His muffled howls were the last sounds Anne heard as she left Green Gables.
It rained heavily all the way to Bright River, to which station they had to go, since the branch line train from Carmody did not connect with the boat train.

Charlie and Gilbert were on the station platform when they reached it, and the train was whistling.

Anne had just time to get her ticket and trunk check, say a hurried farewell to Diana, and hasten on board.

She wished she were going back with Diana to Avonlea; she knew she was going to die of homesickness.

And oh, if only that dismal rain would stop pouring down as if the whole world were weeping over summer vanished and joys departed! Even Gilbert's presence brought her no comfort, for Charlie Sloane was there, too, and Sloanishness could be tolerated only in fine weather.
