      Anne Shirley: Please, Matthew. You need help. We've got to get a doctor.

      Matthew Cuthbert: I've worked hard all my life. I'd rather just drop in the harness. I got old; I never noticed.

      Anne Shirley: If I'd been the boy you sent for, I could have spared you in so many ways.

      Matthew Cuthbert: I never wanted a boy. I only wanted you from the first day. Don't ever change. I love my little girl. I'm so proud of my little girl.

    Super Super Super!!

    When I read these books as a child.. I would read an installment and then watch the installment on television. I have been in love with the stories ever since. The characters are truly the embodiment of L.M. Montgomery's written word. She would be proud.

    I grew up wanting Gilbert Blythe to be in love with me and for Diana Barry to be my best friend. I think that this series was and is excellent.

    If you like this one, make sure to watch the sequel. It is a little more romantic and a little less adventurous, but aren't we all when we grow up??
