“What a temper[69 - [?temp?] – нрав, характер]!” said Mrs. Rachel surprised.
Marilla told Anne to come to her room. Anne burst into tears, rushed upstairs and shut the door.
“Well, I advise[70 - [?d?va?z] – советовать] you to talk to that girl. And when I say ‘talk’, I mean a birch twig[71 - [b??t? tw??] – березовый прут] – a very effective language for a child like that,” said Mrs. Rachel and went away.
Mrs. Cuthbert came upstairs and found Anne in her bed crying.
“Anne, I think you shouldn’t have behaved[72 - [b??he?v] – вести себя] like that,” said Marilla.
“She shouldn’t have called me red haired and ugly.”
“You always say bad things about your red hair yourself.”
“There’s a difference when I say it and when other people say it about me,” said Anne.
“I don’t think it was the right thing for Mrs. Rachel to say for you, but now she has a wonderful story about you to tell. You must go to her and say that you are sorry.”
“No. I will never do that.”
“Yes, you will. You will stay in this room until you apologise[73 - [??p?l?d?a?z] – извиняться] for your behaviour to Mrs. Rachel.”
“I will stay here forever then. How can I tell I’m sorry for my words, if I’m not sorry at all!”
“You said you would be a nice girl, if we let you stay at Avonlea,” said Marilla and left the room. She was worried about this situation, but still, when she remembered the face of Mrs. Rachel she couldn’t stop smiling.

Chapter 10
Marilla said nothing to Matthew, but when the next morning Anne wasn’t at the table she had to explain why.
“It’s a good thing Rachel got those words. 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. Rachel.”
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. Rachel?”
“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]. Mrs. Rachel said she forgave her.

“Well, how do you like them?” asked Marilla.
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’ll imagine that I like them,” said Anne.
“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?”
