    Anne of Green Gables - Lucy Maud Montgomery

    Mrs. Rachel Lynde and Matthew

    Cuthbert Are Surprised

    Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived in a small village in the country. She liked to sit at her window and watch everybody pass by. She knew almost as much about their lives as they did. One afternoon in early June, she went to see her neighbor Marilla Cuthbert, who lived at Green Gables.

    Good evening, Rachel, Marilla said. How is your family?

    We’re all well, said Mrs. Lynde. And how is your brother, Matthew?

    Oh, he’s quite well, she said. He’s gone to Bright River. We’re getting a little boy from a children’s home in Hopeton and he’s coming on the train tonight.

    Mrs. Lynde was so surprised that she could not speak for a minute.

    We’ve been thinking about it for some time, said Marilla. We thought we’d get a boy. Matthew isn’t young, and he needs help on the farm. We’ll give him a good home and send him to school.

    Well, Marilla, Mrs. Lynde said. I think you’re doing a very foolish thing. You’re bringing a strange child into your home.

    Matthew wants to do it, Marilla said.

    Well, I hope it will turn out all right, said Mrs. Lynde.

    When Mrs. Lynde was walking home, she thought, I feel sorry for the child. Matthew and Marilla don’t know anything about children. I pity him; I really do.

    When Matthew Cuthbert reached the station, there was no sign of any train. The only person he could see was a young girl, who seemed to be waiting for someone. He went to speak to the station master.

    The five-thirty train has been in and left half an hour ago, the man said. But there was a passenger left for you, a little girl. She’s sitting out there.

    I’m not expecting a girl, said Matthew. I’m expecting a boy.

    There must be a mistake, the station master said. Mrs. Spencer said that you and your sister were adopting that girl from a children’s home.

    Matthew decided to go and speak to the girl. When he walked up to her, she said, Are you Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables? I’m very glad to see you. I was beginning to think you weren’t coming for me.

    Matthew didn’t want to say he had been expecting a boy, so he said, I’m sorry I was late. Come with me. The horse is outside. Give me your bag.

    Oh, I can carry it, the child said. It’s got everything I own in it, but it isn’t heavy.

    On the journey home, the girl talked all the time. Matthew, much to his own surprise, was enjoying himself. He did not usually like to be with women. But this child pleased him.

    I hope I’m not talking too much, she said.

    Oh, you can talk as much as you like, he told her.

    "Oh, I’m so glad. I know you and I are going to be
