Anne's "Horrid" Wincey Dress
Submitted by Living Archives on Sun, 10/14/2007 - 02:08.
Anne Shirley to Matthew Cuthbert on their first drive home to Green Gables:
“This morning when I left the asylum I felt so ashamed because I had to wear this horrid old wincey dress. All the orphans had to wear them, you know. A merchant in Hopeton last winter donated three hundred yards of wincey to the asylum. Some people said it was because he couldn’t sell it, but I’d rather believe that it was out of the kindness of his heart, wouldn’t you?” (19-20)
From L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, L. C. Page, 1908.
