noon
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 . `` At noon we went home for dinner and then back again for history in the afternoon . The history was a pretty hard paper and I got dreadfully mixed up in the dates . Still , I think I did fairly well today . But oh , Diana , tomorrow the geometry exam comes off and when I think of it it takes every bit of determination I possess to keep from opening my Euclid .
