Anne of Green Gables

'I suppose you are Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?' she said in a peculiarly clear, sweet voice. 'I'm very glad to see you. I was beginning to be afraid you weren't coming for me and I was imagining all the things that might have happened to prevent you. I had made up my mind that if you didn't come for me tonight I'd go down the track to that big wild cherry-tree at the bend, and climb up into it to stay all night.'
