Gilbert Blythe

Basically the more modern version of Mr. Darcy. You can do the multiplication table by his freckles, and he has curly brown hair and hazel eyes that match perfectly with his roguish grin. If you ever find a Gilbert Blythe, you need to keep him before he gets away. He's the epitome of perfection.
Me: "Have you seen the new Gilbert Blythe at school?"
Anne Shirley: "Who?"
