Text: Anne and Gilbert finally marry at Green Gables, the house Anne grew up in, and move to the village of Four Winds, P.E.I. There, they take up residence in a small house Anne dubs the ''House of Dreams'', and Gilbert takes over his uncle's medical practice in the nearby town of Glen St. Mary. Anne praises her ''house of dreams'' as ''like a creamy seashell stranded on the harbor shore'', which is surrounded by fir trees ''enfolding secrets'' while the lane leading to the house is full of blossoming trees. The house looks up to a harbor on one side and a shining brook in the valley below. Anne's major problem at the House of Dreams is helping her neighbor Leslie Moore, whose husband was left with brain damage after an accident, and who is as emotionally damaged as her husband is brain-damaged.

Text: To use the ball, it must be held with the window initially facing down. After ''asking the ball'' a yes--no question, the user then turns the ball so that the window faces up, setting in motion the liquid and dye inside. When the die floats to the top and one face presses against the window, the raised letters displace the blue liquid to reveal the message as white letters on a blue background. Although many users shake the ball before turning it upright, the instructions warn against doing so to avoid white bubbles, which interfere with the performance of the ball itself.
