Mrs. Morgan is a famous writer that Anne greatly admires. She is related to Priscilla Grant, who offers to bring her to Green Gables for tea. Anne's elaborately planned event implodes when they don't show up, but Priscilla brings Mrs. Morgan later in the summer for a surprise tea. Despite Anne's lack of preparation, the meal goes better than Anne could have hoped. Mrs. Morgan is gray-haired and stout, which confuses Anne, who conflates virtues: she thinks because Mrs. Morgan is clever and successful, she should also be beautiful. The facts of Mrs. Morgan's appearance forces Anne to re-evaluate her idealistic theories.
