Leslie Moore's marriage was one of the most indirectly brutal of them; even by implication, as I got older, what was said got more and more horrifying on re-read as I figured out what it meant. It makes the debate about Dick Moore being restored to reason even more heartbreaking. I always felt teh books grew up with Anne in a way; as she got older, the situations she was exposed to became more complex, or she was privy to more information to show the complexity. Especially the hints about her childhood before Green Gables.
Miss Cornelia was the most fun though; her tireless championing of women and truly stunningly civility-as-deadly-insult and oh, her gossip. A joy forever.
