put away my hanky I see you brimming up and that starts me off again . As Mrs. Lynde says , ` If you ca n't be cheerful , be as cheerful as you can . ' After all , I dare say I 'll be back next year . This is one of the times I KNOW I 'm not going to pass . They 're getting alarmingly frequent . '' `` Why , you came out splendidly in the exams Miss Stacy gave . '' `` Yes , but those exams did n't make me nervous . When I think of the real thing you ca n't imagine what a horrid cold fluttery feeling comes round my heart . And then my number is thirteen and Josie Pye says it 's so unlucky . I am NOT superstitious and I know it can make no difference . But still I wish it was n't thirteen . ''
`` I do wish I was going in with you , '' XXXXX Diana .
