1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:03,422
What sorts of things are being said?

2
00:00:03,551 --> 00:00:07,742
Well, Hattie Pringle: you are
accused of marking down her papers

3
00:00:07,812 --> 00:00:10,596
just because she is a Pringle.

4
00:00:11,458 --> 00:00:15,640
Here you are said to laugh at the
students when they make mistakes.

5
00:00:15,665 --> 00:00:19,957
What?! Well, alright, I did

6
00:00:20,089 --> 00:00:25,592
laugh when Myra Pringle defined an
alligator as a large kind of insect.
I couldn't help myself.

7
00:00:28,346 --> 00:00:29,424
Oh, dear.

8
00:00:29,555 --> 00:00:32,508
Mr. James Pringle, the father of
Jen Pringle,

9
00:00:33,111 --> 00:00:36,875
claims that there is no discipline
whatsoever at the school since your arrival

10
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:42,742
and he is circulating the report
that you are a, quote, um, a
foundling, unquote.

11
00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:48,437
Well, it goes on and on. Almost
every Pringle parent has written the board

12
00:00:48,487 --> 00:00:51,653
demanding--not requesting--demanding
your resignation.

13
00:00:52,657 --> 00:00:57,816
Cantankerous, prejudiced old
creatures! How can anyone possibly
succeed against such tactics?

14
00:00:57,841 --> 00:01:00,378
I'm so sorry, Anne. I do feel responsible.

15
00:01:00,621 --> 00:01:05,234
Well, on behalf of the 15 students
who aren't Pringles, I'm determined
to persevere.

16
00:01:07,085 --> 00:01:13,453
Capt. Harris has withdrawn his
rather substantial financial support toward the college mortgage

17
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:17,373
and several of the other Pringle
families are threatening to do the same.

18
00:01:17,755 --> 00:01:22,214
I see. So, you want me to resign, as well?

19
00:01:22,555 --> 00:01:24,712
Never! The board wants you to resign.

20
00:01:24,849 --> 00:01:28,632
I want you to stay here and make
these Pringles eat their words.

21
00:01:28,769 --> 00:01:31,601
If money's deemed to be the power
behind this institution,

22
00:01:31,813 --> 00:01:36,308
well then you, my dear Anne, are
going to compensate for every single
penny that's been lost.

23
00:01:36,557 --> 00:01:38,820
But how? Shall I give up my salary?

24
00:01:39,027 --> 00:01:43,617
Oh, no, my dear. Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no. I'm going to insist

25
00:01:43,642 --> 00:01:46,515
that the board give you a
probationary term, at least until
Christmas.

26
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:52,704
In the meantime, might you consider
mounting a lavish benefit concert?

27
00:01:53,117 --> 00:01:57,196
Highlighting a play, perhaps, directed by a Miss Anne Shirley?

28
00:01:58,042 --> 00:02:02,210
It'd have to be something with a
number of superb roles in it, though.

29
00:02:02,557 --> 00:02:07,016
And strong dramatic content. The
audience will have to be completely
overwhelmed.

30
00:02:07,364 --> 00:02:11,610
I think every Pringle parent would
gladly pay to see their daughters'
names in the program, don't you think?

31
00:02:13,012 --> 00:02:18,273
Let's see. 100 tickets at $25 a ticket.

32
00:02:18,414 --> 00:02:23,890
Why, that makes exactly $2500.

33
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:29,270
Well, that's an outrageous price!
Do you honestly think anyone would
pay for that?

34
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,183
Yes. And all the money will go
directly to the school.

35
00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:38,488
You are perfectly ingenious, Miss Stacey.

36
00:02:39,642 --> 00:02:43,140
We'll show the Pringles the meaning
of the word capitalism.

37
00:02:44,912 --> 00:02:50,666
Just a moment, Anne. I think that
you should have a look at these old diaries.

38
00:02:50,691 --> 00:02:56,313
Mrs. Stanton, our librarian, and I
are preparing a history of Kingsport
and we literally stumbled accross
those in the archives.

39
00:02:56,642 --> 00:03:00,804
They were written by Capt. Abraham
Pringle, the founder of Kingsport.

40
00:03:04,977 --> 00:03:11,144
My dear Anne, if you want to win the
game, you have to understand the players.

41
00:03:11,434 --> 00:03:12,927
I see.

42
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,546
"And so, for the last time, the old teacher passed the cruel portrait

43
00:03:19,571 --> 00:03:22,602
of herself etched in the wall by
her former students.

44
00:03:23,526 --> 00:03:26,894
Gertrude glimpsed the old woman's
haughty loneliness

45
00:03:27,192 --> 00:03:29,860
as she retreated silently into the garden.

46
00:03:30,281 --> 00:03:33,980
Shortly thereafter, they learned
that the hand of death had touched her,

47
00:03:34,977 --> 00:03:38,640
and Gertrude was haunted by the
realization that she could never thank

48
00:03:38,665 --> 00:03:43,820
the woman who had silently given her
so much. It was more than she could bear."

49
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:52,920
At this point in the term, I should
like to dedicate this short story
to each of you young ladies

50
00:03:52,945 --> 00:03:57,736
who have made the first few weeks
here for me so meaningful.
Class dismissed.

51
00:04:02,515 --> 00:04:06,974
What are these girls crying for?
-I've been reading them a short story,
Miss Brooke.

52
00:04:10,914 --> 00:04:14,148
Good grief, crying over an English lesson.

53
00:04:16,484 --> 00:04:20,694
Miss Brooke is here to discuss my
suggestion of a play and benefit
concert, Anne.

54
00:04:20,821 --> 00:04:26,027
I think it's scandalous, but my
opinion matters little since the
school needs the funds.

55
00:04:27,159 --> 00:04:32,234
Exactly. I was hoping you would
assist me in the coaching, Miss Brooke.

56
00:04:32,372 --> 00:04:36,937
I don't know why you would, since
I had nothing to do with drawing
up this ridiculous scheme.

57
00:04:37,376 --> 00:04:41,953
The most important question is,
then, who shall play the leading
role of Mary Queen of Scots? I--

58
00:04:42,354 --> 00:04:47,513
We don't want any greenhorn in the
role. I'm not going to be associated
with anything that isn't successful.

59
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:51,043
Jen Pringle is the only one I can
think of who could play the part.

60
00:04:51,092 --> 00:04:53,515
No one else has the necessary
personality.

61
00:04:56,559 --> 00:05:00,171
I can't deny that Jen has a
natural flair for acting.

62
00:05:00,196 --> 00:05:04,358
Then it's all settled. Why, I think
that Miss Brooke will make an
excellent coach.

63
00:05:04,689 --> 00:05:09,812
And Miss McKay and Miss Kerr can do
the decorations, and I'll see to
the hiring of hall and the band.

64
00:05:10,298 --> 00:05:15,172
Perhaps I can even entice a famous
soprano from Fredericton to sing
between acts at no charge.

65
00:05:15,197 --> 00:05:19,375
I trust she'll sing for the creditors if the whole thing flops.

66
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,495
But don't say I didn't warn you.

67
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,301
"Help me! Help me!"
-Feel it.

68
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:53,776
"Let go of the queen!"
-Myra, since you're upstage,
don't hide your face.

69
00:05:54,436 --> 00:05:57,808
"Help me, my mistress."
-Have mercy.

70
00:05:58,083 --> 00:06:01,166
Mercy, nay. I am innocent.

71
00:06:03,215 --> 00:06:09,382
Save me, sweet lady.
-Will ye, slave, save me too?

72
00:06:09,407 --> 00:06:14,554
"Drag him away. Pluck his hands off her!"
-This scene looks ridiculous.

73
00:06:14,625 --> 00:06:16,942
I'm not going to lower myself any futher!

74
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:21,656
Hattie, you're as stiff as a poker.
-I can't help it. I don't want to
bruise myself.

75
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:26,956
If I can go down easily, I will.
-You've all seen Essie carrying on.

76
00:06:27,254 --> 00:06:28,997
Now do it this way.

77
00:06:30,571 --> 00:06:34,703
[Dramatically]
"I am innocent! Save me sweet lady!"

78
00:06:36,871 --> 00:06:41,366
Now the queen, she orders the guards
to halt, but the guards haul Rizzio away.

79
00:06:43,289 --> 00:06:44,948
Now, Hattie, you try it.

80
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:50,976
"I am innocent! Save me, sweet lady."

81
00:06:53,115 --> 00:06:55,984
I refuse to play opposite her!

82
00:06:56,235 --> 00:07:00,730
She is the only one who can be
remotely convincing as an Italian musician.

83
00:07:02,198 --> 00:07:04,242
Do what you can, Miss Brooke.

84
00:07:04,267 --> 00:07:07,433
Well, don't blame me if the audience leaves.

85
00:07:08,954 --> 00:07:12,653
Once more, Hattie. And please, relax.

86
00:07:16,527 --> 00:07:19,195
Emmeline! Emmeline!

87
00:07:19,420 --> 00:07:22,171
What is it? What is it?

88
00:07:26,426 --> 00:07:28,714
We missed having you in our play.

89
00:07:29,636 --> 00:07:32,755
And I am so sorry about what
happened with your father.

90
00:07:32,975 --> 00:07:37,849
Once everythings calmed down, I'm
hoping I can get a chance to speak
with him and try to explain.

91
00:07:39,227 --> 00:07:42,429
He isn't here. He's gone back to Boston.

92
00:07:43,571 --> 00:07:46,690
Oh, Miss Shirley,
I've always wanted to do a play.

93
00:07:47,485 --> 00:07:50,271
I haven't had much of a chance to
do anything.

94
00:07:52,321 --> 00:07:54,811
Papa will never let me come back to the school.

95
00:07:55,078 --> 00:07:58,814
I'm to spend the rest of the year
with grandmama...alone.

96
00:07:58,951 --> 00:08:01,008
Oh, Emmeline.

97
00:08:02,788 --> 00:08:07,414
Perhaps I can get another copy of
the play. And I'll coach you at home.

98
00:08:08,083 --> 00:08:11,285
I'm sure your father, he'll let you
come back to the college next term.

99
00:08:11,419 --> 00:08:14,751
I don't think so. And I don't
think my grandmama will either.

100
00:08:15,256 --> 00:08:18,540
I had to sneak out while she and
Aunt Pauline were napping.

101
00:08:21,886 --> 00:08:26,677
Is someone helping you along with
your studies? You don't want to
fall behind.

102
00:08:29,781 --> 00:08:36,017
Well, then I shall have to have a
chat with your grandmama.
-Will you?

103
00:08:37,961 --> 00:08:41,376
You should hurry along home.
You don't want to get her cross.

104
00:08:41,693 --> 00:08:45,689
And I promise, I will come by
tomorrow and I will speak with her.

105
00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:53,323
Oh, it's number 10 Maple Terrace.
You won't forget.

106
00:08:53,453 --> 00:08:56,157
Of course not. Off you go.

107
00:09:31,001 --> 00:09:31,733
Yes?

108
00:09:31,758 --> 00:09:35,686
I should like to speak with Mrs. Harris.
My name is A--
-You can't. She's ill and

109
00:09:35,726 --> 00:09:40,531
won't be disturbed. Good day.
-May I speak with Emmeline Harris, then?

110
00:09:41,115 --> 00:09:43,984
She isn't allowed to have visitors.

111
00:09:44,414 --> 00:09:47,568
Is Capt. Harris coming back to--?
-He lives in Boston, Miss.

112
00:09:47,704 --> 00:09:49,411
Seldom visits here.

113
00:09:50,191 --> 00:09:53,601
Could you tell Emmeline that Anne
Shirley came to see her?

114
00:09:54,501 --> 00:09:55,698
Thank you.

115
00:10:23,732 --> 00:10:25,889
"My Dear Mrs. Harris, ...

116
00:10:27,819 --> 00:10:31,815
I thought you might be interested
in these diaries

117
00:10:31,947 --> 00:10:34,947
belonging to Capt. Abraham Pringle,

118
00:10:35,074 --> 00:10:36,773
which I found in the city archives.

119
00:10:37,711 --> 00:10:44,452
There are some wonderful tributes
in here by Capt. Pringle to your
late husband, Capt. Harris.

120
00:10:44,457 --> 00:10:47,297
I hope you enjoy reading them as
much as I did.

121
00:10:47,626 --> 00:10:52,359
Sincerely, Anne Shirley,
Kingsport Ladies' College."

122
00:10:55,174 --> 00:10:59,797
I have a delivery here for a Miss Shirley.

123
00:11:00,928 --> 00:11:03,383
Well, you're in luck. I am Miss Shirley.

124
00:11:04,056 --> 00:11:05,253
Thank you.

125
00:11:19,067 --> 00:11:22,731
So, then, it's tomorrow at noon,
is it, Mrs. Harris?

126
00:11:47,006 --> 00:11:49,045
Miss Shirley, Madam.

127
00:11:54,070 --> 00:11:57,820
Mama! Mama!
-Good grief, girl, you're aggravating.

128
00:11:58,047 --> 00:11:59,472
Miss Shirley.

129
00:12:01,022 --> 00:12:04,187
What?
-Miss Shirley.

130
00:12:08,163 --> 00:12:11,522
Satan life, why didn't you say
so in the first place?

131
00:12:14,236 --> 00:12:18,149
So this is the infamous Miss Shirley?

132
00:12:18,281 --> 00:12:21,447
Come to take her pound of flesh,
I see.

133
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,447
How do you do, Mrs. Harris?
-Far from well.

134
00:12:27,775 --> 00:12:30,941
How much do you want for these diaries?

135
00:12:31,606 --> 00:12:34,061
I hadn't any intention of selling them.

136
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:39,586
Is there any use in asking you to
sit down?

137
00:12:40,757 --> 00:12:43,054
Yes, thank you.

138
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,749
Who else has seen these?

139
00:12:48,673 --> 00:12:50,539
No one, as far as I know.

140
00:12:52,933 --> 00:12:55,802
Then I am ready to negotiate.

141
00:12:56,227 --> 00:12:58,764
I will give you what you want,

142
00:12:59,855 --> 00:13:03,057
if you'll give me your word

143
00:13:03,191 --> 00:13:08,101
not to reveal this monstrosity to
the rest of the Pringles.

144
00:13:09,196 --> 00:13:13,351
I was only hoping I might convince
you to let me to tutor your granddaughter, Emmeline,

145
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:16,235
as I understand she will
not be returning to school.

146
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:21,735
Oh, clever, aren't we?
Sugar-coated blackmail.

147
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:27,783
You want a regular salary to
keep you quiet, is that it?

148
00:13:29,067 --> 00:13:31,000
I beg your pardon?

149
00:13:31,452 --> 00:13:34,452
Innocent as doves;
cunning as serpents.

150
00:13:35,410 --> 00:13:40,070
You knew when you found that
scandalous entry about my husband,
it wasn't true.

151
00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:45,984
It couldn't be true. The rest of
the Pringles will be delighted to
believe it, won't they,

152
00:13:46,306 --> 00:13:49,425
and make us the laughing stock of
Kingsport.

153
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:56,687
Which scandalous entry?
-Oh, so there's more than one, is there?

154
00:13:57,728 --> 00:13:58,820
Pauline.

155
00:14:09,305 --> 00:14:13,551
"Josiah Harris' ship was burned and the boats taken.

156
00:14:14,672 --> 00:14:17,506
Harris and the crew nearly starved.

157
00:14:18,175 --> 00:14:23,049
In the end, they-- they ate Jonas Selkirk

158
00:14:23,971 --> 00:14:26,378
who had shot himself.

159
00:14:27,641 --> 00:14:30,973
They lived on him until rescued.

160
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:33,542
Harris told me himself.

161
00:14:34,038 --> 00:14:36,658
Seemed to think it was a good joke."

162
00:14:40,051 --> 00:14:44,094
On occasion, papa would get so angry--
-Pauline! Be quiet!

