Anne Shirley-Cuthbert & Gilbert Blythe

THIS was the moment for them to express their 'feelings', but they both chickened out AGAIN! So, GUYS & GALS - If ever you LOVE someone, FGS TELL them - because it MAY not be obvious and people are not mind-readers - especially when young - and people in love often adore the object of their love so much that they cannot believe he or she could ever love them back. But YOU NEVER KNOW - and if you SAY nothing then maybe you never WILL.

In our story, it was fortuitous that Diana talked to Gilbert on the train and that Winifried spoke to Anne (BOTH were chance encounters!) .... They might otherwise NEVER have had another chance!
