One evening, Anne was at home doing her homework. Matthew was home, but Marilla went to town with the Barrys and Mrs. Lynde. Suddenly, Anne looked up and saw Diana standing at the door. She looked very worried.
“What’s wrong, Diana?” cried Anne.
“Oh, Anne, do come quick,” said Diana. “Minnie May is very sick. Father and Mother are away in town and there’s nobody to go for the doctor.”
Matthew got his cap and coat and went for the doctor. The two little girls ran to Diana’s house hand in hand. Minnie May was Diana’s three-year-old sister. Anne saw Minnie May and found she was very sick. “I must take action right away,” Anne thought. So she went to work immediately.
“First we must have lots of hot water. Put the fire on. I’m going to give her some . medicine.” Minnie May did not like the medicine, but Anne did not give up.
All night, Diana and Anne stayed with Minnie May. It was three o’clock when Matthew came with the doctor. But by then, Minnie May was sleeping. Anne told the doctor what she did. He was very impressed. Later on, he told Mr. and Mrs. Barry, “That little red-headed girl is very smart. She saved that baby’s life.”
The next day at dinner, Marilla had something important to tell Anne. “Mrs. Barry was here this afternoon, Anne. She says you saved Minnie May’s life, and she is happy for you to play with Diana again.”
That night, Mrs. Barry invited Anne for a lovely dinner. They had a nice time together.