163
00:14:45,263 --> 00:14:47,504
That is a lie.

164
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,889
My husband never ate anyone,
dead or alive.

165
00:14:51,018 --> 00:14:53,508
Let alone, Jonas Selkirk.

166
00:14:53,770 --> 00:14:58,430
Abraham Pringle wrote that nonsense
to get a rise out of his silly wife.

167
00:14:58,591 --> 00:15:01,793
Amy Pringle was notoriously gullible.

168
00:15:02,422 --> 00:15:05,875
Oh, please, Miss Shirley.
Don't show these to anyone.

169
00:15:06,562 --> 00:15:10,265
Our Pringle relations might publicize it. We'll do anything.

170
00:15:10,289 --> 00:15:10,766
Ow!

171
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:17,937
Now, Miss Shirley. How much do you
want to tutor my granddaughter?

172
00:15:19,524 --> 00:15:22,168
Why, you've misunderstood me completely.

173
00:15:22,193 --> 00:15:24,101
I'm not threatening you.

174
00:15:24,611 --> 00:15:28,026
I just thought you'd enjoy all the
other splendid things said about
your husband.

175
00:15:28,823 --> 00:15:32,440
I never dreamed of telling anyone
he was a cannibal.

176
00:15:35,203 --> 00:15:42,711
Well, naturally, we tend to be a
little suspicious of strangers in
Kingsport.

177
00:15:43,890 --> 00:15:46,854
Perhaps we have misjudged you.

178
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:51,336
I suppose the child should
continue with her studies.

179
00:15:52,181 --> 00:15:55,216
Pauline has no time; she's busy
looking after me.

180
00:15:58,479 --> 00:16:02,725
You won't mention this
misunderstanding to anyone, will you?

181
00:16:04,699 --> 00:16:07,450
I'll try to remember not to.

182
00:16:10,173 --> 00:16:12,046
And when do you want to start?

183
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:14,945
Immediately.

184
00:16:17,783 --> 00:16:23,866
These two angles of the triangle
are equal to each other. The two
sides opposite these angles are
equal to each other.

185
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,362
Emmeline, why hasn't anyone
replaced your spectacles?

186
00:16:29,699 --> 00:16:32,782
Well, papa says I don't really
need to wear them as much as I do.

187
00:16:33,976 --> 00:16:36,347
And grandmama won't because she's
an old skinflint.

188
00:16:37,355 --> 00:16:41,683
Who gave you those, then?
-Mother Superior at the convent in
Boston two years ago.

189
00:16:42,453 --> 00:16:45,066
Anyway, I'm only supposed to use
them for reading.

190
00:16:45,091 --> 00:16:48,414
You simply cannot use them anymore. You must have another pair.

191
00:16:54,914 --> 00:16:59,109
I found another copy of Mary--
-"Mary Queen of Scots"!

192
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:02,437
Oh, her very name just thrills me
to my fingertips.

193
00:17:03,061 --> 00:17:06,476
I don't believe she really murdered
Darnley, do you?

194
00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:10,429
Shh! Heaven help you two if you
wake her up.

195
00:17:11,268 --> 00:17:13,343
I think it's ever so dramatic,
don't you?

196
00:17:14,414 --> 00:17:18,816
It's a very challenging role.
-We used to have dramatics and
music at the convent.

197
00:17:19,645 --> 00:17:22,265
Mother Superior said I was quite
good at both.

198
00:17:22,734 --> 00:17:24,690
She taught me to play the piano,
too, you know.

199
00:17:25,615 --> 00:17:28,105
Unfortunately, grandmama won't let
me touch it.

200
00:17:29,290 --> 00:17:32,456
Could we read it together?
-I think so.

201
00:17:32,975 --> 00:17:36,259
I'll play all of the other parts, and you read Mary.

202
00:17:37,341 --> 00:17:38,585
Let's start here.

203
00:17:39,938 --> 00:17:45,310
"Forgive all evil toward me of all
men, deed or device to hurt me....

204
00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:50,743
"...Yea, I would not bear one heart unreconciled with mine when mine is cold.

205
00:17:51,133 --> 00:17:56,664
"I will not take Death's hand with
any soil of hate or wrath or wrong
about me.

206
00:17:57,133 --> 00:17:59,844
"But being friends with this past world,

207
00:18:00,588 --> 00:18:03,588
pass it in the general peace of love."

208
00:18:07,578 --> 00:18:09,146
That was wonderful!

209
00:18:09,546 --> 00:18:11,789
Thank you for bringing me, Miss Shirley.

210
00:18:12,452 --> 00:18:15,812
This will be our secret place which you cannot reveal to anyone.

211
00:18:17,581 --> 00:18:19,453
Grandmama never lets me out alone.

212
00:18:19,806 --> 00:18:23,174
She thinks I'm liable to be
kidnapped by gypsies.

213
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:29,679
I don't know why she'd care if I
was kidnapped by gypsies; all she
cares about is her aching back and sore feet.

214
00:18:30,133 --> 00:18:33,832
Now, now. Old people cling to the
way they were brought up themselves.

215
00:18:34,703 --> 00:18:36,742
Secretly she hates me.

216
00:18:37,078 --> 00:18:39,698
She always calls me "the child"

217
00:18:39,723 --> 00:18:41,928
as though I may be "the dog" or
"the cat."

218
00:18:42,684 --> 00:18:45,304
If I make a spark of noise, she
nearly passes out.

219
00:18:45,436 --> 00:18:49,432
She's and old tyrant and someday,
I'm going to run away forever

220
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,257
and become a real actress.

221
00:18:58,105 --> 00:19:01,188
Why have you never lived with your father?

222
00:19:01,823 --> 00:19:04,989
He's very occupied with his
business affairs.

223
00:19:05,938 --> 00:19:09,388
I was at two other boarding schools
before I came to this one.

224
00:19:09,778 --> 00:19:14,355
But he brought me here so I would
be close to grandmama and so he
wouldn't worry about me.

225
00:19:14,918 --> 00:19:17,206
I'm sure he means to do what's best.

226
00:19:20,244 --> 00:19:23,943
What Jen Pringle said about my
papa hurt, you know...

227
00:19:24,967 --> 00:19:26,544
Because it's true.

228
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:33,353
"Dear Papa, I want so much to
return to K.L.C.

229
00:19:34,773 --> 00:19:39,079
I'd like to ask you to allow me to
go back to K.L.C. next term.

230
00:19:39,104 --> 00:19:42,057
I was at the top of my class before
I left

231
00:19:42,231 --> 00:19:45,433
and hoped you'd be proud of my
grades.

232
00:19:46,818 --> 00:19:50,359
Please understand it was all a
mistake.

233
00:19:51,206 --> 00:19:56,570
I tried to reach you in Baltimore,
but I suppose you never received
the letter."

234
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:06,286
Miss Shirley is here for your
tutorial, Miss.
-Thank you.

235
00:20:19,050 --> 00:20:23,030
Miss Shirley! Grandmama will eat
you alive!

236
00:20:23,210 --> 00:20:27,478
We're to have our studies in this room. I simply cannot tolerate the
gloominess any longer.

237
00:20:28,406 --> 00:20:30,299
I have a wonderful surprise for you.

238
00:20:30,436 --> 00:20:35,179
Miss Stacey has lent me a Royal
Conservatory program and you can
begin today.

239
00:20:35,554 --> 00:20:38,492
I can't. Grandmama has forbidden me...
-Fiddlesticks!

240
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:41,984
It's high time someone reminded your
grandmama what a piano sounds like.

241
00:20:43,211 --> 00:20:47,922
Uh, and it shouldn't be me. You can
start with these elementary
exercises as a refresher course.

242
00:20:48,469 --> 00:20:52,194
But, it is a step in the right
direction.

243
00:20:52,741 --> 00:20:55,760
I'll get your textbooks. Play!

244
00:21:19,099 --> 00:21:22,851
Pauline! Come in here, girl.

245
00:21:24,128 --> 00:21:28,504
We will answer and we will
tell them we cannot accept.

246
00:21:29,844 --> 00:21:32,065
Mama wants her stationary, Abigail.

247
00:21:32,732 --> 00:21:36,064
Who on earth is making that
confounded racket?

248
00:21:36,505 --> 00:21:39,540
That piano isn't meant
to be played!

249
00:21:43,281 --> 00:21:45,804
Get away from there, child!

250
00:21:45,992 --> 00:21:52,476
Who gave you permission to play
that piano?
- I'm sorry, Mrs. Harris, but
Emmeline must be allowed to devote
some time to musical studies.

251
00:21:52,781 --> 00:21:55,648
I don't believe in young girls
playing the piano in public.

252
00:21:56,054 --> 00:21:58,625
It tends to make them bold
and forward.

253
00:21:59,695 --> 00:22:02,772
I..., I think perhaps you are wise,
Mrs. Harris.

254
00:22:03,473 --> 00:22:07,719
However, I am told that most of the
young Pringle girls in Kingsport
have private lessons.

255
00:22:08,654 --> 00:22:13,172
And..
I just wouldn't want to be accused of negligence in Emmeline's proper upbringing.

256
00:22:14,890 --> 00:22:19,094
Well, who gave you permission to
open those windows?

257
00:22:20,761 --> 00:22:25,718
I just wanted your staff to see how
dusty this room is. It needs a
thorough going over.

258
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:30,783
Well, have it your way. You young
people are all so giddy.

259
00:22:31,625 --> 00:22:34,616
Pauline wants to go away and
leave me.

260
00:22:34,859 --> 00:22:39,334
It's only for the day, mama.
-"Only for the day," says she.

261
00:22:39,867 --> 00:22:44,016
It never seems to occur to anyone
that I'd like a day out of this
confounded wheelchair.

262
00:22:44,476 --> 00:22:48,953
You may not have the use of you legs, grandmama, but there's nothing the matter with your tongue.

263
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:52,250
Don't you dare to be impertinent, child!

264
00:22:52,570 --> 00:22:57,087
I know a girl who died in her sleep
after being impertinent.

265
00:23:00,157 --> 00:23:01,983
Pauline, what is it?

266
00:23:04,437 --> 00:23:10,131
Uh, my cousin Louisa is celebrating
her wedding anniversary in
Fredericton next week.

267
00:23:10,164 --> 00:23:14,836
And now, I was her bridesmaid fifteen
years ago and I'd do anything to
be there.

268
00:23:15,422 --> 00:23:19,381
Well, if I die alone while you're away,

269
00:23:19,406 --> 00:23:23,890
Pauline, I'll leave it to your
conscience. I know what a burden I
can be.

270
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:27,164
Mama, please don't excite yourself.
I'm not going to go if you're not--

271
00:23:27,189 --> 00:23:28,693
I will excite myself.

272
00:23:29,125 --> 00:23:33,094
Can't I have a little excitement
to brighten my dull life?

273
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:43,334
Oh, my back. My back, it hurts.
Close that confounded window, girl.

274
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:48,252
I can feel the draft. Pauline,
get my Afghan and a cushion for
my feet. Oh!

275
00:23:49,024 --> 00:23:49,477
Oh!

276
00:23:50,844 --> 00:23:56,859
Well, you know how people will talk,
Mrs. Harris, if Pauline doesn't go
to the anniversary.

277
00:23:57,344 --> 00:24:00,209
What?
-Oh, I'm sure in your long lifetime

278
00:24:00,234 --> 00:24:02,304
you've learned what idle tongues
can say.

279
00:24:02,922 --> 00:24:05,539
Well, there's no need to throw my
age up in my face, girl.

280
00:24:05,969 --> 00:24:10,586
Oh, this town is full of tattling
toadies, and don't I know it.

281
00:24:10,969 --> 00:24:15,500
Well, I'm not stopping her.
I left it to her own conscience.

282
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:18,406
No one would ever believe that
excuse.

283
00:24:19,726 --> 00:24:25,679
Miss Shirley and I can even stay
with you, grandmama.
-Why, Pauline could probably be
there and back in a day.

284
00:24:26,406 --> 00:24:29,226
There's something behind all this,
isn't there?

285
00:24:30,015 --> 00:24:32,789
Why are you so set on her going?

286
00:24:33,054 --> 00:24:36,012
Because she's a good, kind daughter
who needs a day off now and then.

287
00:24:37,133 --> 00:24:39,670
Never mind her weedily ways. Have a peppermint.

288
00:24:41,312 --> 00:24:44,425
Oh. Oh, my head.

289
00:24:45,095 --> 00:24:49,787
Oh, I've got such a pain in my head
and I'm so tired I can't argue
anymore.

290
00:24:49,812 --> 00:24:51,884
I suppose that means I'm going to
have a stroke.

291
00:24:59,484 --> 00:25:04,545
Alright, you can go. But, if you catch flu and get sick,

292
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:06,108
don't blame me.

293
00:25:06,953 --> 00:25:11,047
Oh, thank you, mama! Thank you!
You're so good to me.

294
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,562
I wanted to go to cousin Louisa's
so much,

295
00:25:14,422 --> 00:25:20,570
Oh, mama, I only have this old black
taffeta to wear. Do you think--
-Black taffeta is quite good enough
for Louisa Hilton's wedding.

296
00:25:21,390 --> 00:25:26,062
She'd dress in scarlet, that one,
if I'd let her and she's only
waiting till I'm dead to do it.

297
00:25:27,539 --> 00:25:31,640
As long as I'm alive you will be
decent, Pauline Harris.

298
00:25:31,890 --> 00:25:37,195
Alright, mama.  I'm just going to
be glad inside and not even think
about what I'm wearing.

299
00:25:38,508 --> 00:25:41,961
And I'm sure that you'll get along
with Miss Shirley splendidly, mama.

300
00:25:45,422 --> 00:25:52,873
"I will not take Death's hand with
any soil of hate or wrath or wrong
about me.

301
00:25:53,531 --> 00:25:56,297
But being friends with this past
world,

302
00:25:56,726 --> 00:26:00,592
pass from it in the general
peace of love."

303
00:26:09,789 --> 00:26:13,125
Well, you've all done remarkably
well and deserve multitudes of
praise.

304
00:26:13,234 --> 00:26:16,120
Now make sure you have your lines
down pat for next Friday's
rehearsal.

305
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,071
And, before you all go,
I have one announcement to make.

306
00:26:19,202 --> 00:26:25,285
Mrs. Capt. Josiah Harris and her granddaughter Emmeline
would be pleased to invite you to a fall picnic tomorrow morning.

307
00:26:29,085 --> 00:26:32,251
Now, if you care to attend, we'll
be meeting at Maplehurst at 10am.

308
00:26:32,379 --> 00:26:38,094
Oh, please bring a small gift for
Mrs. Harris out of politeness for
her generosity in hosting this event.

309
00:26:38,509 --> 00:26:40,002
You can go home, now, girls.

310
00:26:43,956 --> 00:26:48,083
It's coming. Coming.
-They look wonderful.

311
00:26:50,268 --> 00:26:53,552
Quite a reaction from those old
diaries, Anne.

312
00:26:54,063 --> 00:26:59,648
It goes to show you how my old students always pull through.
-Don't speak too loudly, yet.

313
00:27:00,651 --> 00:27:05,691
I just received a letter from
Gilbert Blythe. It seems he's
finally in medical school.

314
00:27:05,822 --> 00:27:10,062
I know. Well, how's he doing?
-Well, you know Gilbert's so modest.

315
00:27:10,226 --> 00:27:15,530
But reading between the lines,
I'd say he's top of his class. He
wanted to know how you are doing, as well.

316
00:27:16,739 --> 00:27:19,351
Well, you may tell him I'm keeping
out of mischief.

317
00:27:32,032 --> 00:27:33,407
Come in.

318
00:27:33,761 --> 00:27:38,328
It's only me, Pauline.
-Oh, Miss Shirley. How do I look?

