I have to admit, when I read these the first time (maybe about the same time as you did?), my reading comprehension was pretty damn good, and yet I almost still missed the main (sad) event of House o' Dreams; it was so very hidden in the language and I didn't have my 19th Century decoder ring. (Trying to be suitable vague so as not to spoil folks.) But god, I was in floods of tears at the end of Green Gables.
Also. I have to ask the obvious question - you do know that there is a book 7 & 8? I discovered these by a sheer fluke.

I also have a soft spot for Emily series.
