“You haven’t many neighbours, Mistress Blythe,” Captain Jim went on. “This side of the harbour is mighty thinly settled. Most of the land belongs to Mr. Howard up yander past the Glen, and he rents it out for pasture. The other side of the harbour now, is thick with folks — ‘specially MacAllisters. There’s a whole colony of MacAllisters you can’t throw a stone but you hit one.” —Anne’s House of Dreams

The Four Winds district mentioned in “Anne’s House of Dreams” consists of three major settlements, all situated along the harbor. The Four Winds Socks remind me of the waves crashing up against the land on a warm breezy day.
