Summary: Anne's pearl bead necklaces, and their givers.

Running her new pearl beads through her fingers, Anne Blythe smiled, remembering another necklace long ago. The first she had ever owned. At first glance, there was little similarity between the givers; but Matthew’s shy smile had held the same pleasure in it, long ago in Green Gables, as had shone from Jem’s face today. The gentle old man and her merry little boy, many years apart, had given her the same present. Anne smiled, though there were tears in her eyes, knowing she had named her son well; knowing Matthew Cuthbert’s kind spirit lived on in little James Matthew.
