Marilla pessimistically expected more trouble since Anne had
again begun to go to school. But none developed. Perhaps Anne
caught something of the "model" spirit from Minnie Andrews; at
least she got on very well with Mr. Phillips thenceforth. She
flung herself into her studies heart and soul, determined not to

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Hamlet by William Shakespeare: In going backe to Schoole in Wittenberg,

I prythee stay with vs, go not to Wittenberg
Ham. I shall in all my best

Be as our selfe in Denmarke. Madam come,
Hamlet |

A pamphlet in the look
But not the matter.
I own in disarray:
As to the flowers of May
