Re: Second Topic...
Good idea Shells.
Back to Sartie...
So...here's an idea...what do you think they wrote to each other in letters during the absent times BEFORE they were together?
Okay - everybody write one.

Re: Second Topic...
Dear Arthur,
I regret to inform you that I have become engaged to Perry Miller, so I could not encourage or accept any proposals you may make to me, no matter how amenable some members of the Anne 3 forum may I think I might be to them.
I have recently found out that Booth Elliot is not engaged to Sara Stanley at all, but to her doppelganger, Jo Pitts. Poor Rilla was confused. I do hope that Jo and Booth enjoy a long, happy, life together, in which Jo will never allow Booth to smoke her pipe, no matter how hard he begs.
Sara awaits your return.
A friend,
Ilse Burnley

Re: Second Topic...
Dear Sara,
I have splendid news! Teddy and I are finally engaged - just as you always predicted, but I never acknowledged, for very good reason.
It is with regret that I inform you that your look-alike Jo Pitts is impersonating you! (Either that or someone has misplaced a letter in the wrong topic).
Claiming to be you, she has manipulated Booth Elliot into a proposal. Normally I do not approve of spreading gossip as I am not quite as liberal with my tongue as my dear friend Ilse.
Warm regards on your recent engagement to that fine doctor in Halifax and the recent publication of your new novel! From a writer's heart to another I send you kindred understanding of such joy.
Your friend,
Emily Byrd Star

Re: Second Topic...
Dear Emily,
I do not mind Jo Pitts impersonating me so long as she does things for my amusement! Arthur and I have had a long laugh over this, and I can't help feeling - quite guiltily - as though Booth does deserve it just a teensy bit.
This, after the way he floated out of my life and broke my poor young lovestruck heart! He really never did keep in touch after he was so distracted by all those ladies in the dancing clubs in the States.
And to think he'd want to sweet-talk me into being with him! I did not know what love was in those days.
Certainley isn't anything close to what I've found now! 
Thankyou very much - I am so glad you have read my book! I'm looking forward so to see you re-finish your Sellar of Dreams. You must let me know when the wedding is, dear friend! I am so pleased!
With warm kindred feelings,
Sara

Re: Second Topic...
Dear Sara,
Perhaps my tongue is hinged in the middle, as my dear friend Emily would say, but you must admit that I AM the first in Avonlea to hear all the news!
First, I must tell you that I know ALL the details of Booth's upcoming nuptials to Jo Pitts. They are to be married by Peg Bowen at two o'clock in the afternoon at the cannery. Angus McCorkadale is to stand up for Jo and, instead of vows, Booth will dance a jig. Sally Potts tells me she (Sally) is going to wear her best bonnet that that I am not invited. Sally says she's going to try very, very hard to cry this time. She tried to cry at Josie Pye's wedding, but felt like a complete failure because she wasn't able to squeeze out a single tear. Hopefully, she can redeem herself, she says. Sally says Peg is hopping mad that she can't chew snuff during the ceremony (It muffles speech, you know, otherwise, Sally says, Jo wouldn't mind at all, but she wants to be able to understand the questions that Peg asks her. Sally says Jo says she's awful nervous about the questions and hopes she "don't get one wrong.") So, Jo had to appease Peg by promising her a flask she can drink out of while she marries them and Jo said she could lots of booze for afterward and even take some home.
Speaking of Peg Bowen, have you heard the news she was engaged to Stuart McRae? It seems that Peg was so heartbroken about Booth choosing Jo over her, that she's gone and thrown herself on the first man she saw. Not that Stuart isn't a good man, but that shrine to Felicity at his house must be awfully hard to dust. And I don't think Peg owns ANY doilies at all.
I must be off. I promised Cecily King to tell her all the news. She's just returned from college in Halifax and looking VERY smart!
Ta-ta,
Ilse

Re: Second Topic...
Dearest Ilse!
Oh - your epistle truly made me laugh with glee! Oh, it seems things in Avonlea haven't changed one bit!
You described their upcoming nuptuals *so* brilliantly that it made me want to be there myself, just to see it!
Poor old Peg! Jo has no reason to torment her so! Felix and I were the ones to constantly clammor her for spells against Felicity when we were children. I suppose Jo enjoys tormenting everyone - but do keep her away from Aunt Hetty, I'm afraid she'll start having heart palpitations.
Greet my dear cousin Cecily warmly for me - she has done quite brilliantly in college, you know!
Yours Ever,
Sara Stanley
Dear Ilse,
Have you no sense of dignity!?
Your very annoyed friend,
Emily

