...what happened at the end?
White-fonting century-old book, for no good reason:
Matthew dies, and the doctor tells Marilla that, if she stops reading and sewing and crying and doing anything that strains her eyes, then she might not go blind, and the bank collapses and they lose all of their savings. So then Anne, even though she just won a full scholarship to college, decides to stay home and help Marilla and teach at the Avonlea school instead, so that Marilla won't have to sell Green Gables.
Askye, I am so glad you failed. You make our lives better for being part of this group.
Hil, interview-ma.
Our Trader Joe's expanded. More goodies to try, and, along those lines the dark chocolate pretzel bark is very yum!
Askye, I'm glad you're here.
Dude, you haven't read Anne of Green Gables?
Long ago, when I was a kid. I remember a few bits of it, but it wasn't a favorite.
Thanks for telling me the ending, Hil. That's supremely depressing. No wonder I didn't remember it.
Dude, you haven't read Anne of Green Gables?
Note to self: Don't admit to Dana that I haven't read Anne of Green Gables either.
Everyone should read Anne of Green Gables. And watch The IT Crowd. And like The IT Crowd.
Everybody should read Anne of Green Gables! Or if not that, then Emily of New Moon, which I actually think is a better book, though way more somber than Anne, and with a much creepier romance in the later books.

Two out of three ain't bad???
I've actually been reading the annotated version of Anne. The footnotes can get kind of annoying, but in the back, it's got the full text of all the poems and skits that characters recite or perform throughout the book, plus a few of the songs, and a bunch of historical essays that helped me finally figure out what all the different ranks and classes and everything in the school and college parts meant.
