adventures as she grows up to be a young lady,

like to say something?
Nancy:Yes,Mr Clark.I'm halfway through the story.I think Matthew and
Marilla are very interesting(
(interest)characters.They are quiet,a bit timid,
and kind-hearted.Here I wrote down two sentences:
"Matthew,dressed up (dress up)with a white collar and driving in a buggy,
was something that didn't happen often."I also like the vivid description of
Marilla's hair,and I paraphrased it a bit:twisted up(twist up)in a hard little
knot behind with two hairpins stuck(stick)aggressively through it,
Marilla's hair showed some gray streaks..."
