And Mrs.Barry asked me if I took tea and said 'Pa, why don't you pass the biscuits to Anne ?' It must be lovely to be grown up, Marilla, when just being treated as if you were is so nice." "I don't know about that," said Marilla, with a brief sigh.
"Well, anyway, when I am grown up," said Anne decidedly, "I'm always going to talk to little girls as if they were too, and I'll never laugh when they use big words.

I know from sorrowful experience how that hurts one's feelings.

After tea Diana and I made taffy.

The taffy wasn't very good, I suppose because neither Diana nor I had ever made any before.
Diana left me to stir it while she buttered the plates and I forgot and let it burn; and then when we set it out on the platform to cool the cat walked over one plate and that had to be thrown away.

But the making of it was splendid fun.
