Someone had to say that to the old gossip[74 - [???s?p] – сплетня] lady,” said Matthew.

“Matthew Cuthbert, I am very surprised. I hope you don’t think we shouldn’t punish[75 - [?p?n??] – наказывать] the child.”

“Well, I think she should be punished a little, but not too much. Are you going to give her something to eat?” he asked.

“When did you hear of me not feeding people right? I’ll carry her the food, but she will stay in her room until she apologises[76 - [??p?l?d?a?z] – извиняться] to Mrs.

Without Anne, breakfast, lunch and dinner became very silent[77 - [?sa?l?nt] – тихий]. Marilla brought her food, but Anne almost didn’t touch it. Once Marilla went away and Metthew gathered all is courage and came to Anne.

“Anne,” he whispered[78 - [?w?sp?] – шептать], “how are you making it?”

“Pretty well,” she smiled sadly. “I imagine[79 - [??m?d??n] – воображать, представлять] things, that helps.”

Matthew gathered his courage[80 - [?k?r?d?] – храбрость, gather his courage – набрался храбрости] once again and said “Don’t you think it’s better apologise and forget about it?”

“Apologise to Mrs.

“Y—yes, apologise,” said Matthew.

“I think I can do that for you, Matthew. At first I was angry, very angry, but this morning it was over. I will tell Marilla that I want to apologise when she comes.”

Anne told Marilla and they both went to Mrs. Rachel. Anne stood on her knees and asked the old lady to forgive her. She spoke long and was very sincere[81 - [s?n?s??] – искренней].

Anne looked at three new dresses on the bed. Marilla made them herself; they were just plain[82 - [ple?n] – простой, без украшений] skirts with plain sleeves.

“I don’t want you to imagine it,” said Marilla, offended[83 - [??fend?d] – обиженный, оскорбленный]. “Oh, I see you don’t like the dresses! They are new and clean. Why don’t you like them?”
