WEBVTT
00:01.550 --> 00:08.110
Ten whole months have flown by since
Davy and Dora came to Green Gables.
00:08.110 --> 00:11.330
Right when the children had
really come to feel at home,
00:11.330 --> 00:14.990
we got notice of a most unexpected visit.
00:16.910 --> 00:20.160
I'm awful hungry.
00:20.160 --> 00:22.530
I'll give you a biscuit in a minute.
00:22.530 --> 00:25.500
But I ain't biscuit hungry.
00:25.500 --> 00:27.890
I'm plum cake hungry.
00:27.890 --> 00:32.480
That's a kind of hunger that
can be endured very comfortably.
00:34.430 --> 00:36.500
Well, gimme a biscuit, then.
00:40.390 --> 00:41.750
Oh, Marilla!
00:41.750 --> 00:44.290
What do you think this letter is about?
00:44.290 --> 00:45.240
I'm sure I don't know.
00:45.240 --> 00:48.540
It's from Priscilla, my friend from Queen's,
00:48.540 --> 00:52.250
and she says that Mrs. Morgan
is on the Island.
00:52.690 --> 00:56.630
The Mrs. Morgan who writes those
novels you're always reading?
00:56.630 --> 00:58.010
The very same!
00:58.010 --> 01:01.890
The Rosebud Garden is my special favorite.
01:01.890 --> 01:05.300
Mrs. Morgan is a distant
relative of Priscilla's,
01:05.300 --> 01:10.640
and if it is fine Thursday, they are going
to drive up to Avonlea for dinner.
01:10.640 --> 01:13.170
Oh, isn't it wonderful?
01:13.170 --> 01:15.530
I can hardly believe I'm not dreaming.
01:15.530 --> 01:19.580
I daresay Mrs. Morgan is
a lot like other people.
01:19.880 --> 01:23.700
Oh, Marilla, may I cook every
bit of the dinner myself?
01:23.700 --> 01:27.740
I want to feel that I can do something
for the author of The Rosebud Garden.
01:27.740 --> 01:31.320
I daresay you wouldn't
take no for an answer.
01:31.320 --> 01:33.470
You're quite welcome to the job.
01:33.470 --> 01:35.180
Oh, thank you!
01:35.180 --> 01:39.390
Then we ought to invite
Mr. and Mrs. Allan and Miss Stacy, too.
01:39.390 --> 01:41.790
And I'll ask Diana over to help.
01:42.010 --> 01:44.780
You'd better not try to
put on too much style.
01:44.780 --> 01:45.820
I won't!
01:46.240 --> 01:48.300
What shall we put on the menu?
01:48.300 --> 01:50.020
And how shall we dress the place up?
01:50.290 --> 01:55.540
I simply must put on a marvelous
dinner for Mrs. Morgan!
03:25.990 --> 03:31.000
Chapter 13
03:25.990 --> 03:31.000
When I Think Something Nice Is Going to Happen,
I Seem to Fly Right Up On the Wings of Anticipation
03:31.470 --> 03:35.130
I'll have a light soup to begin with,
03:35.130 --> 03:38.370
and then a couple of roast fowls.
03:38.370 --> 03:42.930
If Marilla'll hold them by
the legs, I'll manage the axe.
03:42.930 --> 03:44.850
I'd appreciate it.
03:45.810 --> 03:51.270
Then I'll have peas and beans and
creamed potatoes and a lettuce salad.
03:51.660 --> 03:55.350
Dora, would you help me shell the peas?
03:55.350 --> 03:56.270
Of course.
03:56.270 --> 04:00.790
I'm having very important
guests tomorrow, you two.
04:00.790 --> 04:02.610
Promise me you'll be on your best behavior.
04:02.610 --> 04:03.770
We will!
04:03.770 --> 04:06.570
Good. Then we'll start with a cleaning!
04:14.820 --> 04:15.950
Say, Anne,
04:16.410 --> 04:18.790
what do you imagine Mrs. Morgan is like?
04:18.790 --> 04:22.530
I've imagined her a
dozen different ways.
04:22.530 --> 04:25.550
What she'll look like,
and what she'll say.
04:25.550 --> 04:29.810
And I'm so anxious about
the freckles on my nose.
04:29.810 --> 04:34.300
All Mrs. Morgan's heroines
have such perfect complexions.
04:34.300 --> 04:36.580
They're not very noticeable.
04:36.580 --> 04:38.050
Do you think so?
