Tonight, we’ll read the 23rd chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “Anne Comes to Grief in an Affair of Honor”
In the previous chapter, Anne was thrilled to receive her first formal invitation to tea, which she considered a grand and sophisticated event. Despite her excitement, the outing didn’t go entirely as planned—she wore a dress she later realized was less than ideal, and a misunderstanding over the tea set left her mortified. However, Anne’s charm and quick wit helped her recover, and she left the gathering with a renewed sense of belonging in Avonlea. Now, in this chapter, we’ll see Anne’s unyielding sense of pride and imagination lead her into yet another scrape, one that tests her resolve and teaches her an unexpected lesson about honor.
