After so much study and effort, Anne won a scholarship to Redmond College. Thus, she would go to university right after the holidays. However, Marilla receives a worrying diagnosis from the ophthalmologist. She discovers that she cannot strain her eyes or cry frequently, as it is possible she could go blind.
With this frustrating news, Marilla decides to sell the Green Gables property, since it would not be possible to manage the tasks there alone.