04:38.050 --> 04:42.060
Try a little lemon juice on them
tonight if they really bother you.
04:42.720 --> 04:44.220
I'll give that a try.
04:45.550 --> 04:49.660
Anne, why's your nose all
shiny? I want to know.
04:49.950 --> 04:51.830
I put lemon juice on it.
04:51.830 --> 04:54.540
What'd you want to do that for?
04:55.570 --> 04:57.530
Because I want to look my best.
04:57.790 --> 04:59.070
Huh.
04:59.070 --> 05:02.930
Thank you for all your help today, Davy-boy.
05:02.930 --> 05:05.050
Will you promise to behave
yourself again tomorrow?
05:05.050 --> 05:07.890
If I'm as good as good
can be all day tomorrow.
05:07.890 --> 05:10.680
will you let me be just as bad
as I like all the next day?
05:10.680 --> 05:12.390
I couldn't do that,
05:12.390 --> 05:16.360
but I'll take you and Dora
for a row in the flat.
05:16.360 --> 05:18.450
Really? It's a bargain!
05:18.450 --> 05:23.400
I meant to go over to Mr. Harrison's and
fire peas from my new popgun at Ginger,
05:23.400 --> 05:25.050
but another day'll do as well.
05:25.050 --> 05:26.820
You shouldn't do that any day.
05:27.540 --> 05:32.080
I bet tomorrow'll be no fun,
since I'll have to be good all the time.
05:32.330 --> 05:34.200
I won't let that happen.
05:34.200 --> 05:37.940
We're having my dear Mrs. Morgan to dinner;
05:37.940 --> 05:40.330
I'll make it a wonderful day!
05:47.340 --> 05:50.090
It looks like a lovely day.
05:55.060 --> 05:56.820
Good morning, Anne.
05:56.820 --> 05:58.800
Good morning, Diana.
05:58.800 --> 06:00.770
You look simply sweet in that apron.
06:00.770 --> 06:02.730
This is for the preparations.
06:02.730 --> 06:06.650
Of course I'll wear my
white muslin to dinner.
06:07.020 --> 06:08.990
I know you'll look lovely in it.
06:08.990 --> 06:10.790
But it's a little tight.
06:10.790 --> 06:13.490
I weigh four pounds more
than I did last month.
06:13.490 --> 06:17.790
Mrs. Morgan's heroines
are all tall and slender.
06:18.020 --> 06:20.090
And what if they are?
06:20.090 --> 06:22.780
You're Diana Barry with the dearest dimples.
06:22.780 --> 06:25.840
Let's forget our troubles
and think of our mercies.
06:25.840 --> 06:30.140
If I have a freckled nose,
the shape of it is all right.
06:30.420 --> 06:31.700
Yes, it is.
06:31.700 --> 06:34.310
Do you think the lemon juice did any good?
06:34.680 --> 06:36.020
Yes, I really think it did.
06:36.020 --> 06:38.320
Did it really? Thank goodness!
06:38.320 --> 06:40.210
I'll help you pick flowers.
06:40.210 --> 06:46.090
We'll decorate the parlor first,
then set the table.
06:46.090 --> 06:49.040
Priscilla said they'd
be here about twelve.
06:49.040 --> 06:49.810
Yes!
06:55.260 --> 06:59.130
Let's put an allusion to
The Rosebud Garden at Mrs. Morgan's place.
07:00.070 --> 07:01.580
What a lovely idea!
07:16.110 --> 07:19.240
I'm pleased to see you being good, Davy.
07:19.240 --> 07:21.740
I promised, didn't I?
07:25.450 --> 07:29.150
Now if only my freckles don't
make themselves too obvious.
07:29.150 --> 07:31.740
I do hope I'll be able to say
something once in a while.
07:31.740 --> 07:35.050
I don't think there is much fear
that I won't be able to talk.
07:38.110 --> 07:40.950
It was so good of you all to come.
07:41.290 --> 07:44.580
Thank you for inviting us today.
07:44.580 --> 07:46.820
The thought of it has brightened our days.
07:46.820 --> 07:49.830
How nice to see you again, Anne, Diana.
07:49.830 --> 07:51.720
You both look charming.
07:52.590 --> 07:54.470
Thank you very much.
07:57.850 --> 07:59.730
They're awfully late.
07:59.730 --> 08:01.970
Suppose they don't come at all?
08:01.970 --> 08:03.230
Don't suppose it.
08:03.670 --> 08:07.300
But they really ought to be here by now.
