This section recounts the immediate aftermath of the horses’ escaping into the countryside. Henry Armstid is discovered amidst the trash in the feed lot with his leg broken. He is carried to Mrs. Littlejohn’s, who sends for Will Varner, a veterinarian who also practices medicine on people. Mrs. Littlejohn maintains that “a man ain’t so different from a mule, come long come short. Except maybe a mule’s got more sense.” - William Faulkner

who on earth is Whiskers-on-the-Moon? He's a resident of the area Anne lives in in the later books. Can't think of the name of the town, but by then Anne has married Gilbert and they buy a house she names Ingleside. The character is so named (sub rosa; he has a "real" name that is used to his face) because he has a full, bushy beard and a bald head. I found these later books less enjoyable than the first two, because they spend far too much time talking about local characters, in my opinion. I think Ms. Montgomery felt herself to be under some pressure to come up with more tales. The final one focuses on Anne's youngest dau., though, and so to me it's better.

Kal V’Khomer ("the light and the heavy"): ...to make an argument from a lesser weight based on one of the heavier or greater weight. The philosophers called this a fortiori (Latin for "with even greater strength"). Example: If X is true of Y then HOW MUCH MORE X must be true of Z (Z being greater weight than Y)...
