“When we were assigned to our rooms Miss Stacy had to leave us. Jane and I sat together and Jane was so composed that I envied her. No need of the multiplication table for good, steady, sensible Jane! I wondered if I looked as I felt and if they could hear my heart thumping clear across the room. Then a man came in and began distributing the English examination sheets. My hands grew cold then and my head fairly whirled around as I picked it up. Just one awful moment⁠—Diana, I felt exactly as I did four years ago when I asked Marilla if I might stay at Green Gables⁠—and then everything cleared up in my mind and my heart began beating again⁠—I forgot to say that it had stopped altogether!⁠—for I knew I could do something with that paper anyhow.
