Today’s sentence comes from Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery.
“Mrs Rachel was not often sick and had a well-defined contempt for people who were; but grippe, she asserted, was like no other illness on earth and could only be interpreted as one of the special visitations ofProvidence.”

I probably missed my opportunity to read this one….I don’t seem to do well reading books like this now. Enjoy!

I’m afraid I’ve missed my opportunity too. As a kid I would have enjoyed this better.
i love anne! 🙂
Good to know that. It is wonderful to find a character you love and/or can relate to, isn’t it?
Hi!
Wonderful book! I re-read it last year and loved it as much now as when I was a child. Have a great day!

Hello! Yes it is a rather nice book. I just wish I had read it as a child and not as an adult for the first time.
One of my favorite childhood books, by one of my favorite Canadian authors! Thanks for participating!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Great line.
Thanks! 🙂
I have a copy of this book on my stack for a reread. I haven’t read it since childhood, so I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing.

I wish I did read Anne of Green Gables in my childhood. I think I would have enjoyed it better then.
