Anne Shirley : Ten whole months have flown by since
Davy and Dora came to Green Gables.
(0:00:01.53)
Anne Shirley : Right when the children had
really come to feel at home,
(0:00:08.09)
Anne Shirley : we got notice of a most unexpected visit. (0:00:11.31)
Anne Shirley : I'll give you a biscuit in a minute. (0:00:20.14)
Anne Shirley : That's a kind of hunger that
can be endured very comfortably.
(0:00:27.87)
Anne Shirley : Oh, Marilla! (0:00:40.37)
Anne Shirley : What do you think this letter is about? (0:00:41.73)
Marilla Cuthbert : I'm sure I don't know. (0:00:44.27)
Anne Shirley : It's from Priscilla, my friend from Queen's, (0:00:45.22)
Anne Shirley : and she says that Mrs. Morgan
is on the Island.
(0:00:48.52)
Marilla Cuthbert : The Mrs. Morgan who writes those
novels you're always reading?
(0:00:52.67)
Anne Shirley : The very same! (0:00:56.61)
Anne Shirley : The Rosebud Garden is my special favorite. (0:00:57.99)
Anne Shirley : Mrs. Morgan is a distant
relative of Priscilla's,
(0:01:01.87)
Anne Shirley : and if it is fine Thursday, they are going
to drive up to Avonlea for dinner.
(0:01:05.28)
Anne Shirley : Oh, isn't it wonderful? (0:01:10.62)
Anne Shirley : I can hardly believe I'm not dreaming. (0:01:13.15)
Marilla Cuthbert : I daresay Mrs. Morgan is
a lot like other people.
(0:01:15.51)
Anne Shirley : Oh, Marilla, may I cook every
bit of the dinner myself?
(0:01:19.86)
Anne Shirley : I want to feel that I can do something
for the author of The Rosebud Garden .
(0:01:23.68)
Marilla Cuthbert : I daresay you wouldn't
take no for an answer.
(0:01:27.72)
Marilla Cuthbert : You're quite welcome to the job. (0:01:31.30)
Anne Shirley : Oh, thank you! (0:01:33.45)
Anne Shirley : Then we ought to invite
Mr. and Mrs. Allan and Miss Stacy, too.
(0:01:35.16)
Anne Shirley : And I'll ask Diana over to help. (0:01:39.37)
Marilla Cuthbert : You'd better not try to
put on too much style.
(0:01:41.99)
Anne Shirley : I won't! (0:01:44.76)
Anne Shirley : What shall we put on the menu? (0:01:46.22)
Anne Shirley : And how shall we dress the place up? (0:01:48.28)
Anne Shirley : I simply must put on a marvelous
dinner for Mrs. Morgan!
(0:01:50.27)
Anne Shirley : I'll have a light soup to begin with, (0:03:31.45)
Anne Shirley : and then a couple of roast fowls. (0:03:35.11)
Anne Shirley : I'd appreciate it. (0:03:42.91)
Anne Shirley : Then I'll have peas and beans and
creamed potatoes and a lettuce salad.
(0:03:45.79)
Anne Shirley : Dora, would you help me shell the peas? (0:03:51.64)
Anne Shirley : I'm having very important
guests tomorrow, you two.
(0:03:56.25)
Anne Shirley : Promise me you'll be on your best behavior. (0:04:00.77)
Anne Shirley : Good. Then we'll start with a cleaning! (0:04:03.75)
Diana Barry : Say, Anne, (0:04:14.80)
Diana Barry : what do you imagine Mrs. Morgan is like? (0:04:16.39)
Anne Shirley : I've imagined her a
dozen different ways.
(0:04:18.77)
Anne Shirley : What she'll look like,
and what she'll say.
(0:04:22.51)
Anne Shirley : And I'm so anxious about
the freckles on my nose.
(0:04:25.53)
Anne Shirley : All Mrs. Morgan's heroines
have such perfect complexions.
