Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can just imagine myself sitting down at the head of the table and pouring out the tea, said Anne, shutting her eyes ecstatically. And asking Diana if she takes sugar! I know she doesn't but of course I'll ask her just as if I didn't know.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
