Morning at Green Gables
Anne wakes to the beauty of Green Gables in the June morning, her spirits lifted by the cherry tree outside her window and the surrounding landscape. She talks animatedly to Marilla about her love for the place, her imagination, and her hopes. Marilla, though trying to remain stern, is increasingly intrigued by the unusual child. Anne offers to help with chores, showing her willingness to be useful. This chapter contrasts Anne's resilient optimism with the uncertainty of her future.
