deartotheheart: Gilbert and Anne Walk Through the Woods “We’re going to be the best of friends, said Gilbert jubilantly. We were born to be good friends, Anne. You’ve thwarted destiny enough.” ~~ Anne of Green Gables “Do you remember our first walk down this hill, Anne—our first walk together anywhere, for that matter?” “I was coming home in the twilight from Matthew’s grave—and you came out of the gate; and I swallowed the pride of years and spoke to you.” “And all heaven opened before me,” supplemented Gilbert. “From that moment I looked forward to tomorrow. When I left you at your gate that night and walked home I was the happiest boy in the world. Anne had forgiven me.” “I think you had the most to forgive. I was an ungrateful little wretch—and after you had really saved my life that day on the pond, too. How I loathed that load of obligation at first! I don’t deserve the happiness that has come to me.” Gilbert laughed and clasped tighter the girlish hand that wore his ring. Anne’s engagement ring was a circlet of pearls. She had refused to wear a diamond. ~~ Anne’s House of Dreams https://www.facebook.com/LMMontgomeryLS/photos/a.10150597670777361.383127.64265372360/10152808440577361/?type=1&theater -- source link