08:11.260 --> 08:16.130
Anne, Miss Stacy wants to
see the willowware platter.
08:16.130 --> 08:18.760
I thought she would. I'm just wiping it.
08:27.190 --> 08:28.160
Davy?!
08:28.440 --> 08:33.470
I finished raveling out my herring net
and went to put it on the shelf, only...
08:34.840 --> 08:38.460
Davy Keith, didn't I forbid you to climb
up on that table again? Didn't I?
08:38.460 --> 08:40.840
I forgot.
08:41.080 --> 08:44.610
You've told me not to do such an awful lot
of things that I can't remember them all.
08:45.070 --> 08:47.800
Well, you march upstairs and
stay there till after dinner!
08:48.610 --> 08:52.660
I didn't mean to fall on the pie.
08:52.660 --> 08:56.990
Since it's spoiled, can't I take
some of the pieces upstairs with me?
08:58.360 --> 09:00.000
No, you may not!
09:00.960 --> 09:03.850
What shall we do for dessert?
09:03.850 --> 09:07.530
I think we have a crock
of strawberry preserves.
09:07.530 --> 09:10.750
There's plenty of whipped cream
left in the bowl for it.
09:17.560 --> 09:20.010
Something must have delayed them.
09:20.010 --> 09:25.030
We cannot keep the Allans or
Miss Stacy waiting any longer.
09:25.030 --> 09:28.520
Shall we go ahead and have dinner now?
09:28.520 --> 09:31.130
No, I know that they'll be here.
09:31.130 --> 09:33.920
Mrs. Morgan's heroines
always rise to the occasion.
09:38.740 --> 09:42.610
Anne, did you put sugar in these peas?
09:42.610 --> 09:46.490
Yes, I put a spoonful of
sugar in. We always do.
09:46.490 --> 09:49.870
But I put a spoonful in too,
when I set them on the stove.
09:52.130 --> 09:53.880
They're sweet! How awful!
09:53.880 --> 09:57.000
It's a case of too many cooks, I guess.
09:57.000 --> 10:02.500
I didn't think you'd remember about
the sugar, Anne, so I put in a spoonful.
10:07.310 --> 10:11.130
Well, there will be no green peas today.
10:17.000 --> 10:18.540
No!
10:19.380 --> 10:20.530
Davy!
10:20.530 --> 10:23.420
Did you throw that conch down on purpose?!
10:23.420 --> 10:29.500
No, I never did. I got hungry and tried
to go downstairs and my hand slipped.
10:29.500 --> 10:31.250
Well, look what you've done!
10:31.250 --> 10:33.530
Don't blame Davy.
10:34.500 --> 10:38.970
It was my fault. I set that platter
there and forgot all about it.
10:41.750 --> 10:44.620
Mrs. Morgan?! Now, of all times?!
10:47.020 --> 10:48.520
Good afternoon.
10:49.240 --> 10:50.680
Rachel?
10:50.680 --> 10:52.990
O-Oh, it's only you.
10:52.990 --> 10:55.230
Only me, is it?
10:55.230 --> 10:59.430
I just came from the post office.
A letter's come for you,
10:59.430 --> 11:01.450
and I'm here to deliver it.
11:01.970 --> 11:05.350
It's from Priscilla.
She posted it yesterday.
11:06.120 --> 11:10.620
"Oh, Anne dear, I know this is sudden,
but Aunty has sprained her ankle."
11:10.880 --> 11:14.550
"I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid we won't
get up to Green Gables at all now,"
11:14.550 --> 11:20.930
"for by the time Aunty's ankle is well,
she will have to go back to Toronto."
11:25.450 --> 11:28.230
I hope I'm not imposing.
11:29.480 --> 11:31.900
It was too good to be true.
11:31.900 --> 11:37.730
Perhaps when Diana and I are old and gray,
we shall be able to laugh over today.
11:37.730 --> 11:41.910
But not before then, for it has
truly been a bitter disappointment.
11:42.220 --> 11:44.790
Have you heard about the hall?
11:44.790 --> 11:48.120
Yes, they painted it a brilliant blue.
11:48.740 --> 11:51.650
They were meant to paint
it a beautiful green.
11:51.650 --> 11:55.610
It was to be the symbol of our society.
11:55.610 --> 11:58.750
You are never going to outgrow your fashion
of setting your heart so on things
11:58.750 --> 12:02.920
and then crashing down into despair
because you don't get them.
