In Chapter 2 of Anne of the Island, "Garlands of Autumn" we find Anne in the last week of preparations to leave Avonlea for Redmond College. The chapter opens with a farewell party thrown by the Avonlea Village Improvement Society (A.V.I.S.) for Anne and Gilbert Blythe. Amidst the gathering of their "old crowd" of friends, including Diana Barry, Ruby Gillis, and Charlie Sloane, Anne navigates the bittersweet nature of her impending departure and her evolving feelings for Gilbert. She grapples with anxieties fueled by well-meaning but disheartening remarks from townswomen about her pursuing a B.A. at Redmond, which leaves her feeling "disgruntled" and questioning her path. But all she needs to turn her spirits around is an autumn walk with Gilbert through the Haunted Wood, where a surprise awaits her.