(0:04:29.79)
Diana Barry : They're not very noticeable. (0:04:34.28)
Anne Shirley : Do you think so? (0:04:36.56)
Diana Barry : Try a little lemon juice on them
tonight if they really bother you.
(0:04:38.03)
Anne Shirley : I'll give that a try. (0:04:42.70)
Anne Shirley : I put lemon juice on it. (0:04:49.93)
Anne Shirley : Because I want to look my best. (0:04:55.55)
Anne Shirley : Thank you for all your help today, Davy-boy. (0:04:59.05)
Anne Shirley : Will you promise to behave
yourself again tomorrow?
(0:05:02.91)
Anne Shirley : I couldn't do that, (0:05:10.66)
Anne Shirley : but I'll take you and Dora
for a row in the flat.
(0:05:12.37)
Anne Shirley : You shouldn't do that any day. (0:05:25.03)
Anne Shirley : I won't let that happen. (0:05:32.31)
Anne Shirley : We're having my dear Mrs. Morgan to dinner; (0:05:34.18)
Anne Shirley : I'll make it a wonderful day! (0:05:37.92)
Anne Shirley : It looks like a lovely day. (0:05:47.32)
Diana Barry : Good morning, Anne. (0:05:55.04)
Anne Shirley : Good morning, Diana. (0:05:56.80)
Anne Shirley : You look simply sweet in that apron. (0:05:58.78)
Diana Barry : This is for the preparations. (0:06:00.75)
Diana Barry : Of course I'll wear my
white muslin to dinner.
(0:06:02.71)
Anne Shirley : I know you'll look lovely in it. (0:06:07.00)
Diana Barry : But it's a little tight. (0:06:08.97)
Diana Barry : I weigh four pounds more
than I did last month.
(0:06:10.77)
Diana Barry : Mrs. Morgan's heroines
are all tall and slender.
(0:06:13.47)
Anne Shirley : And what if they are? (0:06:18.00)
Anne Shirley : You're Diana Barry with the dearest dimples. (0:06:20.07)
Anne Shirley : Let's forget our troubles
and think of our mercies.
(0:06:22.76)
Anne Shirley : If I have a freckled nose,
the shape of it is all right.
(0:06:25.82)
Diana Barry : Yes, it is. (0:06:30.40)
Anne Shirley : Do you think the lemon juice did any good? (0:06:31.68)
Diana Barry : Yes, I really think it did. (0:06:34.66)
Anne Shirley : Did it really? Thank goodness! (0:06:36.00)
Diana Barry : I'll help you pick flowers. (0:06:38.30)
Anne Shirley : We'll decorate the parlor first,
then set the table.
(0:06:40.19)
Anne Shirley : Priscilla said they'd
be here about twelve.
(0:06:46.07)
Diana Barry : Yes! (0:06:49.02)
Anne Shirley : Let's put an allusion to
The Rosebud Garden at Mrs. Morgan's place.
(0:06:55.24)
Diana Barry : What a lovely idea! (0:07:00.05)
Anne Shirley : I'm pleased to see you being good, Davy. (0:07:16.09)
Anne Shirley : Now if only my freckles don't
make themselves too obvious.
(0:07:25.43)
Diana Barry : I do hope I'll be able to say
something once in a while.
(0:07:29.13)
Anne Shirley : I don't think there is much fear
that I won't be able to talk.
(0:07:31.72)
Anne Shirley : It was so good of you all to come. (0:07:38.09)
Diana Barry : They're awfully late. (0:07:57.83)
Anne Shirley : Suppose they don't come at all? (0:07:59.71)
Diana Barry : Don't suppose it. (0:08:01.95)
Diana Barry : But they really ought to be here by now. (0:08:03.65)
Marilla Cuthbert : Anne, Miss Stacy wants to
see the willowware platter.
(0:08:11.24)
Anne Shirley : I thought she would. I'm just wiping it. (0:08:16.11)
Anne Shirley : Davy?! (0:08:27.17)
Marilla Cuthbert : Davy Keith, didn't I forbid you to climb
up on that table again? Didn't I?
