Anne of Avonlea Chapter 12 - A Jonah Day

In which a restless dawn sets a discontented tone for Anne’s day at school, where mischief and mishaps conspire to test her patience and resolve; through a tumultuous episode involving firecrackers and a mischievous mouse, she wrestles with pride and discipline in her earnest desire to win the respect and affection of her pupils. Yet, with the blanket of a fresh snowfall and the quiet understanding of a friend, Anne finds a dawning hope that even the most trying days may be forgiven and forgotten.
