M. Montgomery's Anne of the Island, we rejoin Anne Shirley as she returns to the life of a country 'schoolma'am' at Valley Road. Boarding at Wayside with the thrifty soul Janet Sweet, Anne enjoys a world of feather-beds and lavish feasts, though she is slightly haunted by a parlor decorated with five preserved coffin plates. While the local social scene is quiet, save for a youth offering peppermints, Anne becomes a passive spectator to the courtship of Janet and John Douglas, a man whose face reveals a patient, humorous endurance. However, during a tea with John's mother, an angelic woman who claims to have been dying by inches for twenty years, Anne catches a glimpse of John looking like a tortured man, hinting at a hidden weight behind their long-standing placid courtship.
