For starters, I love regular girl stories, because that's what I am. I love her talking, because, well, if you know me at all, you'll get that one. I love how starting with Matthew, almost everyone around her loves her despite their first impressions. I love how her personality is a bright light to the world around her.
Marilla Cuthbert: I'm afraid for her, Matthew. She'll be gone so long. She'll get terrible lonesome.
Matthew Cuthbert: You mean, we'll get terrible lonesome.
Marilla Cuthbert: I can't help wishing that she'd stayed a little girl.
Matthew Cuthbert: Mrs. Spencer made a lucky mistake, I guess.
Marilla Cuthbert: It wasn't luck; it was Providence. He knew we needed her.
Matthew Cuthbert: Even with her queer little ways.
Marilla Cuthbert: I loved her for them.

Her spunk, love of the beauty of nature, honest relationship to God, fierce love of the people closest to her...yes, I could go on and on...
So here's a question for those who have read her and a tease for those who need to....