(0:08:34.82)
Marilla Cuthbert : Well, you march upstairs and
stay there till after dinner!
(0:08:45.05)
Anne Shirley : No, you may not! (0:08:58.34)
Diana Barry : What shall we do for dessert? (0:09:00.94)
Anne Shirley : I think we have a crock
of strawberry preserves.
(0:09:03.83)
Diana Barry : There's plenty of whipped cream
left in the bowl for it.
(0:09:07.51)
Anne Shirley : Something must have delayed them. (0:09:17.54)
Marilla Cuthbert : We cannot keep the Allans or
Miss Stacy waiting any longer.
(0:09:19.99)
Marilla Cuthbert : Shall we go ahead and have dinner now? (0:09:25.01)
Anne Shirley : No, I know that they'll be here. (0:09:28.50)
Anne Shirley : Mrs. Morgan's heroines
always rise to the occasion.
(0:09:31.11)
Diana Barry : Anne, did you put sugar in these peas? (0:09:38.72)
Anne Shirley : Yes, I put a spoonful of
sugar in. We always do.
(0:09:42.59)
Diana Barry : But I put a spoonful in too,
when I set them on the stove.
(0:09:46.47)
Anne Shirley : They're sweet! How awful! (0:09:52.11)
Marilla Cuthbert : It's a case of too many cooks, I guess. (0:09:53.86)
Marilla Cuthbert : I didn't think you'd remember about
the sugar, Anne, so I put in a spoonful.
(0:09:56.98)
Anne Shirley : Well, there will be no green peas today. (0:10:07.29)
Anne Shirley : No! (0:10:16.98)
Marilla Cuthbert : Davy! (0:10:19.36)
Marilla Cuthbert : Did you throw that conch down on purpose?! (0:10:20.51)
Marilla Cuthbert : Well, look what you've done! (0:10:29.48)
Anne Shirley : Don't blame Davy. (0:10:31.23)
Anne Shirley : It was my fault. I set that platter
there and forgot all about it.
(0:10:34.48)
Anne Shirley : Mrs. Morgan?! Now, of all times?! (0:10:41.73)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : Good afternoon. (0:10:47.00)
Marilla Cuthbert : Rachel? (0:10:49.22)
Anne Shirley : O-Oh, it's only you. (0:10:50.66)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : Only me, is it? (0:10:52.97)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : I just came from the post office.
A letter's come for you,
(0:10:55.21)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : and I'm here to deliver it. (0:10:59.41)
Anne Shirley : It's from Priscilla.
She posted it yesterday.
(0:11:01.95)
Anne Shirley : "Oh, Anne dear, I know this is sudden,
but Aunty has sprained her ankle."
(0:11:06.10)
Anne Shirley : "I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid we won't
get up to Green Gables at all now,"
(0:11:10.86)
Anne Shirley : "for by the time Aunty's ankle is well,
she will have to go back to Toronto."
(0:11:14.53)
Mrs. Rachel Lynde : I hope I'm not imposing. (0:11:25.43)
Anne Shirley : It was too good to be true. (0:11:29.46)
Anne Shirley : Perhaps when Diana and I are old and gray,
we shall be able to laugh over today.
(0:11:31.88)
Anne Shirley : But not before then, for it has
truly been a bitter disappointment.
(0:11:37.71)
Anne Shirley : Have you heard about the hall? (0:11:42.20)
Marilla Cuthbert : Yes, they painted it a brilliant blue. (0:11:44.77)
Anne Shirley : They were meant to paint
it a beautiful green.
(0:11:48.72)
Anne Shirley : It was to be the symbol of our society. (0:11:51.63)
Marilla Cuthbert : You are never going to outgrow your fashion
of setting your heart so on things
(0:11:55.59)
Marilla Cuthbert : and then crashing down into despair
because you don't get them.
(0:11:58.73)
Anne Shirley : I know I'm too much inclined that way. (0:12:02.90)
Anne Shirley : When I think something
nice is going to happen,
(0:12:05.96)
Anne Shirley : I seem to fly right up on
the wings of anticipation.
