- Anne Shirley: Oh, Matthew, I've had just the best afternoon! Can you imagine that of all the trees on Prince Edward Island, I managed to find the oldest and kindest one?
- Matthew Cuthbert: I could.
- Anne Shirley: [going to the ocean] Ah! Isn't this just the most beautiful day there ever was? I love autumn. I just love it! I'm so glad I get to live in a world where there are Octobers, aren't you?
- Mr. Andrews: [about Anne's distractedness] She's a character, that one.
- Marilla Cuthbert: She's a case, I should say.
