Gil Quotes (from the Anne books)

(Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert Blythe)

***************************************************************

"It was the first time Gilbert had said 'my wife' to anybody but Anne, and he narrowly escaped bursting with the pride of it."

(Anne's House of Dreams)

Gil: "I wouldn't have your hair any colour but just what it is for the world. You wouldn't be Anne if you had golden hair--or hair of any colour but--"

Anne: "Red."

Gil: "Yes, red--to give warmth to that milk-white skin and those shining gray-green eyes of yours. Golden hair wouldn't suit you at all, Queen Anne--my Queen Anne--queen of my heart and life and home."

(Anne's House of Dreams)

***************************************************************

Gil: "Marilla, Anne has sent me to tell you that a certain young gentleman has arrived here. He hasn't brought much luggage with him, but he evidently means to stay."

Marilla: "For pity's sake! you don't mean to tell me, Gilbert, that it's all over. Why wasn't I called?"

Gil: "Anne wouldn't let us disturb you when there was no need. Nobody was called until about two hours ago. There was no 'passage perilous' this time."

Marilla: "And--and--Gilbert--will this baby live?"

Gil: "He certainly will. He weighs ten pounds and--why, listen to him. Nothing wrong with his lungs, is there? The nurse says his hair will be red. Anne is furious with her, and I'm tickled to death."

(Anne's House of Dreams)

"To come back at the end of a hard day and find you! Are you happy, Annest of Annes?"

(Anne of Ingleside)

***************************************************************

"We want the children to possess their heritage of Fairyland as long as they can..."

(Anne of Ingleside)

***************************************************************

Anne "You do love me Gilbert? I'm not just a habit with you? You haven't said you loved me for so long."

Gil: "My dear, dear love! I didn't think you needed words to know that! I couldn't live without you. Always you give me strength."

(Anne of Ingleside)
