Despite trying to be neutral and having no preferences among her students, Anne is very impressed by little Paul Irving. The child is brilliant and has a great imagination.

Meanwhile, Davy and Dora arrive at Green Gables, two eight-year-old twins who have been orphaned. And Marilla adopts them. Although Anne knows how to deal with children, Davy's personality will test her patience.
