1001 Stories From The Gilded Age

In today's episode, we bring you two chapters.  Join Anne Shirley during a season of profound transitions, beginning with the long-awaited wedding of her "bosom friend," Diana Barry.  As Anne ties the pink roses—the "flowers of love and faith"—into the bridal bouquet, she must confront the bittersweet reality that while their bond remains, the world of their youth is irrevocably changed by the responsibilities of adulthood.  Amidst the "white-woven enchantment of moonlight" in Lovers' Lane, a familiar camaraderie returns with Gilbert Blythe, yet Anne finds herself feeling like a "stranger in Avonlea," mourning the "glory and the dream" of a childhood that has passed away forever.
Seeking a fresh perspective, Anne journeys to Valley Road to substitute teach, where she encounters the delightfully robust Mrs. Amelia Skinner.  Mrs. Skinner's own "real romantic" tale of choosing the poor but beloved Thomas over a wealthy suitor offers a poignant reminder that "folks can't get along together in this world without a little bit of love" to smooth the way.

In this installment of Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery, covering "Mutual Confidences" and "A June Evening," the girls at Patty's Place share deeply held secrets just as the shadow of April examinations falls.  Phil announces she is the happiest girl in the world after accepting Jonas Blake.  Anne, however, struggles with her own bewildering heart, questioning if life with Royal Gardner, the hero of her dreams, might be somewhat uninteresting.  As Diana's wedding approaches, Anne, sitting under the spice and bloom of a June evening, realizes that it is a most dreadful thing to go out of the world without being missed, and sighs over the fact that people have to grow up, and marry, and change.
