48. Bölüm: Anne, Matthew'un defininin ardından vicdan azabıyla boğuşurken Marilla, Gilbert'in babasıyla olan kayıp aşkını düşünür.

48

The funeral ends with Matthew's burial. Anne plants Matthew's favourite flowers right beside his tombstone. As life moves on, Anne feels guilty that she can still have fun and laugh despite Matthew's death; this holds her back but she learns to accept it. Marilla talks about Gilbert, how his looks remind her of his father, John, who had once been in love with Marilla. Marilla tells Anne how this situation was similar to Anne's and Gilbert's: after a quarrel, Marilla was unable to forgive John, and this broke the two lovers apart. John never came back.
