Actually, Beverly, the tuna fish that this wonderful (mythical) family feeds her can't do her any harm now. It's the same nice family that has kindly taken in all of my childhood pets. They also likely own a farm and probably have nice rabbits for her to chase.
Note to self: Others are kind and practical, and don't live in your delusions. They will likely take them seriously. Be more careful.

I met Kelly a few times at SF conventions. Such a dear, sweet man. I choked up a bit when I learned he'd died.
I always liked Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom more than Little Women.
Me too. They're just more fun, IMO. And Rose gets a better deal in the husband department than Jo, though I know some readers who've never forgiven Alcott for
killing Charlie.
Didn't bother me, since I've never much cared for that type of guy anyway, and couldn't picture him reforming.
Ooh, and I also love An Old-Fashioned Girl.
WRT later Anne books, I love House of Dreams and Rilla, but usually skip Windy Poplars, Ingleside, and Rainbow Valley. And I re-read the Pat books as often as Anne and a little more often than Emily.
Anyone want to play literati?
I couldn't get enough of
Jane of Lantern Hill
but honestly, I could never get all that wrapped up in the Anne books. I adore the story, but I think I got so attached to the movies when I was very young that my young self was almost insulted by differences. I was all "Twins? What freaking twins? I don't think so."
I am going to put them on my reading list for the year, now that I am larger and therefore older than I was then.
Lee, you bet. One game for me. Where?
I'm up for one game. Then I must hie me to bed.
I'll set up a room. Semantics, table 67.
