Otilita—we learn this is her given name only in the last fifty pages of the book—first appears...
...Anne of Green Gables novels, set in Prince Edward Island, the titular character is constantly engaged in back-and-forth bickering with her classmate and rival, Gilbert Blythe. When PEI visited the Bright Hockey Center for an exhibition contest yesterday, it was a similarly give-and-take affair, as Harvard’s freshmen powered the Crimson to a 6-3 victory. “I thought both teams battled very hard,” said Harvard coach Ted Donato ’91. “I give PEI a lot of credit—they really stuck with...
