b"Tonight, we\\u2019ll read the twelfth chapter to \\u201cAnne of Green Gables\\u201d the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled \\u201cA Solemn Vow and Promise\\u201d.\\n\\nIn the last episode, titled \\u201cAnne\\u2019s Impressions of Sunday-School\\u201d, Marilla shows Anne the new dresses she has made for her, all of which are embarrassingly unfashionable. The next day, Anne goes to church and Sunday school alone, wearing one of her new ugly dresses. On the way, she picks a bunch of flowers and decorates her otherwise plain hat with them, an eccentric adornment meant to make up for the dress, but that causes other churchgoers to scoff.\\n\\nAfter church, Anne reports to Marilla that the service did not impress her. She says that the whole experience was quite unimaginative. Anne was able to survive the boring morning only by daydreaming. Marilla scolds Anne for her inattention at church but inwardly agrees with her. Although she never articulates her own criticisms of the minister and the Sunday school teacher, she, like Anne, has always felt that the church service is rather uninspiring.\\n\\n\\u2014 read by 'N' \\u2014\\nSign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to\\xa0snoozecast.com/plus!\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
