The Romance of Felicity & Gus really began in Season Two, when Gus came to Avonlea, and Felicity, wondering if she will die without ever being kissed, receives her first, from young Gus. Although this romance was a bit one-sided, on Gus's part, for quite a while, the earnest and hardworking Gus soon began to win over the prideful and sometimes arrogant Felicity's heart. Alas, the course of true love never runs smoothly and there were several misunderstandings and broken engagements between the couple, until Felicity finally agreed to marry Gus and settle down to life in Avonlea...then fate dealt a cruel blow to the young couple, when Gus's ship went down in the Atlantic and all hands were accounted as lost.

...time passed and Felicity was finally convinced to move on with her life, and she accepted the proposal of the kindly banker, Stuart McRae, who had fallen in love with Felicity as they worked together to build the Avonlea Foundling Home. A phone call from the Carolinas, mere weeks before their wedding, sparked something in the heart of Felicity that she thought had been set aside. Hope. Gus was alive! Once again, Felicity and Gus faced an unsure future, but this time it was Felicity who was the more mature, and Gus, surprisingly, behaving in a stubborn and strong-willed manner. Alls well that ends well, however, and we leave Avonlea with Gus and Felicity happily married and expecting the birth of their first child in the Spring.

The tune playing is "She's Like the Swallow", and old Canadian folk tune, that was Eliza Pike's favourite. For the lyrics, please click here.
