Question: CHAPTER IX. 

A RACE ON THE ICE, AND WHAT FOLLOWED. 

After the events just narrated several days passed quietly enough at Putnam Hall. In the meantime the weather continued clear, and the boys took it upon themselves to clear off a part of the lake for skating. Then, one night came a strong wind, and the next morning they found a space of cleared ice nearly half a mile long. 

"Now for some fine skating!" exclaimed Tom, as he rushed back to the Hall after an inspection of the lake's smooth surface. "We can have all the racing we wish." 

"It's a pity Sam can't go out yet," returned Dick. Sam was back to the school, but his cold had not entirely left him. 

"Never mind; here are several new magazines he can read," returned Tom, who had been to town with Snuggers on an errand and had purchased them at the stationery store. 

"I would just as soon read now," said Sam. "The magazines look mighty interesting." 

Just then Fred Garrison came in, accompanied by George Granbury. They had been down to Cedarville to purchase some skates and a new pair of shoes for George. 

"Hullo, what do you think we saw in Cedarville!" cried Fred, as soon as he caught sight of the Rovers. 

"Lots of snow," suggested Tom dryly. 

"Yes--and more." 

"A mighty dull town," suggested Sam.

Question: Lisa never had the chance to know her father. He and her mother divorced when she was just a young child. Even though he didn't move far, he never came to visit his children. Lisa often wondered about her father. What did he look like and what was he doing? All she knew was his name: Jeff White. After Lisa grew up, she became a nurse at a hospital, where she would help provide medicine and comfort for patients in their final days. A few weeks ago, she received a new patient whose name was Jeff White. When Jeff came into his room, Lisa asked him if he had any children. Jeff told her that he had two daughters, Lisa and Elly. Lisa couldn't hold her tears back. She told him, "I am Lisa, your daughter." Jeff embraced her, saying that he was not a good father. And the daughter held his hand and kissed him.

Question: Chapter XXXIX 

Deals with Weddings 

Anne felt that life partook of the nature of an anticlimax during the first few weeks after her return to Green Gables. She missed the merry comradeship of Patty's Place. She had dreamed some brilliant dreams during the past winter and now they lay in the dust around her. In her present mood of self-disgust, she could not immediately begin dreaming again. And she discovered that, while solitude with dreams is glorious, solitude without them has few charms. 

She had not seen Roy again after their painful parting in the park pavilion; but Dorothy came to see her before she left Kingsport. 

"I'm awfully sorry you won't marry Roy," she said. "I did want you for a sister. But you are quite right. He would bore you to death. I love him, and he is a dear sweet boy, but really he isn't a bit interesting. He looks as if he ought to be, but he isn't." 

"This won't spoil OUR friendship, will it, Dorothy?" Anne had asked wistfully. 

"No, indeed. You're too good to lose. If I can't have you for a sister I mean to keep you as a chum anyway. And don't fret over Roy. He is feeling terribly just now--I have to listen to his outpourings every day--but he'll get over it. He always does." 

"Oh--ALWAYS?" said Anne with a slight change of voice. "So he has 'got over it' before?" 

"Dear me, yes," said Dorothy frankly. "Twice before. And he raved to me just the same both times. Not that the others actually refused him--they simply announced their engagements to some one else. Of course, when he met you he vowed to me that he had never really loved before--that the previous affairs had been merely boyish fancies. But I don't think you need worry."  1. Where was Anne missing?
2. what had happened to her dreams?
3. What relation is Dorothy to Anne's ex-fiance?
4. was Anne enjoying being alone?
5. What relationship might dorothy have had with Anne?
6. Was Anne concerned she might lose a freind?
7. Why did his sister thing Roy was wrong for Anne?
8. Is Roy currently happy?
9. Does his sister think his mood will last long?
10. Was he in love before?
11. what happened those times? Provide a numbered list of answers.
