Anne Says Her Prayers

Marilla instructs Anne to say her prayers before bed. Anne reveals she has never been taught to pray and offers a unique, imaginative prayer thanking God for the 'White Way of Delight' and the 'Lake of Shining Waters' and asking to stay at Green Gables. Marilla is both shocked and amused, realizing the extent of Anne's spiritual ignorance and her unique perspective. She resolves to begin Anne's religious education immediately.
