Emily of New Moon (Emily Part 1) (Emily Starr Trilogy)

by L.M. Montgomery

under the inspiration of Ilse's personality, she was full of Dutch courage.

Better than strong drink.

But for once the way of the transgressor was made sinfully easy.

Haha

Haha of course. Religious … not hypocrisy, really, but a badly mistaken conception of it. Like “Ellen’s God.”

Haha

Haha - at all that wasted anxiety.

her only feeling was thankfulness that Juliet's child had not broken her neck on that rotten ladder.

After all, Juliet was their sister.

"If I were you I'd hide my boots every time I went out of the gate," said Aunt Laura. "But I wouldn't forget to put them on before I came back.

her father doesn't like her. Isn't it dreadful?" said Emily. "Why doesn't he?" "He does—really. He only thinks he doesn't."

Emily hated to be told she was too young to understand.

Haha

The Tansy Patch

a plant of the daisy family with yellow flat-topped buttonlike flower heads and aromatic leaves, formerly used in cooking and medicine

The Tansy Patch

An amazing chapter. The best so far.

Emily and Ilse had a splendid fortnight of fun before their first fight.

Haha - the way of relationships.

a true Burnley tantrum.

very fluent in her rages and the volley of abusive "dictionary words"

Emily was too much at home with words to be fl...

Haha

puling, snivelling chit,

stuck-up, conceited, top-lofty biped,"

Haha

Ilse had already discovered what a fertile imagination Emily had.

Haha

"Wretched, wretched me!" she sobbed, dramatically, but very sincerely.

This quarrel was fair and open and above-board.

Haha

Haha

This rather posed Emily

Question

Haha

"Why, that was yesterday," she said in amazement,

Ilse, it transpired, could no more help flying into tantrums now and then than she could help being jolly and affectionate between them.

It’s her way, and you can’t argue with a way.

"Aren't I nice enough between times to make up for it?" demanded Ilse.

Haha

"as moonlight unto sunlight and as water unto wine"—or

Haha - yet. p. 71

Dr Burnley

By the sick-bed he was as gentle and sympathetic as he was brusque and sarcastic away from it.

once you were well he had apparently no further use for you.

Haha

Teddy Kent's

the Tansy...

"He's lonesome and moping. Go and cheer him up," said the doctor.

for the first time it occurred to her that it might be rather nice to have a boy playmate, too.

"Teddy's nice but his mother is queer,"

Mrs Kent

a voice as soft and uncertain as the wind in the tansy.

Most people considered it a bare, lonely, neglected place, but Emily thought it was fascinating.

tansy grew in a hard, flaunting, aromatic luxuriance,

red poppies held up their enchanted cups.

Teddy

Teddy's clear olive skin

the long, smoky, delicious August evenings

fireflies lighted their goblin torches

his little collection of drawings.