319
00:27:38,975 --> 00:27:42,758
Dreadful! You simply cannot go in
that old thing.

320
00:27:46,507 --> 00:27:48,748
I'm going to lend you my best dress.

321
00:27:49,139 --> 00:27:53,375
Oh, my dear. No, no, no.
I'm on tender hooks as it is.
Mama might change her mind.

322
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:59,339
Don't be silly. Get up, and take
this black taffeta off. You can
put this on underneath and change
at the party.

323
00:27:59,364 --> 00:28:01,936
Oh, but-- but-- but to deceive
mama, I--

324
00:28:02,095 --> 00:28:06,222
You wouldn't want to bring bad luck
to a wedding anniversary wearing
that black thing, would you?

325
00:28:06,699 --> 00:28:08,043
No.

326
00:28:14,658 --> 00:28:19,568
Oh, oh, oh, no. Now, just a whiff.
Mama won't approve of this.

327
00:28:24,009 --> 00:28:28,133
Oh, apple blossom. Oh, how this
reminds me of Adelaide Pringle when she--

328
00:28:28,801 --> 00:28:31,006
Who?
-Morgan's wife.

329
00:28:31,348 --> 00:28:35,807
Mother of the child. She was my
first cousin on mama's side.

330
00:28:40,063 --> 00:28:41,391
I see.

331
00:28:42,815 --> 00:28:45,768
Pauline, why does your
brother never visit?

332
00:28:45,901 --> 00:28:49,067
Oh, Morgan, he's become just become
just like papa,

333
00:28:49,195 --> 00:28:52,320
always ordering people about, no
time for anyone else.

334
00:28:53,883 --> 00:28:57,197
Morgan used to be so robust and
handsome,

335
00:28:57,327 --> 00:29:00,362
and Adelaide used to love music
and parties...

336
00:29:01,283 --> 00:29:02,875
What happened?

337
00:29:03,332 --> 00:29:07,280
Well, it's not Christian to speak
of the dead.

338
00:29:08,554 --> 00:29:10,676
Well, how did she die, then?

339
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:16,688
She ran off shortly after the
child was born, and died of
consumption.

340
00:29:17,665 --> 00:29:21,329
The Pringles all blamed Morgan,
including mama.

341
00:29:21,679 --> 00:29:24,347
But it wasn't Morgan's fault.

342
00:29:24,807 --> 00:29:28,969
Now mama won't have anything about
that reminds her of what happened
to Adelaide.

343
00:29:30,770 --> 00:29:32,762
But that's wrong, Pauline.

344
00:29:33,879 --> 00:29:37,496
What make people on this town hold
such grudges against one other?

345
00:29:38,578 --> 00:29:43,518
Oh, the Pringles have always
bickered a great deal amongst
themselves.

346
00:29:43,709 --> 00:29:49,062
We're very polite to each other in public.
-I've never seen such ridiculous behavior.

347
00:29:49,087 --> 00:29:50,995
It is absolutely Byzantine.

348
00:29:54,089 --> 00:29:59,164
Well, in any case, Pauline Harris,
you are going to have the day off
of your life.

349
00:30:04,614 --> 00:30:10,651
Good morning, Mrs. Harris.
-Walking as if we owned the world,
are we?

350
00:30:10,878 --> 00:30:13,747
So I do. Come along, Pauline.

351
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:19,053
I'm ready to go, mama.

352
00:30:19,287 --> 00:30:22,702
Too much color, girl. You look
painted.

353
00:30:22,727 --> 00:30:24,884
Oh, no it's just, I'm flushed.

354
00:30:25,523 --> 00:30:29,566
And you don't smell respectable
drenched in scent.

355
00:30:30,942 --> 00:30:36,117
It's just the tiniest little bit of--
- I said drenched and I meant drenched!

356
00:30:36,767 --> 00:30:38,557
Turn around.

357
00:30:39,616 --> 00:30:42,900
Is that a rip under that sleeve?

358
00:30:47,122 --> 00:30:50,988
No, mama.
-Oh. Remember your manners.

359
00:30:52,126 --> 00:30:55,126
And don't forget to cross your
ankles decently when you sit down.

360
00:30:55,151 --> 00:31:00,906
And don't sit in a draft, either.
And don't slide down the banisters.

361
00:31:00,931 --> 00:31:01,844
Mama!

362
00:31:01,869 --> 00:31:03,485
Well, you did it at Nancy
Pringle's wedding.

363
00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:07,488
Mama, that was 25 years ago!
What do you think I am?

364
00:31:08,043 --> 00:31:12,205
Go on, girl. Don't stand there jabbering.
Do you want to miss your train?

365
00:31:12,267 --> 00:31:14,259
Uh. No, mama.

366
00:31:14,501 --> 00:31:20,123
And if I'm not here when you come
back, remember, leave me out in my
wedding dress and mind my hair is crimped.

367
00:31:20,335 --> 00:31:24,414
I don't know how you'll manage her,
Miss Shirley. She's such a baby.

368
00:31:31,351 --> 00:31:35,264
I never thought I'd ever get a
chance to visit Maplehurst.

369
00:31:41,164 --> 00:31:45,575
Hattie! Hattie Pringle, get away
from there! That's Mrs. Harris'
carriage.

370
00:31:46,773 --> 00:31:49,744
This is outrageous! I haven't
been outside...

371
00:31:50,179 --> 00:31:53,162
If I catch a cold, girl, I shall
hold you responsible.

372
00:31:53,187 --> 00:31:57,765
Nonsense. I want you to enjoy the
sunshine and all the beautiful
autumn colors.

373
00:31:58,187 --> 00:32:02,672
We'll have a lovely carriage ride.
And you can criticize everyone as
you pass by.

374
00:32:02,773 --> 00:32:07,766
Criticize? That's a very strange
idea, Miss Shirley.

375
00:32:07,791 --> 00:32:10,993
That is not Christian. It's simply
not Christian.

376
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,320
What is the meaning of this, Miss
Shirley? I won't stand anymore of
your monkeyshines.

377
00:32:17,437 --> 00:32:20,031
They're such handsome carriages
and you never use them.

378
00:32:20,056 --> 00:32:24,491
You put them back, you hear?
They've not been out for seven years.

379
00:32:24,498 --> 00:32:28,109
All the more reason to bring them
out and use them. Stop being so
selfish.

380
00:32:28,659 --> 00:32:31,359
Good morning, girls!
You look lovely.

381
00:32:31,384 --> 00:32:35,131
You wheel me back in, you hear?
This is anarchy!

382
00:32:35,467 --> 00:32:38,336
Who are these rabble rousers?

383
00:32:40,469 --> 00:32:45,426
Oh, dear saints above, I shall
swoon. I can't stand all
this fresh air.

384
00:32:45,658 --> 00:32:49,476
It's such a pretty day. I thought
you could host a picnic for the
school.

385
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,484
I don't eat my lunch outside with anyone, girl.

386
00:32:52,509 --> 00:32:56,586
I'm not a raggle-taggle gypsy!
Take me in! Take me in!
-Hush, Mrs. Harris.

387
00:32:57,224 --> 00:32:59,714
Some of these girls are Pringles.
-Pringles?

388
00:32:59,926 --> 00:33:03,210
Yes, and you don't want them
running home and telling tales.

389
00:33:03,346 --> 00:33:07,556
You'll pay for this.
If I catch a chill...

390
00:33:07,683 --> 00:33:11,810
You said you wanted a day off from
your wheelchair, anyway, grandmama.
-Be quiet!

391
00:33:16,148 --> 00:33:20,892
Good morning, Mrs. Harris.
You look awfully chipper.

392
00:33:21,026 --> 00:33:23,812
Thank you, Alec McGuiness.
Thank you.

393
00:33:25,155 --> 00:33:31,519
Well, what does it matter if I die
anyway? I've been living on
borrowed time for too long as it is.

394
00:33:56,471 --> 00:33:58,676
Such friendly people.

395
00:33:58,806 --> 00:34:05,222
Charming neighbors. You know, I don't
approve of criticizing people, my dear.

396
00:34:05,728 --> 00:34:09,875
No. May I ask, is that all your
own hair?

397
00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:11,856
Yes, every bit.

398
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:17,734
Hmm. Pity it's red. But I believe
red is becoming quite popular again.

399
00:34:18,447 --> 00:34:19,765
Thank you.

400
00:34:27,206 --> 00:34:31,414
You girls are late. What happened,
Jen? Was your maid sick again?

401
00:34:59,271 --> 00:35:00,539
And another one?

402
00:35:00,564 --> 00:35:04,289
Oh, how delightful.
Now thank you, my dear.

403
00:35:04,650 --> 00:35:07,222
This is my gift to you, Emmeline.

404
00:35:11,226 --> 00:35:15,295
Oh, Miss Shirley. However did
you pay for this?

405
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,953
I had some lucky savings put aside.

406
00:35:20,497 --> 00:35:23,663
Oh, thank you a million times over!

407
00:35:23,790 --> 00:35:25,687
Someday I'll make it up to you.

408
00:35:30,497 --> 00:35:34,363
Now, wasn't that sweet of all these
girls to give me gifts?

409
00:35:35,342 --> 00:35:36,717
Yes, it was.

410
00:35:37,591 --> 00:35:42,714
I rather like your laugh, Miss
Shirley. That nervous giggle of
Pauline's gets on my nerves.

411
00:35:44,305 --> 00:35:46,593
Well, I hope she has a wonderful time at the party.

412
00:35:47,490 --> 00:35:51,782
She's probably overeaten and made
herself ill. Like her father, that girl.

413
00:35:51,943 --> 00:35:55,026
He never knew when he had enough.
Hmph.

414
00:35:56,419 --> 00:36:00,414
Did I ever show you Josiah's
picture, Miss Shirley?

415
00:36:01,152 --> 00:36:03,060
Why he was very handsome.

416
00:36:04,947 --> 00:36:06,773
Full of heroic spirit, I'd say.

417
00:36:07,574 --> 00:36:11,191
Yes, he was the handsomest man in
Kingsport.

418
00:36:12,937 --> 00:36:14,312
And he adored me.

419
00:36:14,997 --> 00:36:19,622
We consulted each
other about absolutely everything.
Mind you, we didn't always agree.

420
00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:25,687
No. He had his fits of temper.
Oh, yes. And so did I. [laughs]

421
00:36:30,634 --> 00:36:35,045
Do you know what he did when I
bought a daycap he didn't like?

422
00:36:35,461 --> 00:36:37,453
I can't imagine.

423
00:36:37,998 --> 00:36:42,186
He ate it. It gave him a terrible
stomach pain.

424
00:36:42,211 --> 00:36:47,570
Yes, serves him right. He was so
irked that I had neglected to
consult him. [laughs/cries]

425
00:36:54,457 --> 00:36:58,204
How could he go away and leave me
alone and crippled like this?

426
00:36:59,286 --> 00:37:03,617
Dying was the only thing that he
ever dared to do without consulting me.

427
00:37:06,762 --> 00:37:09,217
Won't be long before we're
together again.

428
00:37:10,575 --> 00:37:16,446
There's no one--no man like him. No.

429
00:37:18,853 --> 00:37:22,019
This is a degenerate age,
Miss Shirley.

430
00:37:24,602 --> 00:37:26,309
What about your son?

431
00:37:27,674 --> 00:37:28,929
Morgan.

432
00:37:29,381 --> 00:37:34,456
Well, he managed his money
successfully, if that's any merit.

433
00:37:34,968 --> 00:37:37,047
His father spoiled him.

434
00:37:37,637 --> 00:37:41,005
Well, he should never have married
his cousin.

435
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,968
It's a blessing that poor Adelaide
Pringle died, dear soul.

436
00:37:47,228 --> 00:37:50,228
Morgan got what he deserved, I
suppose.

437
00:37:51,523 --> 00:37:55,000
That's a very inhuman attitude for
a mother, Mrs. Harris.

438
00:37:55,179 --> 00:37:59,117
Yes. Well, we're not exactly
famous for compassion,

439
00:37:59,948 --> 00:38:04,075
Miss Shirley, especially among
ourselves.

440
00:38:04,738 --> 00:38:09,000
Anyway, They're all waiting for me to die
so they can get their hands on the
money.

441
00:38:11,653 --> 00:38:15,732
Perhaps you ought to realize that
Emmeline only wants to be cared for.

442
00:38:16,524 --> 00:38:17,563
Well..

443
00:38:18,294 --> 00:38:22,540
If you have any compassion left
in your soul, you might spend it on her.

444
00:38:23,772 --> 00:38:26,060
Children should be seen and not
heard.

445
00:38:33,765 --> 00:38:38,734
You seem to be very broad-minded
in your opinions, Miss Shirley.

446
00:38:39,863 --> 00:38:44,405
That's the nicest compliment
anyone's ever paid me, Mrs. Harris.

447
00:38:53,414 --> 00:38:54,798
Pardon me, young man.

448
00:38:55,236 --> 00:38:59,731
I was wondering if you would allow
my girls and me the pleasure of a
hayride into town in your wagon?

449
00:39:00,249 --> 00:39:03,699
It would be so exciting for them,
and I promise they won't be any
trouble.

450
00:39:19,726 --> 00:39:20,945
Mama!

451
00:39:22,448 --> 00:39:23,594
Mama?

452
00:39:24,417 --> 00:39:27,200
You'll simply have to go. Good bye.

453
00:39:37,685 --> 00:39:39,311
Mama?

454
00:39:41,651 --> 00:39:45,226
Mama, what's happened?
Mama, are you alright?

455
00:39:46,539 --> 00:39:50,990
You're wearing a hat. Mama, I
can't remember the last time I--
-Pauline, will you calm yourself?

456
00:39:51,015 --> 00:39:55,283
You sound hysterical. Haven't you
seen me wear a hat often enough,
girl?

457
00:39:56,121 --> 00:40:01,804
Miss Shirley suggested an alfresco
lunch. It was most enjoyable.

458
00:40:03,406 --> 00:40:09,779
I've been so anxious about you,
mama. I was worried sick the entire
party.

459
00:40:09,804 --> 00:40:13,648
Will you stop fluttering, girl?
You fidget.

460
00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:19,198
Pauline, did you have a good time
at your wedding party?
-Oh, my, yes.

461
00:40:19,410 --> 00:40:24,062
Oh, Louisa sent you her your
bouquet, mama. The flowers were
wonderful.

462
00:40:24,225 --> 00:40:28,131
The parlor was a bower...
-Like a funeral, I suppose.

463
00:40:28,156 --> 00:40:32,719
And the minister married cousin
Louisa and Maurice all over again.
-Sacrilegious.

464
00:40:32,744 --> 00:40:37,547
Molly and Emily send their love.
And, oh, Emily has the most
delicious baby.

465
00:40:37,821 --> 00:40:41,983
You speak as though it was something
to eat. Babies are common enough.

466
00:40:43,048 --> 00:40:46,031
Babies are never common.
Each one is a miracle.

467
00:40:46,056 --> 00:40:51,179
Well, I had two of them. I didn't
see much that was miraculous about
either of them.

468
00:40:51,540 --> 00:40:56,125
Mama, you're so bright and cheerful
today. However did you two get
along, Miss Shirley?

469
00:40:56,285 --> 00:40:59,036
Well, that I have a head, and we
got on well enough.

470
00:41:00,422 --> 00:41:05,166
I don't care what the Pringles
say; I think you're quite good-
looking.

471
00:41:06,453 --> 00:41:07,911
Thank you.

472
00:41:11,806 --> 00:41:13,347
Oh, good grief!

473
00:41:15,216 --> 00:41:20,291
Well, well. "Little Bo-Peep has
lost her sheep and doesn't know
where to find them."

474
00:41:22,773 --> 00:41:27,232
Good day, Miss Kerr. After this,
I shall be surprised at nothing.