Re: Second Topic...
Dear Sara,
It's not my fault I have no sense of propriety. I have just had a letter from Emily and she told me so.
Perry Miller has himself and only himself to blame. He took me to a nice dinner at the White Sands, before he proposed, you know, and he thought it would be a good joke to pour me glass after glass of wine, and before our food arrived, I was laughing fit to kill. Perry thought that would be the best time to whip out the ring--when I was not in my senses--and I said yes before I knew what I was doing. I woke up the next morning with a headache and a ring on my finger and I had to 'phone Perry and ask if I got engaged to him or to Simon Tremayne, and he said we were engaged good and proper. Does Peg Bowen have a spell to relieve one of drunkenness? Or a headache? Perhaps those magic seeds might still have some oomph in them. Poor Ilse has had to take to her bed. Oh, darn that Perry Miller!
Now, of course, there's a story all around Avonlea that I was falling down drunk at the White Sands and had to be carried out by Elbert Werts because Perry was drunk, too. I was only tipsy, I swear, Sara. I know everybody's talking about it, too. Your Aunt Hetty, lovely woman, was rather cold to me in the general store today. I do hope she doesn't ban me from Rose Cottage. Elderly aunts like to do to that to poor Ilse. I suppose this will get back to Blair Water and be talked over there, too. Dad won't care; he'll think it's a good lark.
I'm so glad the wedding plans are making you laugh as much as they're making me. Sally Potts told them with such seriousness, too!
Did you know that my dear little Emily and Teddy are engaged at last? Finally! I thought after I threw him over, he'd come to his senses faster than I did, but men are always a little slow, aren't they? I do hope what I heard from Cecily is true and not a rumor. I would be heartbroken if it were. Do you know for certain, dearest Sara? Have you heard yay or nay from our Emmy?
Speaking of engagements, I hear young Arthur Pettibone is engaged to spend some time in Avonlea with his family in the coming weeks. Sally Potts has her eye on him, you know. He really ought to settle down, too. It doesn't do to have handsome young men running around unattached. They set all the young ladies' hearts aflutter. Peg was wise to snatch up Stuart while she had the chance.
Our little Cecily is blooming like a little old rosebud. Who knew Halifax would do the girl so much good? Your fine Miss King was always saying what a polluted, stinking city it was, but I think that selfsame polluted air is doing your little cousin a world of good. She looked fresh-faced and rosy this afternoon when I stopped by to call. Izzy P. is home from Dalhousie, of course. Cecily and Izzy traveled together by train. Miss K. called it "shocking," but I like to see girls being independent in this world, don't you?
Izzy was calling on Cecily when I popped by. I don't know where in the world FK was. That will be a match, mark my words (quoth Mrs. Lynde). You know, some people say Colonel Clive won't allow it, but I don't see how he can refuse, do you? If he does, let us promise to help them run away? It would be a good lark, and goodness knows, I could use the excitement since I'm not going to Booth's wedding. Iz suggested that the three of us go incognito as Jo's long-lost relatives.
Your chum,
Ilse

Re: Second Topic...
Dear Emily,
Oh, dearest Emily, do be kind. I didn't mean to get drunk. Perry Miller knows full well I can't drink but two sips of alcohol and I'm gone, but what did he do but let me drink and drink and drink at the White Sands? Elbert Werts served us and he asked Perry if I hadn't had enough, and Perry told him to pour, pour, pour. I am very put upon. My head aches and I've taken to my bed with a hot water bottle. Don't scold me, dearest Emiliest of Emilies.
Now, I must turn the tables and scold you!
Cecily King tells me you are engaged to Teddy Kent! Is it true, dear Emily? Are you and Teddy finally, finally engaged, together and--dare I say it--in love? You needn't hid it from your silly Ilse. It was dumb of him to propose to him and scandalous of me to accept. I knew I didn't love him and that he didn't love me--but, oh, darn that Perry Miller! I am happy for you, dearest of Emilies. Do tell me it's true--and explain to my why I heard it from Cecily King who heard it from Izzy Pettibone, who heard it from Muriel Pettibone, who heard it from Clara Potts before I heard it from you.
Love,
Ilse
