Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set (Anne of Green Gables, #1-8)

by L.M. Montgomery

Gilbert reached across the aisle, picked up the end of Anne's long red braid, held it out at arm's length and said in a piercing whisper: "Carrots! Carrots!" Then Anne looked at him with a vengeance! She did more than look. She sprang to her feet, her bright fancies fallen into cureless ruin. She flashed one indignant glance at Gilbert from eyes whose angry sparkle was swiftly quenched in equally angry tears. "You mean, hateful boy!" she exclaimed passionately. "How dare you!" And then—thwack! Anne had brought her slate down on Gilbert's head and cracked it—slate not head—clear across.

I love how L.M.M. made it clear that Anne cracked her slate! Nor Gibert's head 🤣😭
