Morning at Green Gables
I'm lovin' Anne because of her imaginative descriptions and childhood innocence.
But oh no, here's Marilla:
"'It's time you were dressed,' she said curtly."
Oh Marilla. We all know you're going to stop hatin' Anne soon enough. Just give in. She's so adorable.
After another page-long monologue (!) Anne goes to breakfast WITHOUT TURNING BACK THE BEDCLOTHES. This will obviously result in the death of a dolphin.
Now Anne, who has been allowed to play, is declining because 'There is no use is loving things if you have to be torn from them". Actually, Anne, isn't love of any kind still vital?
Bonny the geranium! This is so ridiculous that I lol'd. And Snow Queen the cherry-tree! Anne is actually great.
I'm planning to start reading/reviewing a third book (crazy, I know), but I think I'll get something quite a bit more recent. I have The Old Curiosity Shop and Robinson Crusoe sitting on my bedside table but I really feel like something more modern for a change. I might go to the library tomorrow.
