Chronicles of Avonlea

I am head over heels in love with this chapter. 

Forced proximity really made the woman-hating, dog owner Mr. Alexander Abraham grow madly obsessed with man-hating, cat owner Ms. Peter—nay Angelina 🫣🫶🫶🥹🥹 MacPherson<33333 

Also the previous story about MacPherson 1???? Obsessed.

I had existed like this for a fortnight when Alexander Abraham suddenly appeared. He walked in one evening at dusk, but at first sight I didn't know him, he was so spruced and barbered up. But William Adolphus, my own William Adolphus, rubbed up against that man's trouser leg with an undisguised purr of satisfaction. 

"I had to come, Angelina," said Alexander Abraham. "I couldn't stand it any longer." 

"My name is Peter," I said coldly, although I was feeling ridiculously glad about something. 

"It isn't," said Alexander Abraham stubbornly. "It is Angelina for me, and always will be. I shall never call you Peter. Angelina just suits you exactly; and Angelina Bennett would suit you still better. You must come back, Angelina. Mr. Riley is moping for you, and I can't get along without somebody to appreciate my sarcasms, now that you have accustomed me to the luxury." 

"What about the other five cats?" I demanded. 

"I suppose they'll have to come too," he sighed, "though no doubt they'll chase poor Mr. Riley clean off the premises. But I can live without him, and I can't without you. How soon can you be ready to marry me?" 

"I haven't said that I was going to marry you at all, have I?" I said tartly, just to be consistent. For I wasn't feeling tart. 

"No, but you will, won't you?" Said Alexander Abraham anxiously. "Because if you won't, I wish you'd let me die of smallpox. Do, dear Angelina." 

To think that a man should dare to call me his "dear Angelina"! And to think that I shouldn't mind! 

"Where I go, William Adolphus goes," I said, "but I shall give away the other five cats for—for the sake of Mr. Riley."

it must have been years since i last read these ... but yeah what possessed me to start reading these again sick in bed at 7 in the morning LOL.
It is interesting because most of the Chronicles are specifically about older individuals and especially finding love in wild ways... hm

Miss Montgomery continues to follow up the vein she opened in "Anne of Green Gables." These stories are all of Spencervale or Avonlea. Anne herself —or what we hope to be a caricature of her—appears on the cover, and is mentioned now and again within. But she is not the leading figure in any of the tales, which might have been called "Romances of Middle Age," so strongly does a single motive dominate them. Ten out of the dozen stories deal with belated love-affairs, or with the pathetic devotion of age for youth.

The Chronicles of Avonlea

I love Avonlea and I absolutely loved learning about the different characters and how they lived their lives so differently in the same place.
