L.M. Montgomery Quote

Never mind Phil and the violets just now, Anne, said Gilbert quietly, taking her hand in a clasp from which she could not free it. There is something I want to say to you. Oh, don't say it, cried Anne, pleadingly. Don't—PLEASE, Gilbert. I must. Things can't go on like this any longer. Anne, I love you. You know I do. I—I can't tell you how much. Will you promise me that some day you'll be my wife? I—I can't, said Anne miserably. Oh, Gilbert—you—you've spoiled everything. Don't you care for me at all? Gilbert asked after a very dreadful pause, during which Anne had not dared to look up. Not—not in that way. I do care a great deal for you as a friend. But I don't love you, Gilbert. But can't you give me some hope that you will—yet? No, I can't, exclaimed Anne desperately. I never, never can love you—in that way—Gilbert. You must never speak of this to me again. There

About L.M. Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a collection of novels, essays, short stories, and poetry beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. She published 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success; the title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. Most of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, and those locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site – namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.
Montgomery's work, diaries, and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide. The L. M. Montgomery Institute, University of Prince Edward Island, is responsible for the scholarly inquiry into the life, works, culture, and influence of L. M. Montgomery.
