[the-moral-of-the-rose]

It is crazy that so many of L. M. Montgomery's girls have "inherited" Philippa Gordon's traits/plotline:

1. EMILY STARR

both cherish the people they eat with more than the food itself:

Phil Gordon:

“Better a dinner of herbs where your chums are than a stalled ox in a lonely boardinghouse.”

Anne of The Island by L. M. Montgomery

Emily Starr:

"Better a dinner of herbs where Cousin Jimmy is than roast spare-ribs and Aunt Ruth therewith," she said."

Emily Climbs by L. M. Montgomery

2. ILSE BURNLEY:

-both are popular with boys:

Phil Gordon:

"She had all the “beaux” that heart could desire, for nine-tenths of the Freshmen and a big fraction of all the other classes were rivals for her smiles."

Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery

Ilse Burnley:

"Nonsense," said Emily reassuringly. "Nine out of ten men will fall in love with you."

Emily Climbs by by L. M. Montgomery

"But Ilse, though she told many a tale of lovers forlorn whose agonies seemed to lie very lightly on her conscience, never mentioned Teddy's name."

Emily's Quest by L. M. Montgomery

-both like the boys who are in love with someone else:

Phil Gordon:

"But, of course, the one I like best I can’t get. Gilbert Blythe won’t take any notice of me, except to look at me as if I were a nice little kitten he’d like to pat. Too well I know the reason."

Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery

Ilse Burnley:

"There's never been anybody for me but Perry Miller. And you've got your claws in him."

Emily's Quest by L. M. Montgomery

-neither of them can hate a girl their crush likes:

Phil Gordon:

"I owe you a grudge, Queen Anne. I really ought to hate you and instead I love you madly, and I’m miserable if I don’t see you every day."

Anne of The Island by L. M. Montgomery

Ilse Burnley:

"Emily, I wonder I don't hate you. Rejecting with scorn what I want so much."

Emily's Quest by L. M. Montgomery

-both are willing to change their ways of life for the men they love:

Phil Gordon:

“You’ll have to give up a good many things you’ve always had, when you marry Mr. Blake, Phil.”

“But I’ll have him. I won’t miss the other things."

Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery

Ilse Burnley:

"I think you'll have to ask Perry sometimes if you can do things."

"I won't mind that. You'll be surprised to see what a dutiful wife I'll make."

Emily's Quest by L. M. Montgomery

3. RACHEL "RAE" (CUDDLES) GARDINER (Pat of Silver Bush)

-both have the same trouble (choosing which one of two man would be better and then):

Phil Gordon:

"Alec and Alonzo are two dear boys, and I like them both so much that I really don’t know which I like the better. That is the trouble."

Anne of The Island by L. M. Montgomery

Rae Gardiner:

"Of course I mean to make up my mind permanently some day. I feel sure I'll marry one of those boys. They are both good matches."

"And I'm not mercenary...I'm only through with being a sentimentalist. It's just that I find it hard to decide between two equally nice boys."

Mistress Pat by L. M. Montgomery

-both end up marrying "the third man":

Phil Gordon:

"Anne, I’m the happiest girl in the world,” confessed Phil suddenly.

“So Mr. Blake has asked you to marry him at last?” said Anne calmly.

“Yes. And I sneezed three times while he was asking me. Wasn’t that horrid? But I said ‘yes’ almost before he finished—I was so afraid he might change his mind and stop."

Anne of The Island by L. M. Montgomery

Rae Gardiner:

"Fancy any one not knowing who Brook Hamilton is. I can't believe I didn't know him myself three weeks ago. I met him the first night you went away at Dot's dance..."

"Rae Gardiner, you don't mean to tell me you're engaged to a man you've known only three weeks!"

Mistress Pat by L. M. Montgomery

-both end up marrying a rather ugly man:

Phil Gordon:

“He is a very ugly young man—really, the ugliest young man I’ve ever seen. He has a big, loose-jointed figure with absurdly long legs. His hair is tow-color and lank, his eyes are green, and his mouth is big, and his ears—but I never think about his ears if I can help it."

Anne of The Island by L. M. Montgomery

Rae Gardiner:

"I suppose," said Pat sarcastically, "he's extremely handsome and you've fallen for..."

"But he isn't. I think he's ugly really, when I think of his face at all. But it's such a delightful ugliness."

Mistress Pat by L. M. Montgomery

Phil Gordon: But what about Jonas? He’s my soulmate!

Anne: You said that about a ball of yarn once.

Jonas Blake, admiring Phil Gordon: She’s probably one of those beautiful women who doesn’t even know it.

Anne: No, she knows it.

[anneofgreengablesincorrectquotes]

Jonas Blake: You’re the perfect woman.

Philippa Gordon: I’ve often thought so.