475
00:41:27,586 --> 00:41:33,171
"Leave them alone, and they'll
come home, bringing their tails
behind them."

476
00:41:57,776 --> 00:42:00,895
Get those sheep
and that wagon out of here!

477
00:42:01,356 --> 00:42:02,857
Papa!

478
00:42:07,858 --> 00:42:13,872
Emmeline! You were told to stop
wearing those ridiculous spectacles
outside.

479
00:42:13,897 --> 00:42:16,772
Your eyesight will never improve if
you constantly wear them--

480
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:21,506
Yes, papa, but Miss Shirley gave me
these new ones and I--
-Go inside.

481
00:42:22,236 --> 00:42:25,885
I mean immediately.
-But...

482
00:42:28,575 --> 00:42:29,855
Hurry up.

483
00:42:32,995 --> 00:42:35,663
Young man! Who is responsible
for this?

484
00:42:36,545 --> 00:42:38,952
Is this your wagon?

485
00:42:45,463 --> 00:42:50,420
Oh, thank you. We had a marvelous time.
-Miss Shirley. May I have a word
with you?

486
00:42:50,761 --> 00:42:53,547
You run along, Miss Kerr.
I'll catch up.

487
00:42:53,951 --> 00:42:55,492
Yes, sir.

488
00:42:55,604 --> 00:43:00,061
It seems that each time we meet,
a catastrophe lies in my way.

489
00:43:00,378 --> 00:43:02,413
Well, then perhaps you ought to
get out of the way.

490
00:43:03,957 --> 00:43:07,372
I get annoyed when people treat my
instructions lightly, Miss Shirley.

491
00:43:07,576 --> 00:43:13,038
I gave explicit orders that my
daughter was to have no further
association with Kingsport Ladies' College.

492
00:43:17,697 --> 00:43:22,436
Would you mind telling me what the
devil you're doing here?

493
00:43:22,461 --> 00:43:26,425
We have been on a country picnic,
sir. Hosted by your mother.

494
00:43:26,756 --> 00:43:32,897
My mother? She authorized taking
out all those carriages and inviting
all those girls?

495
00:43:33,936 --> 00:43:35,857
No, sir. I did.

496
00:43:36,962 --> 00:43:39,286
And as she has nothing better to
think about than herself,

497
00:43:39,545 --> 00:43:42,389
I thought that it was high time someone tried to help her.

498
00:43:42,734 --> 00:43:45,683
Then you really are as insane as
all the rumors I've heard about you.

499
00:43:46,085 --> 00:43:48,968
What have you heard?
-You wouldn't want to know.

500
00:43:49,284 --> 00:43:50,991
Yes, I would.

501
00:43:51,891 --> 00:43:55,425
The Pringles have labeled you the
"Mad-capped English Professor."

502
00:43:56,078 --> 00:44:01,842
Someone said you had written the
most ridiculous story they'd ever
read published by...

503
00:44:02,124 --> 00:44:04,822
something or other Reliable Baking
Powder Company.

504
00:44:04,828 --> 00:44:11,811
And that you were the silliest
red-headed mouse of a schoolmistress
they'd ever known.

505
00:44:12,432 --> 00:44:15,218
Thanks to you, I was very nearly fired!

506
00:44:16,031 --> 00:44:17,948
There's a logical explanation behind everything.

507
00:44:18,391 --> 00:44:23,265
But, you people really are the most
narrow-minded, self-centered,
quarrelsome group I have ever encountered.

508
00:44:24,180 --> 00:44:29,203
I'd like to poison your entire
clan. You can't stand to see anyone
succeed other than yourselves.

509
00:44:29,438 --> 00:44:32,963
I am sure you're all gloating over
who will fly the victory banner at
the end of this year.

510
00:44:33,659 --> 00:44:39,087
Well, you have not got the better of me, yet!
-Whoa! Come back here, miss.

511
00:44:39,623 --> 00:44:43,616
You're upset by what the Pringles
think of you?
-I don't care to discuss it, if you
don't mind.

512
00:44:43,641 --> 00:44:45,389
I'm sorry.

513
00:44:46,023 --> 00:44:50,036
You're afraid the Pringle rumors
might enforce my conclusions about you.

514
00:44:50,076 --> 00:44:53,180
Your conclusions? Don't flatter yourself!

515
00:44:53,531 --> 00:44:57,641
You might be interested in
listening to what I actually had to
say in your defense.

516
00:44:58,124 --> 00:45:02,047
You ought to look around and see if
there's anyone you like to listen to
better than yourself.

517
00:45:09,542 --> 00:45:13,076
I took it upon myself to see that
this was delivered to you.

518
00:45:15,232 --> 00:45:19,774
I'm sure you're far too busy to
forward a change of address to your
daughter.

519
00:45:19,945 --> 00:45:25,180
If you weren't so self-absorbed,
sir, you'd realize there's a little
girl who desperately loves you.

520
00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:27,651
You can go.

521
00:45:37,307 --> 00:45:41,336
Morgan! Oh, Miss Shirley, wait!
Morgan!

522
00:45:44,438 --> 00:45:46,595
I'll be right back. Miss Shirley!

523
00:45:51,906 --> 00:45:56,727
Oh, Miss Shirley, thank goodness
you didn't let mama see me getting
out of that fellow's carriage.

524
00:45:56,813 --> 00:46:01,414
Pauline, you're positively trembling.
-Oh, it was heavenly.

525
00:46:01,906 --> 00:46:08,125
I simply have to tell you
everything. Isaac Kent drove me home.

526
00:46:08,498 --> 00:46:13,991
He used to be an old beau of mine.
Well, no, hardly an old beau;

527
00:46:14,016 --> 00:46:19,320
he never had any real intentions.
But we did used to go driving around
together.

528
00:46:19,563 --> 00:46:23,187
He, um, paid me a compliment.

529
00:46:23,661 --> 00:46:29,934
He said, "Your hair looks as much
like molasses taffy as it ever did."

530
00:46:31,558 --> 00:46:37,061
I hope there wasn't anything improper in his saying that?
-Nothing whatsoever.

531
00:46:38,658 --> 00:46:43,781
He asked me to go driving again.
Heaven knows what mama's going to
say, but...

532
00:46:44,693 --> 00:46:46,981
I dont even care!

533
00:46:47,833 --> 00:46:52,067
Louisa and I walked all around
the old house

534
00:46:53,242 --> 00:46:56,277
and remembered all the summers we
spent together as little girls.

535
00:46:56,828 --> 00:47:01,038
We saw the lilac bushes we planted
years ago.

536
00:47:03,358 --> 00:47:08,896
I don't know. I just never had such
a wonderful day.

537
00:47:08,921 --> 00:47:13,083
Pauline, I'm so pleased.
-How can I ever repay you?

538
00:47:14,428 --> 00:47:17,511
I just wish you didn't have such a
difficult time here.

539
00:47:20,187 --> 00:47:23,270
Oh, I don't even mind coming home,
somehow.

540
00:47:24,139 --> 00:47:26,807
Morgan's here for a few weeks on
business.

541
00:47:28,019 --> 00:47:31,019
I hope it will be just like old times.

542
00:47:31,673 --> 00:47:35,005
After all, mama needs me,

543
00:47:35,901 --> 00:47:39,067
and it's nice being needed, isn't it?

544
00:47:40,864 --> 00:47:45,318
Oh, thank you, Miss Shirley.
-No, you keep the dress.

545
00:47:45,533 --> 00:47:48,201
Heaven knows, you might get to wear
it again.

546
00:47:48,686 --> 00:47:50,179
God bless you.

547
00:47:53,435 --> 00:47:56,435
You've done more than you'll
ever know.

548
00:48:07,342 --> 00:48:10,425
Kingsport Ladies' College, Miss
Brooke speaking...

549
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,396
Why, Good Afternoon, Mrs. Pringle.

550
00:48:15,140 --> 00:48:20,133
Sore throat? Tonsillitis?
Good heavens, I hope it isn't serious.

551
00:48:20,910 --> 00:48:23,115
It's not contagious, is it?

552
00:48:23,997 --> 00:48:25,466
Oh, I see.

553
00:48:26,966 --> 00:48:31,948
No! No, but...
No, we understand completely.

554
00:48:31,973 --> 00:48:34,486
One must not interfere with the
doctor's orders.

555
00:48:35,390 --> 00:48:37,298
I agree with you, Mrs. Pringle.

556
00:48:38,353 --> 00:48:40,834
I appreciate your giving us
sufficient notice.

557
00:48:41,509 --> 00:48:44,811
Thank you. Goodbye.

558
00:48:49,505 --> 00:48:52,540
Jen Pringle will not be performing
this evening.

559
00:48:53,441 --> 00:48:56,889
You can't be serious. Not after all
this effort.

560
00:48:56,902 --> 00:49:00,465
We shall simply have to return the
tickets and put it off.

561
00:49:00,582 --> 00:49:05,116
Until when? We can't afford to
rebook the hall.
And what about the band?

562
00:49:05,127 --> 00:49:06,522
I still have to pay for them.

563
00:49:06,524 --> 00:49:12,208
Well, Muriel Stacey, I told you
it was foolish to get up a play at
this time of year. Don't blame me.

564
00:49:12,684 --> 00:49:15,973
Jen Pringle is in no more danger
of tonsillitis than I am.

565
00:49:16,883 --> 00:49:20,688
This is a deliberate device to
ruin the play and get rid of me.

566
00:49:20,869 --> 00:49:22,657
That's an awfully sour attitude.

567
00:49:23,699 --> 00:49:28,567
What do you intend to do? Read it
yourself? That would ruin it. Mary
is the entire play.

568
00:49:31,001 --> 00:49:33,482
We are not postponing anything.

569
00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:37,576
I'll be back in an hour. Carry on
as we planned until you hear from me.

570
00:49:50,614 --> 00:49:53,881
Miss Shirley.
-I would like to speak to Capt.
Harris, please.

571
00:49:54,343 --> 00:49:59,345
I'm sorry. He's busy in his study
and I regret to say he won't be
disturbed.

572
00:49:59,370 --> 00:50:03,283
I'm sorry, Annabel, but this is a
matter that goes beyond regret.

573
00:50:08,836 --> 00:50:13,413
Come in. We'll look at the shipment
in Boston. On Monday, alright.

574
00:50:14,981 --> 00:50:18,160
I apologize for interrupting you
so rudely, sir, but I'll be brief.

575
00:50:18,427 --> 00:50:20,622
Because you've withdrawn you're
financial support from the college,

576
00:50:20,647 --> 00:50:25,528
we have been attempting to raise
the balance of our operating costs
through the production of a benefit
concert scheduled for this evening.

577
00:50:25,864 --> 00:50:30,660
Now our concert is threatened
because Jen Pringle, our leading
performer, has called in ill at the
last minute.

578
00:50:31,192 --> 00:50:35,120
Emmeline knows the part cold; we've
been studying it together. This
opportunity would mean the
everything to her.

579
00:50:35,145 --> 00:50:39,658
I know what you think of me, my
methods, and the school, but I beg
of you to let her perform with us tonight.

580
00:50:42,378 --> 00:50:46,213
I take it, then, your job is on the line?
-I intend to see this through, sir.

581
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,987
You have no business interfering
here, Miss Shirley. Emmeline is far
too easily influenced for her own good.

582
00:50:55,185 --> 00:50:57,503
But, under the circumstances, I...

583
00:50:58,612 --> 00:51:03,394
I feel I owe you an apology for some
of the things I said the other day
and all the trouble I've obviously caused.

584
00:51:03,419 --> 00:51:08,186
I meant no harm.
-Please, that was my own fault.

585
00:51:11,054 --> 00:51:14,227
Perhaps I reacted hastily taking
Emmeline out of school.

586
00:51:16,071 --> 00:51:18,415
Pringles like to throw their
weight around this community.

587
00:51:19,269 --> 00:51:25,200
You might say I took Emmeline's
expulsion as an attack on myself.

588
00:51:26,153 --> 00:51:29,393
But, I thought you supported the general consensus?

589
00:51:29,699 --> 00:51:32,983
Please, don't lump me in with that lot.

590
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:35,822
Kingsport is a very insidious town.

591
00:51:40,463 --> 00:51:44,302
I am grateful to you for your
insights, Miss Shirley.

592
00:51:46,598 --> 00:51:49,244
Emmeline may go.
-Emmeline may go?

593
00:51:49,257 --> 00:51:50,731
Emmeline may go.

594
00:51:51,070 --> 00:51:54,442
Thank you, sir. I'm just dizzy
with gratitude.

595
00:51:59,743 --> 00:52:00,608
Sorry.

596
00:52:01,735 --> 00:52:06,976
Miss Shirley. Miss Shirley.
You and Emmeline hurry along.

597
00:52:08,115 --> 00:52:12,402
The Pringles will be sharpening
their knives.
-Thank you.

598
00:52:18,644 --> 00:52:23,788
"Forgive all evil toward me of all
men, deed or device to hurt me.

599
00:52:23,794 --> 00:52:29,041
Yea, I would not bear one heart
unreconciled with mine when mine
is cold,

600
00:52:29,806 --> 00:52:34,965
I will not take Death's hand with
any soil of hate or wrath or wrong
about me.

601
00:52:35,357 --> 00:52:38,365
But being friends with this past world.

602
00:52:38,597 --> 00:52:42,676
pass from it in the general
peace of love."

603
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:18,534
Thank you. Thank you all so much
for your, well, overwhelming

604
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:22,863
support for this evening's benefit.
I would now like to introduce to you

605
00:53:22,888 --> 00:53:26,372
K.L.C.'s brilliant, young English
professor,

606
00:53:26,414 --> 00:53:30,932
an individual who has overseen
every last inch of this production

607
00:53:31,347 --> 00:53:38,645
and whose inspired direction has
brought forth such magnificent
performances from your daughters:

608
00:53:38,670 --> 00:53:41,055
Miss Anne Shirley.

609
00:53:49,912 --> 00:53:55,331
Thank you.
-Miss Shirley, on behalf of the
Kings County Board of Education,

610
00:53:55,833 --> 00:53:59,532
it gives me very great pleasure to
present you with this check,

611
00:53:59,775 --> 00:54:03,395
the proceeds of this evening's
exciting events,

612
00:54:03,420 --> 00:54:06,833
made out to the Kingsport Ladies' College,

613
00:54:07,342 --> 00:54:13,176
in the amount of $2500.

614
00:54:18,869 --> 00:54:20,944
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

615
00:54:21,340 --> 00:54:26,630
It would be impossible for me to
speak without having by my side the
three other energetic supporters of
tonight's events:

616
00:54:28,567 --> 00:54:34,476
Miss Kerr, Miss McKay, and
especially our beloved principal,
Miss Katherine Brooke

617
00:54:34,489 --> 00:54:37,405
who all worked so tirelessly on
this production.

618
00:54:58,713 --> 00:55:03,005
It was with great trepidation that
I began my year here at Kingsport
Ladies' College,

619
00:55:03,614 --> 00:55:08,888
and I owe an enormous debt of
gratitude to my fellow teachers and
to the parents of my students

620
00:55:08,913 --> 00:55:12,780
who all tried to make me feel so
at home during my first few weeks
in Kingsport.

621
00:55:14,755 --> 00:55:18,130
I have grown to love and respect
all of our girls at K.L.C.,

622
00:55:18,809 --> 00:55:22,652
and have found many kindred
spirits among them.

623
00:55:22,677 --> 00:55:24,591
If we have opened your hearts
this evening

624
00:55:24,635 --> 00:55:27,345
and entertained you even a little,
we have succeeded.

625
00:55:28,067 --> 00:55:31,119
Thank you all for your very fine
support.

626
00:55:38,706 --> 00:55:40,247
Thank you.

627
00:55:42,917 --> 00:55:45,934
I can't thank you enough for what
you've done for my Myra.

