A Good Imagination Gone Wrong

‘If you’ve fi nished your lessons, Anne, I want you to run over and ask Mrs. Barry if she’ll lend me Diana’s apron pattern.’

‘Oh—it’s—it’s too dark,’ cried Anne.

‘Too dark? Why, it’s only twilight. And goodness knows you’ve gone over often enough after dark.’

‘I’ll go over early in the morning,’ said Anne eagerly. ‘I’ll get up at sunrise and go over, Marilla.’

‘What has got into your head now, Anne Shirley? I want that pattern to cut out your new apron this evening. Go at once and be smart too.’

‘I’ll have to go around by the road, then,’ said Anne, taking up her hat reluctantly.

‘Go by the road and waste half an hour! Why on earth would you do that?’

‘I can’t go through the Haunted Wood, Marilla,’ cried Anne desperately.

Marilla stared.

‘The Haunted Wood! Are you crazy? What in the name of heaven is the Haunted Wood?’

‘The spruce wood over the brook,’ said Anne in a whisper.

‘Fiddlesticks! There is no such thing as a haunted wood anywhere. Who has been telling you such stu�?’

‘Nobody,’ confessed Anne. ‘Diana and I just imagined the wood was haunted. All the places around here are so—so—commonplace. We just thought this up for our own amusement. We began it in April. A haunted wood is so very romantic, Marilla. We chose the spruce grove because it’s so gloomy. Oh, we have imagined the most harrowing things. There’s a white lady walks along the brook just about this time of the night and wrings her hands and utters wailing cries. She appears when there is to be a death in the family. And the ghost of a little murdered child haunts the corner up by Idlewild; it creeps up behind you and lays its cold fingers on your hand—so. Oh, Marilla, it gives me a shudder to think of it. And there’s a headless man stalks up and down the path and skeletons glower at you between the boughs. Oh, Marilla, I wouldn’t go through the Haunted Wood after dark now for anything. I’d be sure that white things would reach out from behind the trees and grab me.’

‘Did ever anyone hear the like!’ cried Marilla, who had listened in dumb amazement. ‘Anne Shirley, do you mean to tell me you believe all that wicked nonsense of your own imagination?’

‘Not believe exactly,’ faltered Anne. ‘At least, I don’t believe it in daylight. But after dark, Marilla, it’s di�erent. That is when ghosts walk.’

‘There are no such things as ghosts, Anne.’

‘Oh, but there are, Marilla,’ cried Anne eagerly. ‘I know people who have seen them. And they are respectable people. Charlie Sloane says that his grandmother saw his grandfather driving home the cows one night after he’d been buried for a year. You know Charlie Sloane’s grandmother wouldn’t tell a story for anything. She’s a very religious woman. And Mrs. Thomas’s father was pursued home one night by a lamb of fire with its head cut o� hanging by a strip of skin. He said he knew it was the spirit of his brother and that it was a warning he would die within nine days. He didn’t, but he died two years after, so you see it was really true. And Ruby Gillis says—’

‘Anne Shirley,’ interrupted Marilla firmly, ‘I never want to hear you talking in this fashion again. I’ve had my doubts about that imagination of yours right along, and if this is going to be the outcome of it, I won’t tolerate any such doings. You’ll go right over to Barry’s, and you’ll go through that spruce grove, just for a lesson and a warning to you. And never let me hear a word out of your head about haunted woods again.’

Anne might plead and cry as she liked—and did, for her terror was very real. Her imagination had run away with her and she held the spruce grove in mortal dread after nightfall. But Marilla was inexorable. She marched the shrinking ghost-seer down to the spring and ordered her to proceed straightaway over the bridge and into the dusky retreats of wailing ladies and headless spectres beyond.

‘Oh, Marilla, how can you be so cruel?’ sobbed Anne. ‘What would you feel like if a white thing did snatch me up and carry me o�?’

‘I’ll risk it,’ said Marilla unfeelingly. ‘You know I always mean what I say. I’ll cure you of imagining ghosts into places. March, now.’

Anne marched. That is, she stumbled over the bridge and went shuddering up the horrible dim path beyond. Anne never forgot that walk. Bitterly did she repent the license she had given to her imagination. The goblins of her fancy lurked in every shadow about her, reaching out their cold, fl eshless hands to grasp the terrifi ed small girl who had called them into being. A white strip of birch bark blowing up from the hollow over the brown fl oor of the grove made her heart stand still. The long-drawn wail of two old boughs rubbing against each other brought out the perspiration in beads on her forehead. The swoop of bats in the darkness over her was as the wings of unearthly creatures. When she reached Mr. William Bell’s fi eld she fl ed across it as if pursued by an army of white things, and arrived at the Barry kitchen door so out of breath that she could hardly gasp out her request for the apron pattern. Diana was away so that she had no excuse to linger. The dreadful return journey had to be faced. Anne went back over it with shut eyes, preferring to take the risk of dashing her brains out among the boughs to that of seeing a white thing. When she fi nally stumbled over the log bridge she drew one long shivering breath of relief.

‘Well, so nothing caught you?’ said Marilla unsympathetically.

‘Oh, Mar—Marilla,’ chattered Anne, ‘I’ll b-b-be contt-tented with c-c-commonplace places after this.’
