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) |
