A Quick Anne Quote

Tonight I was thinking about things my friends sometimes post on facebook, bragging on their husbands' thoughtfulness or saying that they have the best husband in the world.

Then I remembered this exchange in Anne of Avonlea.

"What is it really like to be engaged?" asked Anne curiously.

"Well, that all depends on who you're engaged to," answered Diana, with that maddening air of superior wisdom always assumed by those who are engaged over those who  are not. "It's perfectly lovely to be engaged to Fred . . . but I think it would be simply horrid to be engaged to anyone else."

"There's not much comfort for the rest of us in that, seeing that there is only one Fred," laughed Anne.

Insert polygamy joke here.
