what happened to Anne that involves a ridgepole

Josie Pye dared Anne Shirley to walk the ridge-pole of Mrs. Barry's roof. Anne bequeaths her pearl bead ring to Diana should she perish in defense of her honor. Slipping off the roof into the Virginia creeper beneath, the pale-faced Anne gives the girls a terrible fright. Marilla spots Mr. Barry carrying Anne across the bridge to Green Gables: "In the sudden stab of fear that pierced to her very heart she realized what Anne had come to mean to her… However, now she knew as she hurried wildly down the slope that Anne was dearer to her than anything on earth." Anne, having broken her ankle, reassures Marilla that she might have broken her neck. Homebound, Anne's much anticipated introduction to Miss Stacy, the new school mistress, is forestalled. In her confinement, the young girl exults in the many visitors she receives, even Superintendent Bell, whose prayers she is now sorry she criticized.
