L.M. Montgomery Quote
Oh, Mr. Cuthbert, she whispered, that place we came through--that white place--what was it?Well now, you must mean the Avenue, said Matthew after a few moments' profound reflection. It is a kind of pretty place.Pretty? Oh, PRETTY doesn't seem the right word to use. Nor beautiful, either. They don't go far enough. Oh, it was wonderful--wonderful. It's the first thing I ever saw that couldn't be improved upon by imagination. It just satisfies me here--she put one hand on her breast--it made a queer funny ache and yet it was a pleasant ache. Did you ever have an ache like that, Mr. Cuthbert?Well now, I just can't recollect that I ever had.I have it lots of time--whenever I see anything royally beautiful. But they shouldn't call that lovely place the Avenue. There is no meaning in a name like that. They should call it--let me see--the White Way of Delight. Isn't that a nice imaginative name?
