Anne recieved reply to both letters the next week. She read Katherine's first
"Anne,
Things are going well enough here. The board hired Amy Pringle as the new English teacher. Believe it or not, the girls who were your students last year are giving HER the cold shoulder. You see what following you have? Your book came into our local bookstore a few weeks ago, it flew off the shelves. All the Pringles were so proud of you.
Yes, I have softened up. The Pringles are all so surprised. I have been invited to more parties. You were right, I'm much happier.
Katherine"
Anne re-folded Katherine's letter and opened Gilbert's.
My Dearest Carrots,
School is going well. I miss you so much too. I was glad to recieve your letter.
I recieved a letter from Miss Stacey too, it said pretty much the same thing.
I hope you are keeping up with your writing. You're very talented and deserve the best.
Sadly, I must get back to studying. I have a big test tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
Always and Forever Yours,
Gilbert."
Anne re-read the letter again. She decided that she was going to 'accidentally' run into him. So she packed her bags, and headed downstairs to ask Marilla for a ride to the train station.
