Jerry knocked at the Bennett's doors.
"Get the door Ellis!" Reuben shouted.
"H-hello?" Ellis stuttered as she opened the door to a boy around her age.

"Merci."
Ellis laughed, she didn't know why it was just an initial reaction to his foreign language.
"F-French."
"I can teach you if you'd like?" Jerry offered as he took a bite of his scone.
"I-I thi-nk t-that it wo-would be better t-to lear-n en-engli-sh first." She struggled with the sentence.
"I think your English is great." Jerry smiled supportively.
Anne had told him all about Ellis Bennett, and how she had Gilbert Blythe's full attention.
