The child was listening carefully. Suddenly she put her head in her hands and began to cry.
"You - you don't want me!" she sobbed. "Oh - oh! You don't want me because I'm not a boy!"
"Now, now, don't cry," said Marilla kindly.
"Don't you understand? Oh! This is the worst thing that's happened to me in all my life!"
"Well, you can stay here, just for tonight," said Marilla. "Now, what's your name?"
The child stopped crying. "Will you please call me Cordelia?" she asked.
"Call you Cordelia? Is that your name?"
