There are a few little bits in Chronicles and Further Chronicles that make reference to Anne and Gilbert (others talking about their romance) and it is so effective and romantic. You've nailed all the best parts though, although we have to include in Anne's House of Dreams when he almost bursts with pride introducing Anne as his wife to Captain Jim, and when at the wedding, when the birds sing through their vows and "Gilbert heard it, and wondered only that all the birds in the world had not burst into jubilant song". He's the best man ever written. And he has not been captured properly on film, not even close.Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00703712962187884432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-65858223543929525842022-03-25T02:31:39.095-04:002022-03-25T02:31:39.095-04:00Thanks for this website.

I've always loved the part in "Anne of Ingleside" when Anne thinks that Gilbert has forgotten their anniversary and doesn't love her anymore, but it turns out that his present for her arrived late and that's why he didn't mention the anniversary, hoping that she would forget too until it arrives and then he reconfirms his love for her is just as strong as ever after all the years of marriage and she feels so happy like all is right with the world again. It's one of my favorite parts. "Anne felt like a released bird . . she was flying again. Gilbert's arms were around her . . . his eyes were looking into hers in the moonlight. "You do love me, Gilbert? I'm not just a habit with you? You haven't said you loved me for so long."<br />"My dear, dear love! I didn't think you needed words to know that. I couldn't live without you. Always you give me strength....

Anne begins to mentally construct her House of Dreams. <br /><br />'Anne had no sooner uttered the phrase, "home o'dreams," than it captivated her fancy and she immediately began the erection of one of her own. It was, of course, tenanted by an ideal master, dark, proud, and melancholy; but oddly enough, Gilbert Blythe persisted in hanging about too, helping her arrange pictures, lay out gardens, and accomplish sundry other tasks which a proud and melancholy hero evidently considered beneath his dignity. Anne tried to banish Gilbert's image from her castle in Spain but, somehow, he went on being there, so Anne, being in a hurry, gave up the attempt and pursued her aerial architecture with such success that her "home o'dreams" was built and furnished before Diana spoke again'.<br /><br />It is a major hint that she loves him Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-48719063867137072182015-07-28T09:32:33.820-04:002015-07-28T09:32:33.820-04:00There is one other incident in the first book that...There is one other incident in the first book that is very romantic.