(0:12:09.68)
Anne Shirley : But the flying part is glorious
as long as it lasts.
(0:12:14.73)
Anne Shirley : It's like soaring through a sunset. (0:12:17.69)
Anne Shirley : I think it almost pays for the thud. (0:12:21.12)
Marilla Cuthbert : I'd rather walk calmly along and
do without both flying and thud.
(0:12:25.66)
Marilla Cuthbert : Where's Davy? (0:12:29.10)
Anne Shirley : In bed. I've promised to take him and
Dora to the shore for a picnic tomorrow.
(0:12:31.06)
Anne Shirley : He tried to be good, and I hadn't
the heart to disappoint him.
(0:12:36.63)
Marilla Cuthbert : You'll drown yourself or the twins,
rowing about the pond in that flat.
(0:12:40.31)
Anne Shirley : Suppose you come with us tomorrow. (0:12:45.52)
Marilla Cuthbert : No, thank you. (0:12:47.36)
Marilla Cuthbert : There's Gilbert coming up the lane. (0:12:49.48)
Marilla Cuthbert : Why don't you invite him
for a row on the pond?
(0:12:54.46)
Anne Shirley : Yes, perhaps I will. (0:12:57.49)
Gilbert Blythe : Be careful! (0:13:18.43)
Gilbert Blythe : I know the feeling, Davy,
but do you know how to swim?
(0:13:23.99)
Gilbert Blythe : Then don't say you wouldn't mind falling in. (0:13:29.06)
Gilbert Blythe : You'll get a great bloated belly
full of water if you drown.
(0:13:31.50)
Gilbert Blythe : Do you know how to swim, Dora? (0:13:40.89)
Gilbert Blythe : Then I'll teach you sometime. (0:13:44.32)
Anne Shirley : No. We didn't bring swimming things today. (0:13:58.31)
Anne Shirley : Paul. (0:14:29.35)
Anne Shirley : Are you visiting a grave, too? (0:14:31.77)
Anne Shirley : Your mother passed away in
the States, didn't she?
(0:14:46.90)
Anne Shirley : Paul... (0:15:05.50)
Anne Shirley : And yet you wouldn't
want it to stop hurting.
(0:15:15.91)
Anne Shirley : You wouldn't want to forget your
little mother even if you could.
(0:15:21.13)
Anne Shirley : Paul... (0:15:48.12)
Anne Shirley : See here, Paul, you mustn't blame yourself.
Nor your father, of course.
(0:15:52.34)
Anne Shirley : Goodness! (0:16:10.79)
Anne Shirley : Yes, and I love you, too, Paul. (0:16:18.16)
Anne Shirley : If you don't mind, would you
tell me about your mother?
(0:16:22.02)
Marilla Cuthbert : Now, Davy, you try to be a good
boy and don't bother Anne.
(0:16:52.19)
Marilla Cuthbert : You'll have to guard against accidents. (0:17:03.33)
Marilla Cuthbert : Anne, if Mr. Shearer comes
today, get some steak.
(0:17:06.65)
Anne Shirley : I'll remember. (0:17:12.17)
Marilla Cuthbert : Well then, I'd best be off. (0:17:13.65)
Anne Shirley : Come along, Davy-boy.
You'll help me clean the house today.
(0:17:17.84)
Anne Shirley : Not till we're done! (0:17:26.16)
Anne Shirley : More rampant than ever. (0:17:38.88)
Anne Shirley : My freckle lotion. I found the
recipe for it in a magazine.
(0:17:46.06)
Anne Shirley : Here it is! (0:17:50.20)
Anne Shirley : That must be Mr. Shearer. (0:17:58.66)
Anne Shirley : Here I am! (0:18:01.42)
Anne Shirley : Mr. Shearer, we'd like some steak and... (0:18:03.13)
Anne Shirley : M-M-Mrs. Morgan?! (0:18:15.74)
Anne Shirley : W-Welcome to Green Gables. (0:18:18.61)
Anne Shirley : It's an honor to meet you. (0:18:21.46)
Anne Shirley : My name is Anne Shirley. (0:18:23.57)
Anne Shirley : I didn't expect Mrs. Morgan to be
a stout little gray-haired woman.
