Marilla decides to keep Anne at Green Gables from "summary" of Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery,Higher Read
Marilla Cuthbert stood in the doorway of Green Gables, her stern expression softening as she looked down at the red-haired orphan girl standing before her. Anne Shirley, with her vivid imagination and spirited personality, had arrived at the Cuthbert's farm by mistake, but she had quickly wormed her way into Marilla's heart.
Despite her initial reservations about taking in an orphan, Marilla had found herself drawn to Anne's charming ways and infectious enthusiasm. Over the days and weeks that followed, Anne had become like a ray of sunshine in the Cuthbert household, brightening up their lives with her unique perspective and endless chatter.
As Marilla watched Anne playing in the garden, her heart swelled with a mixture of affection and concern. She knew that Anne had faced a difficult life before coming to Green Gables, and she worried about the challenges that lay ahead for the young girl. But she also couldn't deny the joy and energy that Anne brought into their quiet home.
One day, as she watched Anne reciting poetry in the orchard, Marilla made a decision that would change both of their lives forever. She realized that Anne belonged at Green Gables, that the farm was her true home. Despite the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead, Marilla knew in her heart that she couldn't bear to part with Anne.
And so, with a firm resolve, Marilla approached Anne and told her that she could stay at Green Gables for good. The joy and gratitude that shone in Anne's eyes at that moment confirmed to Marilla that she had made the right choice. From that day on, Anne became a permanent member of the Cuthbert family, bringing light and laughter into their lives in a way that Marilla could never have imagined.
As they sat down to supper that evening, Marilla looked across the table at Anne, her heart full to bursting with love and contentment. She knew that there would be challenges and struggles ahead, but she also knew that together, they could face anything that came their way. And as she listened to Anne's lively chatter and laughter, Marilla knew that she had made the best decision of her life in deciding to keep Anne at Green Gables.
