Hahah, I haven't read this yet, although I am about to! I must confess I am quite curious, though, as to why you exclusively refer to him as Gil instead of Gilbert, which (having read the books approx. 6 floppity jillion times) he is always called by Anne -- Diana calls him Gil a couple times in AoGG and possibly Christine might in Anne of Ingleside, but... yeah. Curious!
question!
