Well, if you must know, I was in Diana’s skiff but it sprang a leak and I had to climb onto the piling or sink. Now, if you would be so kind as to row me to the landing. Ah, I see. Well, then the fact is I rescued you. Help was on the way and I was calmly waiting for it. You’re most welcome.
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (1985) dir. Kevin Sullivan
Oh, you look like a Gibson Magazine cover. Perhaps some romantic artist will fall for you and ask to paint your picture. Oh, Miss Shirley, I’m going to wear my hair just like that when I turn 18.

Anne took the dress and looked at it in reverent silence. Oh, how pretty it was - a lovely soft brown gloria with all the gloss of silk; a skirt with dainty frills and shirrings; a waist elaborately pintucked in the most fashionable way, with a little ruffle of filmy lace at the neck. But the sleeves - they were the crowning glory! Long elbow cuffs, and above them two beautiful puffs divided by rows of shirring and bows of brown-silk ribbon.
“That’s a Christmas present for you, Anne,” said Matthew shyly. “Why - why - Anne, don’t you like it? Well now - well now.”
For Anne’s eyes had suddenly filled with tears.
“Like it! Oh, Matthew!” Anne laid the dress over a chair and clasped her hands. “Matthew, it’s perfectly exquisite. Oh, I can never thank you enough. Look at those sleeves! Oh, it seemes to me this must be a happy dream.”
Chapter XXV. {Matthew insists on puffed sleeves} Anne of Green Gables
“Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps … perhaps … love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
“I could never love anybody as much as I love you, Anne.”
“Do you really love me?”
“Course I do.”
Anne Of Green Gables (1985)
“Gilbert put his arm about them. ‘Oh, you mothers!’ he said. ‘You mothers! God knew what He was about when He made you.”
