Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Seven

"Marxie, Marxie, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong?" Marilla called Marxie in a stiff voice, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense.At this time, Annie happened to come in from outside holding a bouquet of snow-white daffodils. For a long time afterward Anne hated daffodils and their scent. Marshall was leaning against the doorway of the balcony with a newspaper in his hand, with a gray face and something wrong with his expression.Seeing this, Anne shook off the bouquet, walked through the kitchen a few steps, and ran to Marcia at the same time as Marilla, but both of them were a step late, and Marcia had already collapsed on the threshold.

"It's dead!" Marilla wailed. "Annie, call Martin! Quick! Quick! He's in the warehouse." Martin the hired man had just returned from the post office, and he ran to Orchard Slope immediately after hearing what Anne said, and wrote a letter to the Barrys.It happened that Mrs. Linde was also here on business, so the three of them rushed to Green Gaybruzzi after hearing the news.When they entered the door, Annie and Marilla were desperately trying to rescue Marshall! Mrs. Linde gently pushed the two away, stepped forward to feel Marshall's pulse, and put her ear to Marshall's heart to listen. Then she raised her head sadly and looked at Anne and Marilla. Tears welled up in the anxious face.

"Marilla," whimpered Mrs. Lynde. "It's hopeless." "No, ma'am! It's impossible! How is it possible? Marshall..." Annie couldn't say that terrible sentence no matter what, her face was bloodless and frighteningly pale. "Poor! But it is so. Anne, look at Marshall's face. I've seen it so many times, and it's clear." Later, I heard from the doctor that when Marshall was dying, he probably had no pain. He seemed to have been stimulated and died.It turned out that the reason for Marshall's stimulation was the newspaper he held in his hand.The paper, which Martin had just picked up from the post office that morning, contained a message that the Abbey Bank was bankrupt.

News of Marshall's death spread quickly in Albany.Marshall's former friends and neighbors all came to Green Gaybruzzi to express their condolences, and Green Gaybruzzi was crowded with people all day long.People were running in and out, looking after Marilla and Anne, and arranging Marshall's funeral. Marshall Cuthbart, who was honest, honest and shy before his death, became the object of people's attention on this day for the first time in his life.Marshall was dressed in white and wore a white hat, and went to another world alone. Night fell quietly to Green Gaybruzzi, and the old house was also quiet.In the living room, Marshall Kathbart was lying in the spiritual ark, with a gentle smile on his gentle face.His gray hair fell down his face, and he looked as if he was dreaming of a dream and fell asleep forever.

Clusters of flowers are placed around the coffin.These flowers had been planted by Marshall's mother when she first got married. When Marshall saw them during his lifetime, he often recalled good memories.Because Marshall loved these flowers from the bottom of her heart, Anne picked them and solemnly placed them beside Marshall.It was the last thing Anne could do for Marshall.On Marilla's pale face, her parched eyes twinkled like burning from excessive sadness, but there were no tears in her eyes. Both the Barrys and Mrs. Lynde remained at Green Gybrutz that night.Diana ran to the east wing to have a look, and saw Anne standing by the window.

"Annie, may I sleep with you tonight?" Diana said softly. "Thank you, Diana." Anne turned her head and looked at Diana seriously. "I just want to be alone for a while and hope Diana understands me. "I'm not afraid. I haven't been alone for a moment since the misfortune happened. I'd love to feel it without moving, but I can't. One, I can't believe that Marshall is dead, and two. It is as though Marshall had passed away long ago. I have been tormented and tormented with an unbearable pain ever since." For Diana, Anne's temperament is really unpredictable.But Marilla, who was born with a strong self-control and usually kept her emotions secret, suddenly collapsed and fell into extreme sorrow.Compared to Anne's depression, who couldn't see a single tear, Diana felt that Marilla's emotion was more understandable.Diana had no choice but to leave Annie alone in the room, and left without worry.

Anne reckoned that if she were left alone, the tears might well be shed.Anne respected and loved Marshall so much.The kind and gracious Marshall, who had been walking with her yesterday evening, was lying peacefully in the dim room downstairs, asleep forever. But at first Anne couldn't shed her tears, even kneeling by the dim window, looking at the starry sky beyond the hill and praying, it didn't help.Instead of tears there were terrible pangs of heartache brought on by deep sorrow. Anne soon fell asleep unconsciously from the intense tension and exertion of the day. In the middle of the night, Annie woke up from her dream.It was pitch black and silent.After the misfortune of the day, grief came to Anne again at once.The smiling face of Marshall when he parted from Anne at the door that night before his death came to Anne's eyes again.She seemed to hear Marshall say again, "Our girl, Anne. You are my pride." Tears welled up in her eyes, and Anne immediately burst into tears of grief.

When Marilla heard the crying, she came in quietly, and comforted Anne, saying, "Well, well, Anne, you are a good boy, don't cry, if you cry again, Marshall will never come back. I am the same, although I know it in my heart, but I can't control it. Marshall is so kind and kind, and he is a rare good brother. Oh, but this is God's arrangement." "Marilla, just let me cry like this." Annie sobbed. "I feel better when I cry, stay with me for a while, you just hold me like this, I can't let Diana stay with me, her heart is so gentle and kind, I can't let her be sad too. It's the two of us Let's be together alone, this is the sorrow of the two of us.

Marilla, Marshall is gone, how can we bring him back to this world? " "Annie, I need you too, if you're not here, if you don't come back for a while, I really don't know what to do. Anne, you may think that I am always very strict, as if I never loved Anne like Marshall, but that is not the case.Now I can say it, let me tell you, I am a straightforward person, and I can say whatever I want.Annie, I love you, like my own flesh and blood, since you came to Green? I've been happy with you since the day Guy Bruce. " Two days later is the day of the funeral.Marshall Cuthbart's coffin was carried from the home.The ark bid farewell to the fields, orchards and trees that Marshall had planted before his death.