628
00:55:45,959 --> 00:55:48,997
She's got along better this term
than she has in a long time.

629
00:55:49,022 --> 00:55:50,481
She's a joy to teach.

630
00:55:50,506 --> 00:55:55,427
Thank you. I just hope they all
realize what a jewel you are,
my dear.

631
00:55:56,276 --> 00:55:59,645
I know some of the other Pringles
have been abominable, but I don't
care what they say;

632
00:55:59,670 --> 00:56:03,284
You can board with me next term.
-Thank you for the invitation.

633
00:56:03,309 --> 00:56:08,309
I had a teacher just like you when I
was a girl. You brought back so many memories.
-Congratulations.

634
00:56:08,809 --> 00:56:10,311
Thank you for your fine support.

635
00:56:11,979 --> 00:56:14,979
Papa, what did you think?
-Emmeline, you were an angel.

636
00:56:15,255 --> 00:56:19,016
You stole away everyone's heart
including mine. Come back to Earth
now, for a while.

637
00:56:19,041 --> 00:56:20,700
It all seems like a dream.

638
00:56:22,623 --> 00:56:25,078
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

639
00:56:26,211 --> 00:56:32,114
Emmeline! Oh, you were
wonderful.
-Thank you.

640
00:56:32,139 --> 00:56:35,778
It looks like you've single-handedly
routed the entire Pringle clan.

641
00:56:35,803 --> 00:56:39,544
Well, let's just say that the winds
of persecution have blown over.

642
00:56:39,750 --> 00:56:42,380
Thank you, sir. This has meant a
great deal to me.

643
00:56:42,413 --> 00:56:44,434
I'll never forget it as long as I live.

644
00:56:44,459 --> 00:56:46,379
Nor will I.

645
00:56:47,018 --> 00:56:51,429
Good night, Emmeline.
-Miss Shirley, I'd like you to go
on tutoring my daughter,

646
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:56,222
so she'll be caught up when she
returns to college next term. I'm
prepared to make it worth your while.

647
00:56:57,107 --> 00:57:00,142
Only if you put my wages back into
supporting the college.

648
00:57:00,604 --> 00:57:03,716
You're asking me to renegotiate?
-Yes.

649
00:57:03,741 --> 00:57:05,466
You have a deal.

650
00:57:05,491 --> 00:57:09,273
Thank you. Good night, Emmeline.
Good night.
-Good night.

651
00:57:13,799 --> 00:57:18,618
Miss Brooke generously left the
light on for us. She must be in a
good mood. [Laughs]

652
00:57:19,327 --> 00:57:22,410
Settle down. I'll be along shortly
to tuck you girls in.

653
00:57:38,973 --> 00:57:42,305
Isn't that ring around the moon
enchanting?

654
00:57:43,513 --> 00:57:46,133
I've seen a good many moons in my time.

655
00:57:52,782 --> 00:57:54,738
You haven't seen this one.

656
00:57:57,416 --> 00:58:01,459
Sit down. Let's let it just soak into our souls.

657
00:58:01,738 --> 00:58:03,694
Wasn't it a marvelous evening?

658
00:58:05,147 --> 00:58:07,981
Don't make a fool out of yourself,
please.

659
00:58:13,377 --> 00:58:19,378
It was thought in ancient times,
that when a man and a woman sat
under such a moon,

660
00:58:19,961 --> 00:58:23,827
they would be bonded together in
love for eternity.

661
00:58:24,996 --> 00:58:26,158
Love...

662
00:58:29,916 --> 00:58:33,782
If I died tomorrow, not one
living soul would miss me.

663
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:39,919
What is it you want, Anne Shirley?

664
00:58:41,961 --> 00:58:44,629
To be your friend.

665
00:58:46,664 --> 00:58:48,406
I don't have friends.

666
00:58:50,327 --> 00:58:55,117
I don't have your notable gift for
doing the queen act, always saying
the right thing to everyone.

667
00:58:57,296 --> 00:59:01,837
You say you like people to be frank.
Well, I'm going to be frank.

668
00:59:02,425 --> 00:59:07,990
It's your own fault that no one
likes you. Katherine Brooke, you
are all prickles and stings.

669
00:59:08,743 --> 00:59:11,861
I know I'm not social and people
hate me.

670
00:59:14,625 --> 00:59:19,700
Do you think it doesn't hurt that I'm always neglected and overlooked
at social functions?

671
00:59:19,938 --> 00:59:26,377
I'm sorry. I've never been able to
swallow all the snubs and pokes
I've received here in my life.

672
00:59:26,419 --> 00:59:29,230
I remember every single one.

673
00:59:29,346 --> 00:59:34,691
For fifteen years, I had to endure relatives

674
00:59:34,716 --> 00:59:37,919
who cared as little for me as my dead parents.

675
00:59:38,574 --> 00:59:43,281
I've lived in third-rate boarding
houses that froze in winter and
stank in summer.

676
00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:47,642
I've worn their cast-off clothes.

677
00:59:49,998 --> 00:59:52,618
Fortunately, I had brains.

678
00:59:54,334 --> 00:59:58,075
I made it through college and I
paid them back every cent.

679
00:59:58,462 --> 01:00:00,537
Oh, yes, I'm independent now.

680
01:00:01,756 --> 01:00:04,043
The truth is I hate teaching.

681
01:00:09,086 --> 01:00:12,584
But, there's nothing else that
I can do.

682
01:00:16,044 --> 01:00:19,079
Look at you, little messenger of
optimism.

683
01:00:19,393 --> 01:00:24,255
But how long will it last? Five,
maybe ten years before you

684
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,896
wither inside of this endless
monotony?

685
01:00:30,067 --> 01:00:33,577
Prepare to join ranks of cold,
uninteresting spinsters

686
01:00:33,578 --> 01:00:37,263
who have chosen a professional
career, Anne Shirley.

687
01:00:52,748 --> 01:00:58,202
"...and in particular the performance
of Emmeline Harris, who was so convincing
in the role of the young queen.

688
01:00:58,711 --> 01:01:00,833
The audience was so unexpectedly
moved,

689
01:01:00,962 --> 01:01:06,583
it is our opinion that this
proficient group of young actresses
must establish a permanent dramatic society.

690
01:01:07,258 --> 01:01:11,088
The Kingsport Examiner eagerly
awaits their next production.

691
01:01:14,555 --> 01:01:18,700
And on that note of praise, I hope
you all perform as triumphantly

692
01:01:18,810 --> 01:01:21,511
in your term exam next Friday.
[Laughs]

693
01:01:21,536 --> 01:01:23,598
Class dismissed.

694
01:01:25,170 --> 01:01:26,827
Emmeline.

695
01:01:43,699 --> 01:01:46,864
I'd like to apologize for the...

696
01:01:48,634 --> 01:01:52,251
inconvenience I caused you, Miss Shirley.

697
01:01:53,195 --> 01:01:56,858
We're all glad to see that your
health has improved so quickly.

698
01:01:57,898 --> 01:02:02,558
Yes, I think the doctor was overly
concerned.

699
01:02:04,380 --> 01:02:05,724
I...

700
01:02:08,829 --> 01:02:13,039
I hope I may stay in the dramatic
society, if you're going to continue.

701
01:02:14,161 --> 01:02:15,974
Well, we couldn't do without you.

702
01:02:17,575 --> 01:02:19,401
Thank you, Miss Shirley.

703
01:02:21,490 --> 01:02:23,818
Oh, my mother wants to know if
you'd like to help on the

704
01:02:23,843 --> 01:02:26,188
annual hospital bizarre, if you
have the time.

705
01:02:26,251 --> 01:02:28,476
Tell your mother I'd be flattered.

706
01:02:40,791 --> 01:02:43,193
Good afternoon, girls. Anne!

707
01:02:43,885 --> 01:02:47,654
Hello.
-The board was totally enthralled.

708
01:02:47,961 --> 01:02:51,849
Better than that, they were
absolutely floored when they
received Capt. Harris' check.

709
01:02:51,966 --> 01:02:54,987
They want to renew your contract
for five years.

710
01:02:55,012 --> 01:02:59,004
Five years? I'm not sure I can
last that long.

711
01:02:59,029 --> 01:03:03,411
Well, I think that you ought to
write a book about it. Oh, Miss
Brooke, isn't it wonderful?

712
01:03:03,820 --> 01:03:08,203
Authors are such kittle kattle.
I wouldn't trust your description
of any of us.

713
01:03:10,174 --> 01:03:12,124
Here. These came for you.

714
01:03:12,954 --> 01:03:13,946
Thank you.

715
01:03:21,683 --> 01:03:23,921
"Thank you, again. I would like
to return the favor.

716
01:03:25,111 --> 01:03:29,970
I'd be pleased to have you escort
my family for a short visit to
Boston when I return in a month."

717
01:03:31,237 --> 01:03:34,153
Sincerely, Morgan Harris."

718
01:03:38,416 --> 01:03:40,435
Oh, they're beautiful!

719
01:03:51,326 --> 01:03:54,523
Pauline Harris, you don't know if
you're coming or going, girl.

720
01:03:55,881 --> 01:03:57,902
Move that hat box.

721
01:03:59,656 --> 01:04:04,987
Not up there, girl, you'll brain me.
It's not safe up there, either.

722
01:04:05,020 --> 01:04:06,394
Put it back, girl.
Put it back.

723
01:04:06,731 --> 01:04:11,740
Lower the blind. It needs to be
just about one inch lower.

724
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:16,563
Oh, Pauline. Pauline, now you've
done it.

725
01:04:17,378 --> 01:04:21,458
Oh, all that light makes my
headache worse.

726
01:04:21,483 --> 01:04:22,708
I'm sorry, mama.

727
01:04:26,404 --> 01:04:29,288
Oh, you've got your color back,
Mrs. Harris. You must be feeling better.

728
01:04:31,176 --> 01:04:37,012
I am completely worn out with all
the worry, and the motion sickness;

729
01:04:37,148 --> 01:04:42,501
my stomach is dropping out, thank
you. Why I ever listened to you and
came on this trip in the first place--

730
01:04:42,526 --> 01:04:44,091
Now, now, we're almost there.

731
01:04:45,008 --> 01:04:48,482
Perhaps you'd like some lunch, Pauline?
-We are not hungry.

732
01:04:49,521 --> 01:04:51,692
Can they make a decent cup of tea
on this contraption?

733
01:04:51,994 --> 01:04:54,863
I'd rather drink mud than the tea
that some people make.

734
01:04:54,867 --> 01:04:55,919
Yes, Mrs. Harris.

735
01:04:55,921 --> 01:04:57,256
I'll see what I can procure.

736
01:04:57,281 --> 01:04:59,783
And see that they wash the cup
out properly.

737
01:05:00,845 --> 01:05:04,669
I don't mean to be of trouble to
anyone, but from the way I'm feeling,

738
01:05:05,353 --> 01:05:08,117
I don't think I shall be
here much longer.

739
01:05:08,142 --> 01:05:10,923
Then perhaps you'll all appreciate me.

740
01:05:19,656 --> 01:05:21,069
Poor Aunt Pauline.

741
01:05:21,688 --> 01:05:24,084
Oh, well, grandmama will sleep
for days once we get there.

742
01:05:24,799 --> 01:05:29,736
I can hardly wait to see papa's new
house. I've only ever heard of how
wonderful it is.

743
01:05:30,342 --> 01:05:33,227
I have a feeling we're all here
on approval.

744
01:05:33,644 --> 01:05:37,352
Papa thinks very highly of you,
Miss Shirley. He said so.

745
01:05:42,877 --> 01:05:44,096
Hello...

746
01:05:44,151 --> 01:05:47,763
How is mother?
-She allowed us to order her a
cup of tea.

747
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,310
However, she is throwing out
complaints at the speed of this
train.

748
01:05:52,777 --> 01:05:56,558
If we like your new house in Boston,
papa, can Miss Shirley and I stay
with you?

749
01:05:56,669 --> 01:06:00,575
Hmm, I don't know if Boston is
large enough for two sophisticated
ladies.

750
01:06:02,257 --> 01:06:07,462
Going from Avonlea to Kingsport was
an adventure, Captain. I assure you
this will be an epoch in my life.

751
01:06:07,630 --> 01:06:11,401
Oh, I am sure you and Boston will
make quiet and impression on each other.

752
01:06:12,032 --> 01:06:15,578
If I can remember not to look as
backward as I feel.

753
01:06:31,592 --> 01:06:33,659
All this moving about.

754
01:06:34,291 --> 01:06:38,348
All this rushing. Nobody cares
what I suffer.

755
01:06:38,373 --> 01:06:43,095
Mother.
-So this is what you have been
wasting all my money on, Morgan Harris?

756
01:07:19,126 --> 01:07:22,230
And I didn't invite you all the way
to Boston to carry on like this.

757
01:07:22,255 --> 01:07:24,845
It isn't fair, Morgan. It simply
isn't fair.

758
01:07:24,870 --> 01:07:27,619
The child has got to come back
and live with you.

759
01:07:28,012 --> 01:07:33,270
I can't afford the expenses. And I
simply can't stand the plight. And
Pauline has quite enough to do--

760
01:07:33,295 --> 01:07:35,635
Oh, I don't mind, mama.
-Please don't contradict me.

761
01:07:36,072 --> 01:07:37,908
Don't be so demanding.

762
01:07:37,933 --> 01:07:41,845
She's back in school. Besides,
I thought you enjoyed having her with you.

763
01:07:41,928 --> 01:07:45,124
I'm 79 years of age, my boy,

764
01:07:45,442 --> 01:07:50,075
and I can't be bothered with the
child. You've got this enormous house.

765
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,643
It all comes out of your father's
estate,

766
01:07:53,669 --> 01:07:54,263
Hmmm?

767
01:07:54,468 --> 01:07:57,200
I have every right to be
demanding.

768
01:07:57,689 --> 01:08:00,030
Why don't you get married again?

769
01:08:00,504 --> 01:08:04,967
I haven't the temperament for it.
-I suppose no one would take you.

770
01:08:04,975 --> 01:08:06,794
Mind your own business, mother.

771
01:08:09,665 --> 01:08:12,992
Of course, I realize my opinions
don't matter any longer.

772
01:08:13,793 --> 01:08:17,617
I might just as well be dead. Then
you can have the rest of the money.

773
01:08:17,744 --> 01:08:20,560
Please, don't say that, mama.
-I will say it!

774
01:08:21,079 --> 01:08:24,229
You're two ungrateful children.

775
01:08:24,582 --> 01:08:28,636
How many times have I sat up at
night, nursing you, when you were
little?

776
01:08:28,661 --> 01:08:34,591
Sometimes I thought you'd never
live to see the dawn. A mother's
sacrifices are soon forgotten.

777
01:08:35,145 --> 01:08:39,667
Mama, please come to bed. It's
just the strain of being in un--
-Saints above, Pauline!

778
01:08:39,692 --> 01:08:41,578
Will you keep out of this?

779
01:08:42,239 --> 01:08:43,828
Now, you listen to me, Morgan.

780
01:08:44,262 --> 01:08:48,750
I am not going to bed until you
give me a decisive answer.

781
01:08:49,379 --> 01:08:53,293
Face up to your responsibilities
and behave like a man.

782
01:08:54,616 --> 01:08:55,856
Right!

783
01:09:00,862 --> 01:09:04,551
I shall look into making the
arrangements as soon as I can.

784
01:09:05,403 --> 01:09:07,216
Well that's better.

785
01:09:09,904 --> 01:09:11,387
Good night.

786
01:09:24,054 --> 01:09:25,334
Good night, Morgan.

787
01:09:28,353 --> 01:09:32,918
You can't rely on that boy staying
in the same mind for two minutes
together.

788
01:09:33,340 --> 01:09:37,374
He'll toss that child back in my
lap, as sure as sure can be.

789
01:09:38,313 --> 01:09:42,554
And what do you think of my son's
lack of responsibility?

