So, just how nice and kind were Anne's caretakers? On page 41 (lol..in my book anyway) Marilla felt pity for the starved, unloved life Anne had had - a life of drudgery and poverty and neglect; for Marilla was shrewd enough to read between the lines of Anne's history and divine the truth. No wonder she had been so delighted at the prospect of a real home. I concur.
I did come across a word from chapter 4 but forgot about it. So I'll include it here.
abstracted - lost in thought
inculcate - teach persistently and earnestly
asylum - an institution for the maintenance and care of the mentally ill, orphans, or other persons requiring specialized assistance.
I wanted to look up the official definition for asylum because I had always thought it was only for the mentally ill.
