It
s
easy
for
you
because
you
have
an
imagination
,
retorted
Diana
,
but
what
would
you
do
if
you
had
been
born
without
one
?
I
suppose
you
have
your
composition
all
done
?
Anne
nodded
,
trying
hard
not
to
look
virtuously
complacent
and
failing
miserably
.
I
wrote
it
last
Monday
evening
.
It
s
called
The
Jealous
Rival
;
or
In
Death
Not
Divided
.
I
read
it
to
Marilla
and
she
said
it
was
stuff
and
nonsense
.
Then
I
read
it
to
Matthew
and
he
said
it
was
fine
.
That
is
the
kind
of
critic
I
like
.
It
s
a
sad
,
sweet
story
.
I
just
cried
like
a
child
while
I
was
writing
it
.

It
s
about
two
beautiful
maidens
called
Cordelia
Montmorency
and
Geraldine
Seymour
who
lived
in
the
same
village
and
were
devotedly
attached
to
each
other
.
Cordelia
was
a
regal
brunette
with
a
coronet
of
midnight
hair
and
duskly
flashing
eyes
.
Geraldine
was
a
queenly
blonde
with
hair
like
spun
gold
and
velvety
purple
eyes
.
I
never
saw
anybody
with
purple
eyes
,
said
Diana
dubiously
.
Neither
did
I
.
I
just
imagined
them
.
I
wanted
something
out
of
the
common
.
Geraldine
had
an
alabaster
brow
too
.
I
ve
found
out
what
an
alabaster
brow
is
.
That
is
one
of
the
advantages
of
being
thirteen
.
You
know
so
much
more
than
you
did
when
you
were
only
twelve
.
Well
,
what
became
of
Cordelia
and
Geraldine
?
asked
Diana
,
who
was
beginning
to
feel
rather
interested
in
their
fate
.

They
grew
in
beauty
side
by
side
until
they
were
sixteen
.
Then
Bertram
DeVere
came
to
their
native
village
and
fell
in
love
with
the
fair
Geraldine
.
He
saved
her
life
when
her
horse
ran
away
with
her
in
a
carriage
,
and
she
fainted
in
his
arms
and
he
carried
her
home
three
miles
;
because
,
you
understand
,
the
carriage
was
all
smashed
up
.
I
found
it
rather
hard
to
imagine
the
proposal
because
I
had
no
experience
to
go
by
.
I
asked
Ruby
Gillis
if
she
knew
anything
about
how
men
proposed
because
I
thought
she
d
likely
be
an
authority
on
the
subject
,
having
so
many
sisters
married
.
Ruby
told
me
she
was
hid
in
the
hall
pantry
when
Malcolm
Andres
proposed
to
her
sister
Susan
.
She
said
Malcolm
told
Susan
that
his
dad
had
given
him
the
farm
in
his
own
name
and
then
said
,
What
do
you
say
,
darling
pet
,
if
we
get
hitched
this
fall
?
And
Susan
said
,
Yes
no
I
don
t
know
let
me
see
and
there
they
were
,
engaged
as
quick
as
that
.
But
I
didn
t
think
that
sort
of
a
proposal
was
a
very
romantic
one
,
so
in
the
end
I
had
to
imagine
it
out
as
well
as
I
could
.
I
made
it
very
flowery
and
poetical
and
Bertram
went
on
his
knees
,
although
Ruby
Gillis
says
it
isn
t
done
nowadays
.
Geraldine
accepted
him
in
a
speech
a
page
long
.
I
can
tell
you
I
took
a
lot
of
trouble
with
that
speech
.
I
rewrote
it
five
times
and
I
look
upon
it
as
my
masterpiece
.
Bertram
gave
her
a
diamond
ring
and
a
ruby
necklace
and
told
her
they
would
go
to
Europe
for
a
wedding
tour
,
for
he
was
immensely
wealthy
.
But
then
,
alas
,
shadows
began
to
darken
over
their
path
.
Cordelia
was
secretly
in
love
with
Bertram
herself
and
when
Geraldine
told
her
about
the
engagement
she
was
simply
furious
,
especially
when
she
saw
the
necklace
and
the
diamond
ring
.
All
her
affection
for
Geraldine
turned
to
bitter
hate
and
she
vowed
that
she
should
never
marry
Bertram
.
But
she
pretended
to
be
Geraldine
s
friend
the
same
as
ever
.
One
evening
they
were
standing
on
the
bridge
over
a
rushing
turbulent
stream
and
Cordelia
,
thinking
they
were
alone
,
pushed
Geraldine
over
the
brink
with
a
wild
,
mocking
,
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
.
But
Bertram
saw
it
all
and
he
at
once
plunged
into
the
current
,
exclaiming
,
I
will
save
thee
,
my
peerless
Geraldine
.
But
alas
,
he
had
forgotten
he
couldn
t
swim
,
and
they
were
both
drowned
,
clasped
in
each
other
s
arms
.
Their
bodies
were
washed
ashore
soon
afterwards
.
They
were
buried
in
the
one
grave
and
their
funeral
was
most
imposing
,
Diana
.
It
s
so
much
more
romantic
to
end
a
story
up
with
a
funeral
than
a
wedding
.
As
for
Cordelia
,
she
went
insane
with
remorse
and
was
shut
up
in
a
lunatic
asylum
.
I
thought
that
was
a
poetical
retribution
for
her
crime
.
