Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but I looked up Mary Royce and couldn't find anything that showed her to be a fictional or historical character. Also, the way Anne speaks of Mary Royce and asks Gilbert, 'Don't you remember?' makes me think the love story of Mary Royce is personal, not something they might have learnt in school. But that's just conjecture on my part.

I think I might ask some scholars or societies, such as L.M. Montgomery Online, as the person who runs that site (Benjamin Lefebvre) edited TBAQ and might be able to shed some light on the matter.
