ANNE OF THE ISLAND Chapters 33 (He Just Kept Coming and Coming) & 34 (John Douglas Speaks at Last)

In today’s episode of Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery, we follow Anne Shirley as her journey is marked by change and growth during her transition toward adulthood.  While substitute teaching at Valley Road, Anne has been a silent observer of a placid courtship that seemed to have no end.  In "He Just Kept Coming and Coming," the mystery of John Douglas's two-decade-long silence is explored, illustrating the complexities of evolving friendship and the poignant nostalgia of a life spent in waiting.  Finally, as we reach "John Douglas Speaks at Last," the narrative beautifully captures the intertwining of love, friendship, and the challenges of newfound independence that define Anne’s continuing journey.
