| | Anne's House of Dreams - CHAPTER 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Through the open window, by which Anne sat, blew the sweet, scented, sun-warm air of the August afternoon; outside, poplar boughs rustled and tossed in the wind; beyond them were the woods, where Lover's Lane wound its enchanted path, and the old apple orchard which still bore its rosy harvests munificently. |
 | | Anne's laugh, as blithe and irresistible as of yore, with an added note of sweetness and maturity, rang through the garret. |
 | | During the three Summerside years Anne had been home often for vacations and weekends; but, after this, a bi-annual visit would be as much as could be hoped for. |
