I've decided to make a list of quotes that I want to remember. And since my memory isn't so good lately I thought I had better write them down. They will be listed under "quotes I want to remember."
Oh it was a never to be forgotten day, Marilla.

A Concert, a Catastrophe, and a Confession (ch.19)
You can read "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" and "Bingen on the Rhine" here and here respectively.
My goodness! They are both long poems. I can't imagine memorizing either of them.
I had to laugh when I read this. "I make so many mistakes. But then just think of all the mistakes I don't make, although I might."
"Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world."
pung sleigh - a sleigh with a box like appearance
sated with dissipation - sated (satisfied fully) dissipate (to spend or use wastefully) I still have no clue????
furtive - shifty
arduous - requiring great exertion

Anne to the Rescue (ch. 18, part 2)
I think this chapter deserves two post. I do believe that this is my favorite chapter so far.
I have to admit that tears came to my eyes when Marilla told Anne she and Diana could be friends again. I do have to agree that dishwashing is terribly unromantic. I'm not sure that being grown up is really so lovely either. Isn't that just like God. To prepare Anne with the lifesaving techniques by having her survive 3 sets of twins.
"Anne came dancing home in the purple winter twilight across the snowy places. Afar in the southwest was the great shimmering, pearl-like sparkle of an evening star in a sky that was pale golden and ethereal rose over gleaming white space and dark glens of spruce. The tinkles of sleigh bells among the snowy hills came like elfin chimes through the frosty air, but their music was not sweeter than the song in Anne's heart and on her lips."
I really want to end with this quote.
"..I feel like praying tonight and I'm going to think out a apecial brand new prayer in honor of the occasion."
I've go to make a list of all the vocab words so I can use them on a regular basis.
pulchritudinous - having qualities that delight the eye ( I know, this word didn't come from the book but I was looking up something else and ran across it. I thought it sounded like something Anne would say) You can listen to the pronunciation here.

Anne to the Rescue (ch. 18)
"All things great are wound up with all things little." Isn't that the truth?
and
"It's all very well to say resist temptation, but it's ever so much easier to resist it if you can't get the key."
Women's right to vote in Canada - Women in what is now known as Canada could vote before Canadian Confederation if they owned property, but after Confederation in 1867 they were legally barred from voting. In 1917, women were allowed to vote if they met an exception for military personnel stationed abroad. "Bluebirds", nurses caring for wounded soldiers in Europe in World War I, were the first women to vote legally in a Canadian federal election. In 1918, women had the same voting rights as men in federal elections.

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are white frost, aren't you?"
I was curious about blue plums. You can see pictures and read about them here.
