* Miranda and Joe's wedding. Miranda's father, Mr. Pryor [=AKA=] Whiskers-On-The-Moon, doesn't want Miranda to marry Joe because Joe's a soldier and Whiskers is a pacifist, so Rilla organises their wedding at Ingleside. The wedding is eventful; during the ceremony Miranda's dog has a fit, and at the reception Joe's mother sits on a pie!

* In Chapter 15 Marilla finds [[DramaQueen Anne]] bawling her heart out one evening.

-->Oh, I put that in. It was as easy as wink—and of course my experience in our old Story Club helped me. You know the scene where Averil makes the cake? Well, I just stated that she used the Rollings Reliable in it, and that was why it turned out so well; and then, in the last paragraph, where Percival clasps Averil in his arms and says, ‘Sweetheart, the beautiful coming years will bring us the fulfilment of our home of dreams,’ I added, ‘in which we will never use any baking powder except Rollings Reliable.’

* Anne and Gilbert come to an agreement never to speak BabyTalk to their children, only for Anne to instantly contradict herself when Jem is born. Her baby talk is written phonetically in the narrative.

* Anne is furious at the nurse who tells her Jem's hair will be red.

* Faith goes to the house of Norman Douglas, an atheist who hasn't been to church in ten years, to demand that he join the church so that her father's salary can get paid (they had just lost an important sponser). He turns her away and accuses her of being "put up" to it. Faith leaves the house crying... until she realises that she's very angry, and she goes back to give him a piece of her mind. The resulting speech is both a CMOA and a CMOF, and actually convinced Norman to begin sponsoring the church again! (He himself finds it ActuallyPrettyFunny).

* Anne and her friends acting out "Art/TheLadyOfShalottWaterhouse". It all goes well until the boat sinks...

** and Anne refuses to pray at first because God made her hair red ''on purpose''

--> "I have come back to tell you exactly what I think of you," said Faith in clear, ringing tones, "I am not afraid of you. You are a rude, unjust, tyrannical, disagreeable old man. Susan says you are sure to go to hell, and I was sorry for you, but I am not now. Your wife never got a hat for ten years - no wonder she died. I am going to make faces at you whenever I see you after this. Every time I am behind you you will know what is happening. Father has a picture of the devil in a book in his study, and I mean to go home and write your name under it. You are an old vampire and I hope you'll have the Scotch fiddle (FYI: Scotch fiddle=itchy skin from subdermal crabs)!"

-->""What would you think, Dr. Carter, of a man who makes his family live on fruit and eggs...nothing but fruit and eggs...just for a fad?"

-->""Have you ever wondered, Dr. Carter, how awful it must be to live with a man who thinks nothing...nothing—of picking up the roast, if it isn't perfectly done, and hurling it at the maid?"

** Mrs. Taylor then tries to defend her husband's honour by mentioning how he's very good at crocheting. This proves to be the last straw for Mr. Taylor, who pushes his chair back so violently that it knocks over and breaks a hideous old vase that the rest of the family hated.

* Anne goes to the Taylor family's house for dinner, but Cyrus Taylor is having one of his infamous sulky fits and refuses to speak, which makes everyone too nervous to enjoy themselves. Anne, who decides to trick him into speaking, asks the visiting Dr. Carter "Perhaps you would be surprised to hear, Dr. Carter, that Mr. Taylor went deaf very suddenly last week?", noting to herself that [[ExactWords she hadn't actually said Mr. Taylor had gone deaf]]. Mr. Taylor's children decide to play along, resulting in them telling ridiculous falsehoods about their father without actually saying he'd done those things, all so they can get back at him for his sulking.

-->""What would you think of a man who would go to a funeral...his father's funeral...in overalls?"