Soon, Yabanli resumed his normal life in the past.Green Gybrutz also calmed down as usual, and everything was moving in an orderly manner.Only Anne would think of Marshall no matter what she saw, and often shed tears of sadness alone. After experiencing the pain of losing a loved one, it took a long time for Anne to settle down and return to normalcy. It's just that Marshall is gone, and sometimes I still feel lonely.Anne smiled again as she saw the morning sun rise again over the tops of the fir-trees, and the pale peach-coloured buds in the flower-beds burst into bud.Anne couldn't help laughing out loud whenever Diana told her something funny.

In this beautiful world like flowers, love and friendship still touch Anne's heart.Life talks to Anne with various voices, attracting Anne. One evening, Anne, who came to the courtyard of the parsonage with Mrs. Alan, suddenly felt a little gloomy again. "Marshall is gone, but I am still so happy. For some reason, I always feel that this is a betrayal of Marshall. When I think of Marshall, I feel very lonely. Even so, I feel that life is still very beautiful. Happy. Today, Diana told me something funny and I couldn't help laughing. I thought, never laugh again, I don't think it's right to laugh..." "Didn't Marshall like Anne's laughter very much when he was alive? He wanted you to live happily and happily, didn't he?" Mrs. Alan urged earnestly. "Marshall has just gone to another world far away now. He still wants to hear Anne's silvery laughter. However, I understand your mood very well. Anyone will have this experience. The person I love is gone, the person who can share happiness with me is gone, but I am still so happy all day long, others will feel disgusted when I see it. I have regained my vitality, and I feel as if I have betrayed my relatives for some reason taste." "Today, I went to the cemetery. I planted a rosebush in front of Marshall's grave." Anne seemed to be talking to herself in a dream. "It was this white rose that Marshall's mother brought from Scotland a long time ago. Marshall loved the rose with its lovely flowers coming out of the thorns. I am so glad to plant one for him on his grave." Qiangwei. Let Marxie's favorite Qiangwei accompany him in front of the tomb, and he will feel very relieved under the nine springs. "It would be great if the kingdom of heaven also had shelter... Whenever summer comes, the flower spirit of Marshall's favorite little white rose will come to welcome us. If I don't go back, Marilla will be alone at home. At dusk, I will feel lonely of." "Anne would be more lonely if she went to college," said Mrs. Allan. Annie didn't answer, just said good-bye, and then walked slowly back to Green Gablebrush.At this time, Marilla was sitting alone on the stone steps in front of the door.Seeing this, Annie also sat down gently beside her.The door was open, and over the top was a big pink conch.On the smooth spiral surface of the conch, you can see traces of the seaside sunset. Anne put a light yellow honeysuckle on her head, and when she shook her head, she could smell a charming fragrance. "While you were out just now, Dr. Svensa came. He said that the ophthalmologist would be in town tomorrow. He suggested that I go to the ophthalmologist. I had to go tomorrow. I would be grateful if I could ask him for a pair of glasses. Are you all right to be home alone while I'm in town? I've begged Martin to come with me to town... You've got ironing and cakes to bake." "It doesn't matter, I'll let Diana come over to play. You can leave the housework to me, and you can go to see a doctor at ease. I will never burn it or add any medicine." "Back then you were always doing stupid things, and always getting into trouble. To be honest, I really thought you couldn't do anything. Remember that thing about dyeing your hair?" "Of course I remember, how can I forget it!" A smile appeared on Annie's face again, and she touched the two small thick braids unnaturally. "At that time, this red hair really troubled me for a long time. Now I can't help but laugh when I recall it. At that time, I always thought that red hair was a big problem. I was tortured by red hair and freckles. Bitter, the freckles are really gone now, and live up to everyone's expectations, and the hair has finally turned tawny, except for George Pai. "I met George yesterday, and she said my hair was getting redder, maybe because I was wearing black clothes, so it looked redder. Marilla, I've given up, George, you No matter how good you are with her, it's a waste of time." "George is still a Pai after all," said Marilla. "So it feels bad, and you can't do anything about them. What benefits these people can bring to society, what's the point of living in this world, it's really hard to understand." "Well, I'm going to Quinn next year, and Moody Spajohn and Charlie Sloane, I was told by Jenny and Ruby, who are both set to teach at the school. Jenny's in New Priscilla , Ruby seems to be in some school on the west side." "Did Gilbert also receive the notice?" "Yes." That was the answer. Marilla stayed there in a daze. "Gilbert is a fine young man. I met him at church last Sunday, and alas, he has grown into a tall man. Looks and figure just like his father when he was young. John Bly Stan was a great lad back then, he and I were on good terms, everyone said we were lovers." Annie immediately became interested, raised her head and asked. "Is it true? Marilla, what happened? Why are you alone now?" "Later I quarreled with him. When John came to admit his mistake, I didn't forgive him. At that time, I planned to forgive him, but I was very angry, very unhappy, and felt very awkward. I wanted to punish him first, but John Since then, I have never come to see me again. It is said that people in the Bryce family have strong self-esteem, and I have always felt guilty and regretful. Later, I found a chance and forgave him." "So, Marilla also had a romance." Anne said softly. "Yeah, I didn't see it. However, everyone has forgotten about the past between me and John, even myself. It was only when I met Gilbert by chance last week that I fell in love with the scene and aroused me again." Memories of the past."
