In more detail...
Anne wakes up in the morning to find herself in the bright and beautiful world of Green Gables. Confused at first, she soon remembers that she may not be able to stay because the Cuthberts wanted a boy. Despite this, she is taken by the beauty of the landscape - the blossoming cherry tree, orchards, lilac trees, and distant sea spark her imagination. Marilla approaches her with a matter-of-fact attitude, instructing Anne to get ready. Anne's talkative and imaginative nature contrasts with Marilla's practicality, causing some tension. Anne helps with the dishes, struggling to conform to Marilla's standards, and then is warned not to get too attached to Green Gables as she might not stay. Matthew silently shows his wish to keep Anne, contrasting with Marilla's more vocal doubts. The chapter ends with Marilla and Anne preparing to meet Mrs. Spencer to discuss Anne's fate.