790
01:09:43,514 --> 01:09:46,911
I quite agree. Good night, Miss
Shirley.

791
01:09:54,871 --> 01:09:56,592
Please, don't get up.

792
01:09:58,123 --> 01:10:00,857
I just wanted to say what a
lovely evening this has been,

793
01:10:01,719 --> 01:10:04,380
and to thank you for giving me
such a wonderful opportunity.

794
01:10:05,127 --> 01:10:07,064
I apologize for mother's behavior.

795
01:10:07,231 --> 01:10:10,028
In her condition, sarcasm is her
one relief.

796
01:10:11,403 --> 01:10:13,954
Pringle nature, I suppose.

797
01:10:15,286 --> 01:10:18,504
I'm surprised you've put up with
all this Kingsport nonsense as
well as you have.

798
01:10:20,961 --> 01:10:25,911
Well, it has been a challenge, as
well as a very good experience.

799
01:10:26,372 --> 01:10:28,975
Oh, I desperately miss my Green
Gables, though.

800
01:10:31,562 --> 01:10:34,642
Watching the home lights flicker
across the pond at night.

801
01:10:35,608 --> 01:10:38,275
Marilla waiting for me on the
veranda.

802
01:10:41,965 --> 01:10:47,004
It probably sounds very foolish to you.
-You can't escape your wholesome
island upbringing.

803
01:10:49,604 --> 01:10:53,575
It must feel very empty living in
this vast house all alone.

804
01:10:55,351 --> 01:10:57,002
Well, it's an investment, really.

805
01:10:58,541 --> 01:11:00,619
I'm away so frequently.

806
01:11:01,978 --> 01:11:04,497
What is it that keeps you away
from Kingsport?

807
01:11:04,596 --> 01:11:08,795
Keeping occupied with the all-
consuming problems of my business.

808
01:11:09,556 --> 01:11:13,754
Running away?
-No.

809
01:11:15,894 --> 01:11:19,436
Perhaps holding out for a reason
to return.

810
01:11:20,252 --> 01:11:22,273
Well, I hope you found one.

811
01:11:25,570 --> 01:11:27,850
I'm very grateful to you for all
your hospitality.

812
01:11:28,047 --> 01:11:32,952
Well, I'm very grateful to you...
for the pleasure of such high spirits.

813
01:11:34,805 --> 01:11:37,642
Good night.
-Good night, Morgan Harris.

814
01:11:39,592 --> 01:11:41,001
Anne Shirley.

815
01:11:45,272 --> 01:11:48,512
I hope we shall see you often
when I return to Kingsport.

816
01:12:05,114 --> 01:12:08,174
Do you think this makes me look
older, papa?
-Oh, yes, Emmeline.

817
01:12:08,236 --> 01:12:11,615
We can't make up our minds which
of these hats looks more sophisticated.

818
01:12:11,799 --> 01:12:17,020
Neither can I. We'll take all of them.
-Papa!
-We can manage that.

819
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:22,033
Here she is, great lady of the
West Indies.
-She's magnificent.

820
01:12:22,709 --> 01:12:24,617
What does "mistral" mean, papa?

821
01:12:24,638 --> 01:12:26,800
It means a rough, cold wind.

822
01:12:26,806 --> 01:12:30,849
Oh, no, Captain. It should be
christened after a delicious,
perfumed wind,

823
01:12:31,014 --> 01:12:32,965
like a zephyr.

824
01:12:33,018 --> 01:12:36,591
Then I shall name the next one
The Zephyr in your honor.

825
01:12:58,207 --> 01:13:03,497
"...And the excursion to Boston
all seems like a dream, somehow.

826
01:13:04,227 --> 01:13:08,848
Emmeline, who has had such a
forsaken life up till now, has
blossomed,

827
01:13:09,415 --> 01:13:15,285
and I feel Capt. Harris now
recognizes the treasure he didn't
know he possessed.

828
01:13:15,911 --> 01:13:21,190
I am a little weary of living
out of a trunk, though,

829
01:13:21,215 --> 01:13:24,684
and I long to feel the summer
loveliness of home.

830
01:13:25,791 --> 01:13:30,429
I miss you both so very much.
With all my heart, Anne."

831
01:13:31,764 --> 01:13:34,821
She's plain worn out, if you ask
me, Marilla.

832
01:13:35,631 --> 01:13:39,309
I'm not surprised. The way girls
roam the Earth now is something
terrible.

833
01:13:40,553 --> 01:13:45,472
It reminds me of Satan in the
book of Job: going to and fro,
and walking up and down.

834
01:13:45,497 --> 01:13:47,437
I don't think the Lord ever
intended it.

835
01:13:48,871 --> 01:13:52,448
What is to be, will be, Rachel.

836
01:13:53,132 --> 01:13:55,855
And what isn't to be, sometimes
happens.

837
01:13:56,063 --> 01:13:57,990
Riches are all very well,

838
01:13:58,548 --> 01:14:04,081
Marilla, but if Anne prefers the
handsome unknown to Avonlea, well,
there's nothing more to be said.

839
01:14:04,309 --> 01:14:06,965
It's in the hands of Providence.

840
01:14:11,190 --> 01:14:15,182
"I enjoyed your company in Boston.
I hope the term is continuing well
in Kingsport and

841
01:14:15,669 --> 01:14:21,952
Emmeline is caught up now in her
studies. Thank you again.
Sincerely, Morgan Harris."

842
01:14:40,236 --> 01:14:41,789
Anne Shirley?

843
01:14:42,684 --> 01:14:44,274
What in heck are you doing here?

844
01:14:44,705 --> 01:14:45,903
Gil?

845
01:14:47,819 --> 01:14:51,832
You're the very last person I'd
ever expected to meet out
here on a day like this.

846
01:14:53,403 --> 01:14:55,286
Uh, um...

847
01:14:55,521 --> 01:15:00,324
Come on! The Royal Academy
of Physicians is convening here this
weekend and I'm here as a delegate.

848
01:15:00,349 --> 01:15:01,997
You must be proud of yourself.

849
01:15:02,003 --> 01:15:06,619
Not as proud as I was of you when
I read that clipping Miss Stacey
sent me about the success of your play.

850
01:15:07,469 --> 01:15:11,332
That's sweet of you, Gil. It's
so good to see you.

851
01:15:11,316 --> 01:15:16,089
Oh, I was actually hoping we'd run
into each other. I wasn't sure
whether you'd be happy to see me or not, so I--

852
01:15:16,114 --> 01:15:21,581
Happy? I can't begin to express
my happiness. Let me look at you.

853
01:15:21,606 --> 01:15:26,429
Ah, yes, do I look like a young
medical student now?
-Not a bit; you can't fool me.

854
01:15:26,778 --> 01:15:31,711
You're still the same incorrigible
Gil. Tell me all the Avonlea news.
Have you been back?

855
01:15:32,136 --> 01:15:38,239
Uh, no. I've been spending most
of my time with the Stuarts in Halifax.
Dr. Stuart's a very prominent surgeon

856
01:15:38,536 --> 01:15:41,629
It's he who arranged for me to attend as his delegate.

857
01:15:43,446 --> 01:15:48,950
You see, Christine and I are
engaged. It's set for next summer.

858
01:15:50,638 --> 01:15:52,325
I'm so happy for you, Gil.

859
01:15:53,877 --> 01:15:56,248
I guess that's why I wanted to
see you so much--

860
01:15:57,663 --> 01:16:03,808
to apologize for being such a fool
last summer. No, I think I
understand now what you meant.

861
01:16:04,918 --> 01:16:09,065
I meant what I said, too.
I won't ever forget you.

862
01:16:12,785 --> 01:16:15,678
You turned out as I always
imagined you would.

863
01:16:16,436 --> 01:16:21,335
Doesn't it seem like yesterday we
off to Queens and vying for those
scholarships?

864
01:16:22,649 --> 01:16:26,448
I suppose you've kept up your writing?
-Not really.

865
01:16:26,912 --> 01:16:32,418
I've been busy, and, well,
publishers aren't interested in
those kinds of stories.

866
01:16:32,879 --> 01:16:38,113
Well, I wouldn't give up all
together. You know, I always
thought you should write about the Avonlea.

867
01:16:38,888 --> 01:16:43,286
Change the name, of course, or
Rachel Lynde would think she was
the heroine.

868
01:16:43,834 --> 01:16:50,153
Avonlea is the dearest place in
the world. But I don't think it's
an interesting enough setting for a story.

869
01:16:50,984 --> 01:16:54,617
Oh, I intend to take Christine
back to the Island with me and
set up my practice there.

870
01:16:55,185 --> 01:16:57,976
Dr. Stuart has a lot of pull in
Halifax and would like us to live there,

871
01:16:57,981 --> 01:17:00,534
but I don't want any hand-outs.

872
01:17:02,388 --> 01:17:07,395
Besides, any other place just
wouldn't seem like home to me.
-No, of course.

873
01:17:11,094 --> 01:17:15,263
The board of governors at the
College just offered me a five-year
contract.

874
01:17:15,873 --> 01:17:21,297
Well, that's wonderful.  You
certainly won your way into the
hearts of this affluent, old town.

875
01:17:23,060 --> 01:17:26,285
You won't be lonely.
-I'll survive.

876
01:17:27,988 --> 01:17:31,268
Well, I ought to go. The train
leaves at 5:30.

877
01:17:31,630 --> 01:17:33,255
Oh, no, really?

878
01:17:33,867 --> 01:17:41,051
Oh, I, was going to mail this,
but a note just isn't the same.

879
01:17:41,437 --> 01:17:42,530
Thanks, Gil.

880
01:17:44,155 --> 01:17:45,154
Good bye, Anne.

881
01:17:46,365 --> 01:17:49,461
Good bye, Gil.
-Don't forget me.

882
01:18:12,872 --> 01:18:14,327
All aboard!

883
01:18:19,826 --> 01:18:21,181
Gil!

884
01:18:28,137 --> 01:18:29,665
Thank you!

885
01:18:31,777 --> 01:18:35,059
Good bye.
-Good bye, Anne.

886
01:19:46,297 --> 01:19:50,983
Miss Shirley, would you help us
arrange all these garlands and buntings?

887
01:19:51,012 --> 01:19:54,126
This is a hopeless mess.
-What's the matter, Mrs. Pringle?

888
01:19:54,151 --> 01:19:58,402
Not one of these nitwits has as
much artistic ability as you have
in your baby finger.

889
01:19:59,661 --> 01:20:04,231
Ladies, I am putting Miss Shirley
in charge here.

890
01:20:05,308 --> 01:20:07,346
Let me see.

891
01:20:09,014 --> 01:20:13,903
I suggest you gather it up in
rosettes like this, and then we'll
hang them with the festoons afterward.

892
01:20:14,114 --> 01:20:18,301
We were all so impressed with your
production at the college, Miss Shirley.

893
01:20:18,326 --> 01:20:22,942
Thank you.
-And to think how you've transformed
Morgan Harris' little girl.

894
01:20:23,145 --> 01:20:26,590
He's hardly had anything to do with
the poor child since she was born.

895
01:20:26,692 --> 01:20:31,315
Such a tragedy when his Adelaide
died. She was a rare beauty.

896
01:20:31,340 --> 01:20:34,262
Old Mrs. Harris and Mother Pringle are first cousins,

897
01:20:34,362 --> 01:20:37,860
and I know how the Harrises have
cut themselves off from everybody.

898
01:20:38,365 --> 01:20:43,969
It was Morgan's fault that she
ran away and left him. Terrible
reputation with the ladies.

899
01:20:44,244 --> 01:20:49,723
They say Adelaide really died of
a broken heart.
-I'm sure he's felt so guilty all
these years,

900
01:20:49,748 --> 01:20:55,817
that he can't stand the sight of
the child.
-More than likely, it's the old
lady he can't stand.

901
01:20:58,027 --> 01:21:03,372
Well, I know for a fact that he
has been seeing Elvira Evans,

902
01:21:04,239 --> 01:21:06,543
standard oil fortune from Boston.

903
01:21:06,934 --> 01:21:12,293
She has been staying for last two weeks at Maplehurst,

904
01:21:12,763 --> 01:21:17,923
or so my sister-in-law tells me.
-You've gotten to know cousin
Morgan, haven't you, Miss Shirley?

905
01:21:19,601 --> 01:21:25,230
Yes, we've met on several outings.
He's very charming.

906
01:21:32,161 --> 01:21:35,292
We're going to give Miss Evans a tour of the old town, this afternoon, Emmeline.

907
01:22:09,490 --> 01:22:14,989
"Dear Miss Shirley, Please accept
our congratulations on your book entitled

908
01:22:15,014 --> 01:22:20,192
Avonlea Vignettes. Enclosed is our
check for $250

909
01:22:20,217 --> 01:22:23,335
Advanced against our royalties."

910
01:22:26,317 --> 01:22:28,526
Anne!,  Anne?

911
01:22:29,926 --> 01:22:31,770
oh, hello.
-Anne.

912
01:22:31,795 --> 01:22:35,680
I was hoping to run into you.
We've missed having you back at
Maplehurst.

913
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:40,612
I can imagine it must be very
difficult for you to get away
from your important guest.

914
01:22:40,909 --> 01:22:45,536
Yes, yes it is. But please let--
-Don't apologize. I do understand.

915
01:22:45,626 --> 01:22:46,772
Good day, sir.

916
01:22:47,768 --> 01:22:51,022
May I offer you a ride back to
the College?
-No, thank you.

917
01:22:59,638 --> 01:23:01,505
What's nagging you, Miss Shirley?

918
01:23:03,904 --> 01:23:09,363
You're behaving rather like a spinsterly old schoolmarm, don't you think?
-Perhaps that is because I am one.

919
01:23:09,850 --> 01:23:14,309
I say that with admiration, meant
as a compliment. I'm a great
proponent of independent thinking.

920
01:23:14,511 --> 01:23:19,930
Moreover, I've always held that
early marriage is a sure indication
of second-rate goods that had to be
sold in a hurry.

921
01:23:22,269 --> 01:23:26,210
Wouldn't you agree?
-Well, you can be sure I am of the
first-rate kind, Morgan Harris.

922
01:23:26,970 --> 01:23:32,128
And I certainly have far greater
ambition than marriage, oh, if
that is what you're insinuating is
"nagging" me.

923
01:23:32,515 --> 01:23:37,364
I'm about to have a short work of
fiction published. I'm afraid it
has me completely preoccupied.

924
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,303
Well, then, let me offer my congratulations.
-Good day.

925
01:23:41,328 --> 01:23:42,520
Anne.

926
01:23:45,385 --> 01:23:49,829
Anne, I am sorry. I ought not to
have made such a back-handed
invitation.

927
01:23:50,749 --> 01:23:53,840
I've been meaning to ask mother to
invite you back to Maplehurst.

928
01:23:53,944 --> 01:23:55,778
How gracious of you.

929
01:23:56,110 --> 01:23:59,653
But my schedule is so jam-packed,
I'm sure I won't be able to squeeze it in.

930
01:23:59,741 --> 01:24:02,942
I take it you'll attend the
Hospital Benefit tomorrow evening?

931
01:24:04,036 --> 01:24:09,062
Yes, I'm working as a volunteer.
-I shall look forward to seeing you
there.

932
01:24:09,448 --> 01:24:15,039
Would you do me the honor, Miss
Shirley, of reserving me a waltz
on your card?

933
01:24:16,807 --> 01:24:20,231
Of course. I'd be please to,
Morgan Harris...

934
01:24:22,368 --> 01:24:26,301
Thank you.
-If I have a waltz space for you.

935
01:24:34,004 --> 01:24:35,643
Well, what do you think?

936
01:24:37,571 --> 01:24:40,950
Oh, you look like a Gibson
Magazine cover.

