"You know," Anne started to say as they were walking back towards Green Gables breaking a surreal silence. "I think its time for a little pay back for Diana."
Gilbert chuckled "What do you have in mind?" he asked.
"I'm not going to tell her," Anne explained, "You can tell some of the guys and through gossip it will get back to Fred and Diana. I'll feed it through a couple of the gals."
"You are a character Anne Shirley," Gilbert observed, "Lets stop talking about your scemes for a while."
After Gilbert dropped Anne off at Green Gables, Anne stood on the veranda looking at him dreamily until he went out of sight, then she went inside, reality being far away. Katherine was curious about why Anne was so dreamy as they were getting ready to go to the bonfire,
"Anne, you seem different somehow," Katherine commented.
"My romantic mind is full at the moment Katherine, I just had a wonderful talk with Gilbert," Anne remarked.
"I see," Katherine replied simply.
"Plus," Anne added, "I'm engaged."
"To Gilbert?" Katherine asked.
"To Gilbert, and I have to make sure not to tell Diana." Anne replied
"Why won't you tell Diana?" Katherine inquired.
"I didnt hear about her engagement to Fred from her, she isnt going to hear about my engagement from me," Anne told Katherine, "And if you'll excuse me Katherine, I am going to go tell Marilla."
Anne had to wait until Rachel Lynde was out of the room before telling Marilla, because Rachel was known as a very big gossip. Rachel wasn't going anywhere, so Anne asked Marilla out to the veranda to tell her. After she did, Marilla was speechless.
"You promise not to tell Rachel quite yet?" Anne asked.
"Of course, Rachel is too gossipy for her own good," Marilla replied, "Now get Katherine and go to that bonfire."
"I'm just sorry Gilbert won't be there," Anne said sadly, "He isn't quite his old self yet."
"Go on," Marilla said again.
"That was a wonderful party," Katherine said as they walked up to Green Gables after the bonnfire.
"You met so many people, they really seemed to like you," Anne commented, "and you were the nice person we both know you are."
Gilbert chuckled "What do you have in mind?" he asked.
