Moonlight and the murmur of pines blended together so that one could hardly tell which was light and which was sound.

Gilbert Blythe's heart-melting words (in AHOD)

1- "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.”

2- “Anne, this is Captain Boyd. Captain Boyd, my wife.”

It was the first time Gilbert had said “my wife” to anybody but Anne, and he narrowly escaped bursting with the pride of it.

3- “You’ll stay right here with me, Anne-girl,” said Gilbert lazily. “I won’t have you flying away from me into the hearts of storms.”

4- “YOU know, Anne-girl,” said Gilbert, smiling into her eyes.

5- I wouldn’t have your hair any color but just what it is for the world,” said Gilbert, with one or two convincing accompaniments.

You wouldn’t be ANNE if you had golden hair—or hair of any color but”—

“Yes, red—to give warmth to that milk-white skin and those shining gray-green eyes of yours. Golden hair wouldn’t suit you at all Queen Anne—MY Queen Anne—queen of my heart and life and home.”

7- “Just one of earth’s many millions of homes, Anne—girl—but ours—OURS—our beacon in 'a naughty world.’ When a fellow has a home and a dear, little, red-haired wife in it what more need he ask of life?”

8- “He certainly will. He weighs ten pounds and—why, listen to him. Nothing wrong with his lungs, is there? The nurse says his hair will be red. Anne is furious with her, and I’m tickled to death.”

9-Gilbert put his arm about them. “Oh you mothers!” he said. “You mothers! God knew what He was about when He made you.”

10-“We have been very happy here, haven’t we, Anne-girl?” said Gilbert, his voice full of feeling.

The best part is Miss Cornelia’s response!!!:

Miss Cornelia stared at him for a moment. Then she leaned back in her rocker and laughed long and ungrudgingly.

"My cherries have all been stolen by those scamps of Gilman boys from the Glen.” “Now, now, Cornelia,” remonstrated Captain Jim, who had been reading a sea novel in a corner of the living room, “you shouldn’t say that about those two poor, motherless Gilman boys, unless you’ve got certain proof. Jest because their father ain’t none too honest isn’t any reason for calling them thieves. It’s more likely it’s been the robins took your cherries. They’re turrible thick this year.” “Robins!” said Miss Cornelia disdainfully. “Humph! Two-legged robins, believe ME!” “Well, most of the Four Winds robins ARE constructed on that principle,” said Captain Jim gravely."

"But, Gilbert dear, moonlight with no one to share it is just...just moonshine."

Anne of Windy Poplars by L. M. Montgomery

🤣🥰

"When Diana dished the peas she tasted them and a very peculiar expression crossed her face. “Anne, did you put sugar in these peas?” “Yes,” said Anne, mashing the potatoes with the air of one expected to do her duty. “I put a spoonful of sugar in. We always do. Don’t you like it?” “But I put a spoonful in too, when I set them on the stove,” said Diana. Anne dropped her masher and tasted the peas also. Then she made a grimace. “How awful! I never dreamed you had put sugar in, because I knew your mother never does. I happened to think of it, for a wonder . . . I’m always forgetting it . . . so I popped a spoonful in.” “It’s a case of too many cooks, I guess,” said Marilla, who had listened to this dialogue with a rather guilty expression. “I didn’t think you’d remember about the sugar, Anne, for I’m perfectly certain you never did before . . . so I put in a spoonful.”

Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery

“Have you ever noticed how many silences there are Gilbert? The silence of the woods....of the shore....of the meadows....of the night....of the summer afternoon. All different because the undertones that thread them are different.”

"Ah, this is how life should be," purred Dora's kitten."

Anne of Windy Poplars by L. M. Montgomery

So... Dora must have somehow convinced Marilla (a cat-hater) to have a cat in Green Gables!!!!!

"...little Elizabeth curled up, all flushed and sweet like a wild rose, for an afternoon nap on the kitchen sofa with Dora's kittens cuddled about her..."

Anne of Windy Poplars by L. M. Montgomery

Or more than one cat!!!! I would love to read the story about how quiet and meek Dora persuaded Marilla to get the kittens... since Anne felt that she couldn't take Rusty to Green Gables only two years before...

"I’m sorry to part with Rusty,” said Anne regretfully, “but it would be no use to take him to Green Gables. Marilla detests cats, and Davy would tease his life out."

You're awesome! Thank you! What do you think of this one? Similar but slightly less blocky. @moonlight-and-fireflies

I'm not 1000% sure on this one, guys. Can I get some feedback? @moonlight-and-fireflies

Ok, here's my quick take on part of the quote. I love this picture usage because it looks like it could be a lighthouse shore in Prince Edward Island.

If you are still taking requests, would you make something of this quote?

"It’s dusk, dearest. (In passing, isn’t ‘dusk’ a lovely word? I like it better than twilight. It sounds so velvety and shadowy and—and—dusky.) In daylight I belong to the world; in the night to sleep and eternity. But in the dusk I’m free from both and belong only to myself—and you." -Anne of Windy Poplars

Or even just a part of it. Thank you!

YES! I would love to work on this! I didn't see it right away.

@iamtheonethinginlifeicancontrol I had an inspiration and then I found this GLORIOUS old photograph under creative commons usage. I know that this is most likely supposed to have been a lovely portrait but she has such a dead look in her eyes that I just found it comical to pair it with that quote.

Hello my lovelies!!! Does anyone have a quote from LMM that they would like to see as a graphic?

These are great @iamtheonethinginlifeicancontrol but they are going to take some more thought. I'll get them up as soon as I can.