937
01:24:42,442 --> 01:24:49,098
Perhaps some romantic artist will
fall for you and ask to paint your
picture.

938
01:24:49,864 --> 01:24:54,325
Oh, Miss Shirley, I'm going to
wear my hair just like that
when I turn 18.

939
01:24:54,465 --> 01:24:59,131
You darlings. Imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery.

940
01:24:59,687 --> 01:25:03,019
Would you run along and see if my
cab is here? Thank you.

941
01:25:12,662 --> 01:25:17,199
My, my.  Going to London to visit
the Queen, are we?

942
01:25:18,726 --> 01:25:21,440
Are you not capable of saying
anything pleasant?

943
01:25:21,465 --> 01:25:24,446
No, I haven't your talent for
pretending things.

944
01:25:25,368 --> 01:25:28,023
You take my breath away with your
compliment.

945
01:25:29,108 --> 01:25:33,325
You always have some secret
delight, don't you?

946
01:25:34,125 --> 01:25:37,465
Don't deceive yourself. You'll
never be one of them,

947
01:25:37,541 --> 01:25:42,934
despite your flaunting your string
of pearls and making a spectacle
of yourself.

948
01:25:47,762 --> 01:25:50,721
Morgan Harris is a man of status
and achievement.

949
01:25:51,378 --> 01:25:55,172
And you, my dear, are nothing better than a teacher.

950
01:25:55,907 --> 01:26:00,622
I don't know what you mean. But I
honestly feel sorry for you, Katherine.

951
01:26:00,749 --> 01:26:07,642
You shut out every spark of
happiness around you.  I will not
be poisoned by your bitterness.

952
01:26:36,807 --> 01:26:42,325
You are good luck, Anne Shirley.
This is the largest number of
tickets we've ever sold for the hospital.

953
01:26:42,350 --> 01:26:48,809
Well, I enjoy helping out in any
which way I can, Mrs. Pringle.
-Don't get stuck behind that table all night.

954
01:26:48,834 --> 01:26:51,537
Be sure to get a dance.
-I will.

955
01:27:34,125 --> 01:27:38,017
You took the teachers' course at
Queen's. Shirley, isn't it?

956
01:27:38,042 --> 01:27:39,730
Anne Shirley, yes.

957
01:27:40,465 --> 01:27:45,536
Lewis Allen. I remember, you won
the Avery Scholarship and Gilbert Blythe

958
01:27:45,598 --> 01:27:46,885
won the gold medal.

959
01:27:47,067 --> 01:27:51,879
Yes, that's right. Pleased to know
you. What do you do now, Lewis?

960
01:27:51,965 --> 01:27:55,866
I am the principal of Richmond
Public School. Not the most
adventurous place in the world, but,

961
01:27:55,891 --> 01:28:01,176
uh, I've done alright for myself,
compared to a lot of others from Queens.

962
01:28:02,908 --> 01:28:05,864
Do you dance as well as you boast?
-Better.

963
01:28:43,631 --> 01:28:47,512
Morgan Harris certainly upstaged
the Pringles with that Evans woman.

964
01:28:47,828 --> 01:28:52,662
They say she's a perfect cat.
Worth millions, though.

965
01:28:52,695 --> 01:28:58,277
I've never. And believe me, it
will take all his gold to gild
a pill like her.

966
01:28:58,683 --> 01:29:01,718
It's a match of adjoining bank
accounts, to be sure.

967
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:10,731
Anne!  Anne,

968
01:29:11,147 --> 01:29:15,882
Good evening, sir.
Or rather, good night.
-Good night? You promised me a waltz.

969
01:29:16,223 --> 01:29:18,782
I'm sorry, my card was full all evening.

970
01:29:20,797 --> 01:29:26,415
You needn't feel obligated to patronize a local school teacher. I'm sure you've paid handsomely for your ticket.

971
01:29:26,440 --> 01:29:31,512
Wait a moment. Let me explain--
-Please, don't spoil the evening

972
01:29:31,537 --> 01:29:33,700
for your guest by causing a scene.

973
01:29:52,638 --> 01:29:54,003
Anne!

974
01:29:54,418 --> 01:29:57,707
Where are you going?
-I'm quite exhausted.

975
01:29:58,448 --> 01:30:01,780
Please, don't complicate matters
by making excuses.

976
01:30:03,784 --> 01:30:09,676
Elvira Evans is a business associate.
For the past year I have been liquidating
the last of her father's shipping estate

977
01:30:09,989 --> 01:30:15,399
Bringing her to Maplehurst was a
gesture of hospitality, the
conclusion of a lengthy transaction.

978
01:30:15,746 --> 01:30:20,613
I know when I am being
conveniently excluded.
-It isn't that at all! Be reasonable!

979
01:30:20,802 --> 01:30:25,715
Why should I? I have no ulterior motives.
-You're right. It's fickle-minded as bees!

980
01:30:25,740 --> 01:30:31,239
We all go on about you. Even
mother. She absolutely adores you.
Under the circumstances,

981
01:30:31,264 --> 01:30:32,904
how could I have invited you this
evening?

982
01:30:32,929 --> 01:30:35,051
I certainly wasn't fishing for
an invitation.

983
01:30:35,530 --> 01:30:40,567
Perhaps it's my wholesome island
upbringing, but I have no intention
of becoming fancy's fool.

984
01:30:41,208 --> 01:30:45,770
I would like you to come back to
Maplehurst.
-Indeed, I don't know why.

985
01:30:45,795 --> 01:30:50,784
As Emmeline's governess, perhaps?
I'll save you the trouble of asking.
-I won't lose you, Anne Shirley.

986
01:30:50,809 --> 01:30:52,765
Let go of me.
-Please, I would like--

987
01:30:53,169 --> 01:30:53,731
Oh!

988
01:30:54,335 --> 01:30:56,457
Morgan Harris.

989
01:30:57,204 --> 01:31:01,528
Oh, I'm awfully sorry, but you
grabbed me.

990
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,036
I want to ask you to marry me.

991
01:31:06,944 --> 01:31:09,082
What did you say?

992
01:31:14,418 --> 01:31:18,569
I'm in love with you.
-You really mean that, don't you?

993
01:31:19,889 --> 01:31:24,950
My life on it. I only know I
could never bear to lose you.

994
01:31:27,057 --> 01:31:30,962
Would you do me the honor of
giving me your hand in marriage?

995
01:31:38,661 --> 01:31:45,012
Anne, what is it?
-I do care a great deal for you
and Emmeline.

996
01:31:48,606 --> 01:31:52,551
But I can't.
-What do you mean?

997
01:31:53,082 --> 01:31:57,727
Be that for five glorious seconds, I really
thought perhaps I could marry you.

998
01:31:58,186 --> 01:32:02,640
I used to dream of a moment like
this. But now...

999
01:32:03,900 --> 01:32:08,950
I can't describe it. I need to go home.

1000
01:32:09,468 --> 01:32:14,508
We can go back for summer holidays.
Rent one of those big, old places
on the gulf.

1001
01:32:21,586 --> 01:32:23,643
Not the same thing, is it?

1002
01:32:27,193 --> 01:32:28,808
No.

1003
01:32:33,143 --> 01:32:37,519
Look at you. You're out here
without even your coat on; you'll
catch your death.

1004
01:32:38,525 --> 01:32:42,766
Really, you should go back in.
I still have a waltz free.

1005
01:32:47,986 --> 01:32:49,169
Alright?

1006
01:32:52,121 --> 01:32:56,014
Let's give those old ladies
something to gossip about.
[Laughs]

1007
01:32:58,485 --> 01:33:00,123
Come in.

1008
01:33:03,225 --> 01:33:08,598
Why, Mr. McGuiness, what is it?
-You must come quickly to
Maplehurst, Miss.

1009
01:33:08,809 --> 01:33:14,181
Everyone's worried. Mrs. Harris
has kept silent all week.

1010
01:33:14,529 --> 01:33:17,942
Silent? Something must be
dreadfully wrong.

1011
01:33:25,309 --> 01:33:28,161
She took a bad spell just after
papa left.

1012
01:33:28,186 --> 01:33:33,923
Now she won't eat or drink. And
poor Aunt Pauline is beside herself
to know what we should do.

1013
01:33:43,817 --> 01:33:46,239
Miss Shirley, thank Goodness
you've come.

1014
01:33:47,317 --> 01:33:51,402
I'm afraid that she's slipping
away and it's all my fault.

1015
01:33:53,696 --> 01:33:58,348
Isaac Kent wants me to marry him, practically.

1016
01:34:00,191 --> 01:34:03,655
He's asked me to join the
Presbyterian Church Choir League.

1017
01:34:05,141 --> 01:34:12,254
Mama hates Isaac as much as she did
15 years ago when she set the bull
terrier on him for coming around to see me.

1018
01:34:13,648 --> 01:34:19,333
I don't think she'll forgive me.
I'm so afraid she's going to die.

1019
01:34:24,693 --> 01:34:30,969
You must choose between them, Pauline.
-Oh, I don't think I can live
without him.

1020
01:34:31,508 --> 01:34:34,088
Don't be frightened now.
You must accept.

1021
01:34:34,858 --> 01:34:36,838
Oh, Miss Shirley.

1022
01:34:40,287 --> 01:34:43,539
ou've always been able to smooth
things over with mama.

1023
01:34:43,816 --> 01:34:46,815
Please try to get her to forgive me.

1024
01:35:00,095 --> 01:35:01,520
Oh, it's you.

1025
01:35:04,204 --> 01:35:11,028
Mrs. Harris, please, hear me
through patiently.
-I'm always patient. Very patient.

1026
01:35:11,762 --> 01:35:14,390
I want you to know, Pauline is
greatly troubled.

1027
01:35:16,718 --> 01:35:21,553
She is of the opinion that she
should accept Isaac Kent's hand
in marriage.

1028
01:35:25,411 --> 01:35:31,645
I thought there was some
foolishness between her and that
ridiculous fellow.

1029
01:35:32,846 --> 01:35:36,020
In your heart, you must know it's
the right thing to do.

1030
01:35:37,396 --> 01:35:41,934
The truth is, Pauline needs your
forgiveness if she's ever going
to be happy.

1031
01:35:42,756 --> 01:35:46,876
I advised her to be married and I
beg of you to let her go.

1032
01:35:49,489 --> 01:35:55,528
If you've managed to get Pauline
to accept that Isaac Kent,

1033
01:35:55,871 --> 01:36:00,679
you've accomplished more than I
thought was humanly possible.

1034
01:36:01,647 --> 01:36:06,073
At least I shan't have to climb
down and tell him to take her.

1035
01:36:10,053 --> 01:36:15,137
"I withhold not my heart from any
joy." That's Bible authority for you.

1036
01:36:16,623 --> 01:36:21,715
"And yet man is born unto trouble,
as the sparks fly upwards."

1037
01:36:21,740 --> 01:36:25,895
That's Job 5, verse 7.

1038
01:36:31,700 --> 01:36:35,731
Pauline! Come here, girl.

1039
01:36:39,981 --> 01:36:45,602
No one can deny Margaret Pringle
Harris' place as a cornerstone of
our community.

1040
01:36:46,934 --> 01:36:51,467
It is with great remorse that we
turn her spirit over to her Master.

1041
01:36:52,727 --> 01:36:58,903
Though our hearts be troubled with
this graveloss, we must remind
ourselves of the fleetingness of
our own lives,

1042
01:36:59,373 --> 01:37:04,606
and that someday we shall rejoice
with Margaret forever in the hereafter.

1043
01:37:05,577 --> 01:37:06,598
Amen.

1044
01:37:19,544 --> 01:37:21,170
Goodbye.

1045
01:37:21,327 --> 01:37:23,153
Thank you.
-You're welcome.

1046
01:37:27,962 --> 01:37:33,590
We're going back to Boston, Miss Shirley.
-Pauline has accepted Isaac Kent.
I've decided to sell Maplehurst.

1047
01:37:37,575 --> 01:37:43,377
How I shall miss you, Emme. But we
will see each other again soon.

1048
01:37:43,740 --> 01:37:48,895
And I promise you I won't ever
forget you. Just you mind that.

1049
01:37:49,781 --> 01:37:53,122
I will. Good-bye, Miss Shirley.

1050
01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:59,230
There's no one in the whole world
like you.

1051
01:38:05,677 --> 01:38:08,194
Please accept my condolences, Morgan.

1052
01:38:10,107 --> 01:38:15,792
Mother mentioned you before she
went. She was very keen on you.

1053
01:38:17,352 --> 01:38:22,698
She was never one to throw away
a compliment. That means a great
deal to me.

1054
01:38:25,592 --> 01:38:28,074
Will you not reconsider?

1055
01:38:29,856 --> 01:38:32,505
I've come very close to reconsidering...

1056
01:38:34,630 --> 01:38:36,528
But it isn't any use Morgan.

1057
01:38:38,137 --> 01:38:39,627
I'll miss you, Anne.

1058
01:38:41,837 --> 01:38:47,821
I hope you rent that big house on
the gulf someday, because I'll
miss you, too.

1059
01:39:35,550 --> 01:39:40,254
I haven't had a chance to thank
you, Miss Brooke. It's been such
a rewarding year.

1060
01:39:40,279 --> 01:39:42,023
Don't be ridiculous, please.

1061
01:39:45,486 --> 01:39:50,404
Where will you be spending your
summer holidays?
-Here in this fire trap. Where did
you suppose?

1062
01:39:51,513 --> 01:39:54,723
Why stay if you don't like it?
-I... Why?

1063
01:39:59,675 --> 01:40:03,858
Don't trouble yourself. You've paid
your lip service. Now, good bye.

1064
01:40:04,611 --> 01:40:09,768
I shall see you next term.
-I won't be coming back next term.

1065
01:40:10,205 --> 01:40:12,848
I've given my resignation to the
board and to Miss Stacey.

1066
01:40:14,782 --> 01:40:18,668
I came here to ask you if you'd
like to spend your holidays with
me at Green Gables.

1067
01:40:19,022 --> 01:40:22,956
Unless you have somewhere else
you're going.
-An outburst of charity.

1068
01:40:24,088 --> 01:40:26,708
I'm hardly a candidate for that, yet.

1069
01:40:28,022 --> 01:40:32,594
Katherine Brooke, whether you know
it or not, what you want is a darn
good spanking.

1070
01:40:33,692 --> 01:40:36,468
It must have relieved you to say that.
-It has.

1071
01:40:37,367 --> 01:40:40,383
I've wanted to say it to you for
a very long time.

1072
01:40:41,754 --> 01:40:46,885
But I have asked you to come because
the very idea of you spending the summer
cooped up in here is indecent.

1073
01:40:47,210 --> 01:40:52,171
You asked me because you feel
sorry for me.
-I am sorry for you.

1074
01:40:52,193 --> 01:40:58,791
You shut out life, and now life
is shutting you out. Now are you
coming or not?

1075
01:40:59,531 --> 01:41:01,722
What would you say if I accepted?

1076
01:41:03,106 --> 01:41:08,465
I'd say that's the first faint
glimmer of common sense I've ever
detected in you.

1077
01:41:18,781 --> 01:41:24,247
Alright, I accept. Now you can go
through the motions of telling me
how delighted you are

1078
01:41:24,310 --> 01:41:27,193
and how I'll have a wonderful time.

1079
01:41:28,350 --> 01:41:29,891
I am delighted.

1080
01:41:30,507 --> 01:41:34,844
But as to a wonderful time, that
will depend entirely on you,
Katherine.

1081
01:41:43,902 --> 01:41:47,730
The murder trials in this Boston
paper my niece sent me are real
interesting, Marilla.

1082
01:41:48,073 --> 01:41:52,662
Full of heathen, that place. I hope
Anne will never go there again.

1083
01:41:54,060 --> 01:42:00,059
Can you imagine that new minister
going on about how he doesn't
believe that all the heathen will
be eternally lost?

