Chapter four
A new friend
Marilla had made three new dresses for Anne. They were all made alike, with plain skirts and plain, tight sleeves. Anne didn't say anything about them. She dreamed about dresses with puffed sleeves. Anne stared Sunday school. Anne went to school wearing the black and white dress. Her hat was just a plain as the dress. She found a roadside patch of buttercups and wild roses. She made a wreath for her and put it on.
The teacher at school was very strict. Every other girls had puffed sleeves.
Marilla and Anne went over to the Barry's farm, Orchard Slope. Anne and Diana (Barry's daughter) became friends, best friend. The girls went out in the Barry's garden. They built a playhouse together, they read books together.
While Matthew came at home, he brought Anne a chocolate. Anne was so excited and she wanted to share her chocolate with Diana. She said it will taste even better if she share it.