(0:18:28.30)
Anne Shirley : In any event, this is all awfully sudden.
I can still feel my heart racing.
(0:18:37.67)
Anne Shirley : My freckles, you mean! (0:18:52.86)
Anne Shirley : I know, but it's no use fretting. (0:18:54.23)
Anne Shirley : I'll run and get things ready for tea. (0:18:56.39)
Anne Shirley : Thank goodness Marilla made preserves. (0:19:00.51)
Diana Barry : Do you have company, Anne?
I saw a strange carriage outside.
(0:19:04.91)
Anne Shirley : Diana, you couldn't have
come at a better time.
(0:19:09.08)
Anne Shirley : Who do you suppose is in that
parlor at this very moment?
(0:19:11.78)
Anne Shirley : Oh, Diana, don't look at me so.
You, at least, must be used to my freckles.
(0:19:16.29)
Diana Barry : It isn't your freckles, Anne.
It's your nose.
(0:19:20.84)
Anne Shirley : My nose? Surely nothing
has gone wrong with it!
(0:19:24.24)
Anne Shirley : What? (0:19:30.75)
Anne Shirley : What?! (0:19:31.49)
Diana Barry : What is the matter with it? (0:19:36.23)
Anne Shirley : I thought I was rubbing
my freckle lotion on it,
(0:19:38.44)
Anne Shirley : but I must have used that red dye Marilla
has for marking the pattern on her rugs.
(0:19:40.62)
Anne Shirley : What shall I do? (0:19:44.62)
Diana Barry : It's blazing scarlet,
although I don't like to say so.
(0:19:46.53)
Anne Shirley : I don't care how much it hurts!
Scrub as hard as you can!
(0:19:52.92)
Diana Barry : I'm trying to! (0:19:57.78)
Anne Shirley : First I dye my hair; then I dye my nose. (0:19:58.88)
Anne Shirley : Marilla cut my hair off when I dyed it (0:20:04.91)
Anne Shirley : but that remedy would hardly
be practicable in this case.
(0:20:07.01)
Diana Barry : It's awfully stubborn! (0:20:09.64)
Anne Shirley : Wait, that hurts! It hurts! (0:20:11.11)
Anne Shirley : What good will rubbing it even redder do?! (0:20:14.00)
Diana Barry : You said you didn't mind if it hurt! (0:20:17.27)
Anne Shirley : Yes. Marilla made them. (0:20:26.96)
Anne Shirley : Yes, of course. (0:20:34.57)
Anne Shirley : And so I brushed on the dye, trying to turn
my hair black, but it came out green .
(0:20:42.36)
Anne Shirley : Even red hair was better than that. (0:20:47.84)
Anne Shirley : Yet here I am four years later, (0:20:52.34)
Anne Shirley : turning my nose red with what
I thought was freckle cream.
(0:20:54.14)
Anne Shirley : I certainly am clumsy with dyes! (0:20:58.36)
Anne Shirley : Take care! (0:21:11.74)
Anne Shirley : It has indeed been a feast of reason
and flow of soul, hasn't it?
(0:21:21.45)
Anne Shirley : I don't know which I enjoyed more, (0:21:25.38)
Anne Shirley : listening to Mrs. Morgan or
gazing at Mrs. Pendexter.
(0:21:29.14)
Diana Barry : Mrs. Pendexter is rich, and yet she took
a second helping of the plum preserves.
(0:21:33.93)
Anne Shirley : I daresay even an English earl (0:21:39.42)
Anne Shirley : wouldn't have turned up his aristocratic
nose at Marilla's plum preserves.
(0:21:41.59)
Anne Shirley : I shall never try any
beautifying messes again.
(0:21:49.43)
Anne Shirley : A few freckles are preferable to a red nose. (0:21:52.97)
Anne Shirley : I'm more like myself with them. (0:21:59.96)
