[Milton-L] Re: An apparent reference to Milton in Anne of Green Gables!

yikes!  I'm sure the editors would want to know.  Tell them that you are a
"kindred spirit."  (Er, to Anne at least.  Probably not to Gabriel.)

I'll actually be attending the next Lucy Maude Montgomery Institute conference
on Prince Edward Island, and I'll be interested to hear if anyone else had
noticed that error.  Probably--over and over.
