`` Anne , you are dismissed . '' But her eyes did not meet Anne 's eyes as she said it , for Miss Mary 's head was better , and she was beginning to wonder if she should not have investigated before she condemned Anne so harshly . Twenty-four heads turned towards the window as Anne and Judy climbed into the fascinating trap with the fawn cloth cushions , and twenty-four pairs of lungs breathed sighs of envy , as Judy picked up the reins , and the two little girls drove away together in the sunshine . No one ever knew how Judy managed to get the Judge 's consent , but on Wednesday , when the children on their way home from school called at the post-office for the mail , they found small square envelopes addressed to themselves , and each envelope contained a card , and on the card was written an invitation to every child to be present at a lawn party to be given at Judge Jameson 's on the following Saturday , from one until five o'clock . But this was not all . For during the evening , rumors , started by the wily Launcelot , leaked out , that never in the history of Fairfax had there been such a party as the one to be given by Judge Jameson in honor of his grand-daughter , Judith , and her friend , Anne Batcheller . `` For it is as much Anne 's party as Judy 's , '' Launcelot stated , as one having authority .