1084
01:42:00,084 --> 01:42:06,450
The idea! If they won't be, all the
money we've been sending to the
foreign missions will be completely
wasted. That's what.

1085
01:42:06,814 --> 01:42:11,329
I wouldn't fret if I were you,
Rachel. Goodness knows, the world
is full of beggars

1086
01:42:11,354 --> 01:42:17,733
and it's a pretty pass if we can't
help out a fellow being in need,
Christian or not.

1087
01:42:24,767 --> 01:42:29,942
Marilla Cuthbert! Don't you be
buying any junk from those peddlers
just to satisfy your conscience.

1088
01:42:31,951 --> 01:42:34,238
Oh, it's a ill wind that blows no good.

1089
01:42:35,466 --> 01:42:37,793
Come back here! You'll kill yourself running!

1090
01:42:45,567 --> 01:42:47,192
Anne Shirley!

1091
01:42:48,881 --> 01:42:51,793
I'm home, Marilla. I'm home to stay.

1092
01:42:52,423 --> 01:42:56,617
Oh, blessed child, how I've missed
you. We were looking for you
tomorrow.

1093
01:42:56,642 --> 01:42:58,183
How did you get from Bright Rivers?

1094
01:42:58,208 --> 01:43:01,676
I dearest of Marillas. We left
our luggage at the station.

1095
01:43:01,965 --> 01:43:05,801
I got homesick all at once and I
wanted to show Katherine all my
old haunts.

1096
01:43:06,375 --> 01:43:10,301
Welcome to Green Gables.
-Thank you for having me, Miss Cuthbert.

1097
01:43:12,793 --> 01:43:16,816
Aren't these blossoms fragrant?
Smell them, Marilla. Drink them in.

1098
01:43:17,006 --> 01:43:23,406
Enough of that nonsense. It's you
I want to hear about, not drinking
in blossoms.

1099
01:43:24,139 --> 01:43:29,762
You must be real tired, Katherine.
Come and have a cup of tea on the
veranda.

1100
01:43:30,365 --> 01:43:35,077
Oh, let's go slowly, Marilla. I've
dreamt of this moment all year.

1101
01:43:35,562 --> 01:43:37,504
I want to soak it all in.

1102
01:43:38,245 --> 01:43:43,180
Not if Rachel has anything to do
with it. She'll want to spill out
all the news of Avonlea.

1103
01:43:43,702 --> 01:43:47,911
Hello, Anne Shirley! I have so much
to tell you. There's so much going
on in Avonlea.

1104
01:43:48,687 --> 01:43:53,980
Rachel, I have so much to tell you. It's so good to see you again.

1105
01:43:54,106 --> 01:43:54,942
How are you?

1106
01:43:55,695 --> 01:43:58,707
Rachel, this is Katherine Brooke.
This is Rachel Lynde.
-How do you do?

1107
01:43:59,043 --> 01:44:00,359
Pleased to meet you. Come on in now
you must be....

1108
01:44:03,554 --> 01:44:08,878
Green Gables never changes. That's
the beautiful thing about coming home,

1109
01:44:09,594 --> 01:44:11,283
don't you think?

1110
01:44:17,735 --> 01:44:19,356
Katherine?

1111
01:44:22,838 --> 01:44:24,619
What's wrong?

1112
01:44:26,161 --> 01:44:27,747
Can I help you?

1113
01:44:29,822 --> 01:44:34,721
You can't understand. Everything's
always been so easy for you.

1114
01:44:37,483 --> 01:44:41,693
I'm caught in a trap. I don't
think I'm ever going to be able to
get out.

1115
01:44:42,389 --> 01:44:45,176
You don't hate me any longer, do you?

1116
01:44:45,322 --> 01:44:46,551
Oh, Anne.

1117
01:44:47,325 --> 01:44:50,668
Hate has got to be a disease with me.

1118
01:44:51,584 --> 01:44:58,325
I can never lead a normal life now.
-Yes you can.

1119
01:44:58,869 --> 01:45:02,662
You'll be quite independent and free here.

1120
01:45:03,917 --> 01:45:10,817
When I was a little girl, I
remember an old faded print on my
uncle's wall,

1121
01:45:11,425 --> 01:45:18,333
showing a string of camels around
a desert with a palm spring.

1122
01:45:19,032 --> 01:45:22,975
I've always wanted to travel and see that place.

1123
01:45:23,597 --> 01:45:29,270
To see the Taj Mahal, the pillars
of Karnak.

1124
01:45:30,404 --> 01:45:35,489
I want to know, not just believe,
that the world is round.

1125
01:45:36,585 --> 01:45:39,098
But I can never do it on a teacher's salary.

1126
01:45:40,123 --> 01:45:46,898
I shall have to go on forever prating
about discipline and the inexhaustible
resources of the dominion.

1127
01:45:48,817 --> 01:45:53,270
I always wanted to be your friend, Katherine spelled with a "K."

1128
01:45:53,914 --> 01:45:57,999
Underneath all your prickles, you
really are a kindred spirit.

1129
01:46:03,397 --> 01:46:07,864
Does life never frighten you with
its bleakness, Anne Shirley?

1130
01:46:11,379 --> 01:46:17,426
This is the first place I've ever
been to that feels like a real
home.

1131
01:46:35,769 --> 01:46:40,278
Isn't he perfect?
-He's the most perfect baby I've
ever seen, Diana.

1132
01:46:40,701 --> 01:46:45,872
Every baby is the sweetest and the best.
-Before he came,

1133
01:46:45,897 --> 01:46:52,520
I wanted a girl so I could call her
Anne. But I wouldn't exchange baby
Fred for a million girls.

1134
01:46:52,699 --> 01:46:57,614
If you had an Anne, you'd feel the
same about her.
-Would you like to hold the baby, Katherine?

1135
01:46:58,233 --> 01:47:01,528
No. No, I've never held a baby in
my life.

1136
01:47:02,075 --> 01:47:04,715
Never held a baby? Don't be silly.

1137
01:47:07,035 --> 01:47:09,847
I'm afraid it'd go to pieces in my arms.

1138
01:47:12,607 --> 01:47:15,414
There you are!
He's taken with you, Katherine.

1139
01:47:22,559 --> 01:47:27,619
It feels so good to see you dear
folk again. I want to hear all the
Avonlea news.

1140
01:47:28,195 --> 01:47:34,159
I've grown a whole inch since you
left and now that short Anthony Pye
can't pick on me anymore.

1141
01:47:34,341 --> 01:47:37,433
Can't you think of any more
interesting news than that,
Minnie May?

1142
01:47:37,483 --> 01:47:40,582
Did you know Gilbert Blythe was dying?

1143
01:47:42,035 --> 01:47:44,487
Minnie May, hold your tongue.

1144
01:47:45,131 --> 01:47:49,684
What do you mean, Diana?
-We didn't mean to tell you so
suddenly, Anne.

1145
01:47:49,767 --> 01:47:55,615
He took scarlet fever in mid-term.
He picked it up at the hospital in
Halifax.

1146
01:47:56,597 --> 01:48:02,615
Terrible worn out with school,
I expect. They've got a trained
nurse, and everything's been done.

1147
01:48:49,216 --> 01:48:52,654
I picked this up at the post
office. It's addressed to you.

1148
01:48:54,372 --> 01:49:00,989
My... my book!
-Well, don't sit there shaking
like a leaf. Open it.

1149
01:49:03,293 --> 01:49:05,970
Oh Marilla, this can't be real.

1150
01:49:07,639 --> 01:49:12,320
They accepted my manuscript last
February with a $250 advance.

1151
01:49:13,232 --> 01:49:15,206
Oh, you're a great one for secrets.

1152
01:49:17,922 --> 01:49:21,197
It's not a classic or a romance or
anything important.

1153
01:49:22,092 --> 01:49:26,967
It's just a humorous book of
stories I did about Avonlea in my
spare time last fall.

1154
01:49:29,224 --> 01:49:32,753
Look. But it's mine. It's all mine.

1155
01:49:33,706 --> 01:49:39,182
"To Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert
for their unfailing love and support,

1156
01:49:39,796 --> 01:49:45,543
and for Gilbert, who inspired me
with the idea in the first place."

1157
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:54,019
You do beat all, Anne. Everyone
will think I put you up to it.

1158
01:49:55,062 --> 01:50:00,411
Aw, it's awful good of you,
especially considering Gilbert.

1159
01:50:03,130 --> 01:50:04,715
How sick is he really?

1160
01:50:07,215 --> 01:50:12,504
It's been a bad case from the start.
No one's heard anything the past week.

1161
01:50:15,210 --> 01:50:19,533
He has the Blythe constitution in
his favor, though.

1162
01:50:20,390 --> 01:50:22,367
If God wills it.

1163
01:50:24,396 --> 01:50:26,223
Marilla...

1164
01:50:26,248 --> 01:50:29,140
There's a book of Revelations in everyone's life.

1165
01:50:31,263 --> 01:50:33,545
I've been so wrong.

1166
01:50:34,828 --> 01:50:40,231
If Gil were to--
... not knowing how I really care.

1167
01:50:41,666 --> 01:50:44,379
Oh, there, there. There, now.

1168
01:50:46,450 --> 01:50:48,633
What would I do without him?

1169
01:50:49,829 --> 01:50:55,321
We can't change what God determines.

1170
01:51:07,475 --> 01:51:11,602
That's Jerry Buote. Jerry Buote
works for Mr. Blythe.

1171
01:51:11,633 --> 01:51:13,894
It must be a sign.

1172
01:51:16,577 --> 01:51:19,797
The worst would be more endurable
than not knowing at all.

1173
01:51:29,481 --> 01:51:31,940
Jerry! Jerry!

1174
01:51:34,899 --> 01:51:36,624
Jerry, wait!

1175
01:51:39,094 --> 01:51:42,539
Jerry, do you know how Gilbert
Blythe is doing?

1176
01:51:42,915 --> 01:51:47,697
I think, I think he's bad. The
Blythes are all hoping he's going
to get better.

1177
01:51:47,925 --> 01:51:53,055
I don't know. The doctor figures,
maybe he's going to have a close
shave yet, though.

1178
01:51:53,385 --> 01:51:59,028
Will you ask Mr. Blythe to give
him this for me?
-Come with me if you like. Give
it to him yourself.

1179
01:52:25,527 --> 01:52:28,460
Hello, Gil. It's me.

1180
01:52:37,702 --> 01:52:41,182
I've come to ask you to go for
one of our old-time rambles in
the woods.

1181
01:52:43,664 --> 01:52:45,876
I wish I could go.

1182
01:52:48,132 --> 01:52:51,904
I brought you my book.
I've been published, Gil.

1183
01:52:52,683 --> 01:52:57,844
I wrote about Avonlea, just as you
said I should,

1184
01:52:58,611 --> 01:53:02,557
without any highfaluting mumbo-jumbo.

1185
01:53:04,866 --> 01:53:09,557
I've dedicated the inscription to Marilla and to Matthew,

1186
01:53:10,723 --> 01:53:12,978
And to you.

1187
01:53:14,685 --> 01:53:19,123
I was thinking of saving it as a
wedding gift, and then I just
decided I couldn't wait.

1188
01:53:20,772 --> 01:53:26,403
Anne, there's not going to be any
wedding anymore.

1189
01:53:27,422 --> 01:53:29,920
You're going to get well, Gil.
I know you will.

1190
01:53:31,217 --> 01:53:36,246
I called it off. It wouldn't
have been fair to Christine.

1191
01:53:41,866 --> 01:53:46,097
There would never be anyone for me,
but you.

1192
01:54:05,615 --> 01:54:08,905
Oh, Anne. Summer has flown by so quickly.

1193
01:54:10,972 --> 01:54:15,934
A school teacher really is a slave
of time. I don't know how I'm ever
going to go back.

1194
01:54:16,403 --> 01:54:20,638
Don't be silly. There's always
another bend in the road.

1195
01:54:20,903 --> 01:54:23,108
Bend in the road. There's no
bend in my road.

1196
01:54:23,514 --> 01:54:27,501
I can see it stretching straight
out in front of me to the skyline.

1197
01:54:29,287 --> 01:54:32,989
Katherine, just look at you. You're rosy and healthy.

1198
01:54:33,641 --> 01:54:37,590
And your hair looks so attractive
like that, instead of all pulled back.

1199
01:54:38,395 --> 01:54:43,375
Besides, I happen to know of two
eligible young men who've asked
about you.

1200
01:54:43,735 --> 01:54:47,585
Really?
-They're going to be at the bonfire tonight.

1201
01:54:49,488 --> 01:54:53,737
Oh, I wouldn't know what to say to
them. Will you help me, Anne?

1202
01:54:54,168 --> 01:54:57,255
They'll just laugh at me and
think I'm an old gooseberry.

1203
01:54:57,280 --> 01:55:01,002
-You give yourself far too
little credit, Katherine.

1204
01:55:01,027 --> 01:55:03,437
I wish I had your confidence.

1205
01:55:05,721 --> 01:55:09,238
I can believe almost anything in
this Green Gables of yours.

1206
01:55:10,947 --> 01:55:12,643
Well, mine's full.

1207
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:17,427
I'll be along. I want make sure
Marilla has three full bushels.

1208
01:55:31,468 --> 01:55:33,448
Hello, Anne.
-Hello, Gil.

1209
01:55:33,727 --> 01:55:39,528
You're looking very robust.
-Well, I guess I just made up my
mind I wasn't going to let it lick me.

1210
01:55:42,246 --> 01:55:45,942
Care for a stroll down the lane?
I don't think there are going to be many more

1211
01:55:45,975 --> 01:55:48,606
fine afternoons
like this left in the summer.

1212
01:55:49,099 --> 01:55:51,130
I wish I could, but

1213
01:55:51,155 --> 01:55:54,574
Katherine and I, were off to
Alice Penhallow's bonfire in an hour.

1214
01:55:55,177 --> 01:55:58,012
It's the first party I'm taking
her to and she's very nervous.

1215
01:55:59,659 --> 01:56:02,304
How about I walk you across the pond?

1216
01:56:06,020 --> 01:56:10,423
I was really afraid for you Gil,
until we heard you were over the worst.

1217
01:56:10,643 --> 01:56:15,025
Oh, I was lucky, I suppose. I'm
not quite my old self yet.

1218
01:56:15,716 --> 01:56:18,258
By the time the term starts,
I'll be in fine form.

1219
01:56:19,350 --> 01:56:22,782
I'm glad you came back when you
did, Anne. It meant a lot to me.

1220
01:56:23,313 --> 01:56:28,728
I finally read your book. A fine
piece of work. I knew you could do it.

1221
01:56:29,083 --> 01:56:32,192
Publishers are already planning a
second edition.

1222
01:56:34,304 --> 01:56:37,523
It was a long lesson to learn.
But you were right.

1223
01:56:39,707 --> 01:56:43,386
I'm not going back to Kingsport.
I'm going to stay here at Green
Gables and write.

1224
01:56:43,900 --> 01:56:47,511
The private girls school was too
rough on you, was it?
-No.

1225
01:56:48,321 --> 01:56:51,914
It's just that I went looking for
my ideals outside of myself.

1226
01:56:52,288 --> 01:56:56,551
discovered it's not what the world
holds for you, it's what you bring to it.

1227
01:56:59,585 --> 01:57:03,184
The dreams dearest to my heart
are right here.

1228
01:57:04,119 --> 01:57:06,352
Well, I hope you keep on dreaming.

1229
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:13,310
It will be three years before I
finish medical school,

1230
01:57:14,501 --> 01:57:19,382
and even then, there won't be any diamond sunbursts or marble halls.

1231
01:57:20,432 --> 01:57:22,833
I don't want any sunbursts or marble halls.

1232
01:57:25,639 --> 01:57:28,066
I just want you.