12:02.920 --> 12:05.650
I know I'm too much inclined that way.
12:05.980 --> 12:09.700
When I think something
nice is going to happen,
12:09.700 --> 12:14.310
I seem to fly right up on
the wings of anticipation.
12:14.750 --> 12:17.710
But the flying part is glorious
as long as it lasts.
12:17.710 --> 12:21.140
It's like soaring through a sunset.
12:21.140 --> 12:25.440
I think it almost pays for the thud.
12:25.680 --> 12:28.690
I'd rather walk calmly along and
do without both flying and thud.
12:29.120 --> 12:31.080
Where's Davy?
12:31.080 --> 12:36.330
In bed. I've promised to take him and
Dora to the shore for a picnic tomorrow.
12:36.650 --> 12:39.850
He tried to be good, and I hadn't
the heart to disappoint him.
12:40.330 --> 12:45.220
You'll drown yourself or the twins,
rowing about the pond in that flat.
12:45.540 --> 12:47.380
Suppose you come with us tomorrow.
12:47.380 --> 12:49.500
No, thank you.
12:49.500 --> 12:53.520
There's Gilbert coming up the lane.
12:54.480 --> 12:57.060
Why don't you invite him
for a row on the pond?
12:57.510 --> 13:00.700
Yes, perhaps I will.
13:15.220 --> 13:18.140
Nothing beats a boat!
13:18.450 --> 13:19.370
Be careful!
13:21.670 --> 13:24.010
I wouldn't have minded if I fell in!
13:24.010 --> 13:27.850
I know the feeling, Davy,
but do you know how to swim?
13:27.850 --> 13:29.080
Not a bit!
13:29.080 --> 13:31.520
Then don't say you wouldn't mind falling in.
13:31.520 --> 13:35.100
You'll get a great bloated belly
full of water if you drown.
13:35.470 --> 13:37.020
Would I?!
13:37.520 --> 13:39.980
I'd like a big, full belly!
13:40.910 --> 13:42.600
Do you know how to swim, Dora?
13:42.600 --> 13:44.340
No, I don't.
13:44.340 --> 13:46.390
Then I'll teach you sometime.
13:46.390 --> 13:47.590
Would you really?!
13:47.590 --> 13:50.360
I love you, Gilbert!
13:50.360 --> 13:54.030
But I bet I could swim,
even if I'd never learned how.
13:54.030 --> 13:58.330
The boat's so much fun,
it makes me want to give it a try.
13:58.330 --> 14:00.530
No. We didn't bring swimming things today.
14:00.800 --> 14:02.640
Oh, you're no fun.
14:02.640 --> 14:05.840
I wanted a soak and a splash.
14:05.840 --> 14:08.060
Say, do you think I could swim to that bank?
14:26.360 --> 14:27.920
Teacher!
14:29.370 --> 14:30.650
Paul.
14:31.790 --> 14:33.990
Are you visiting a grave, too?
14:33.990 --> 14:34.960
Yes.
14:34.960 --> 14:39.130
I'm taking this bouquet of geraniums to
put on Grandpa Irving's grave for Grandma.
14:39.130 --> 14:44.100
And I'm leaving this bunch of white roses
in memory of my little mother.
14:46.920 --> 14:50.760
Your mother passed away in
the States, didn't she?
14:50.760 --> 14:55.610
Yes. It's just three years
today since she died.
14:56.080 --> 15:00.220
I'm sure Father will be visiting her grave
in Boston soon, if he hasn't already.
15:02.660 --> 15:05.240
It's been three whole years.
15:05.520 --> 15:06.960
Paul...
15:06.960 --> 15:10.730
Such a long, long time but it
hurts just as much as ever.
15:11.060 --> 15:15.240
Sometimes it seems to me that
I just can't bear it, it hurts so.
15:15.930 --> 15:20.120
And yet you wouldn't
want it to stop hurting.
15:21.150 --> 15:29.140
You wouldn't want to forget your
little mother even if you could.
15:30.130 --> 15:33.140
You're so good at understanding, teacher.
15:33.490 --> 15:39.640
I couldn't talk much to Father about Mother,
because it made him feel so bad.
15:39.900 --> 15:47.540
When he put his hand over his face,
I always knew it was time to stop.
15:48.140 --> 15:49.500
Paul...
15:52.360 --> 15:58.660
See here, Paul, you mustn't blame yourself.
Nor your father, of course.
15:59.280 --> 16:02.920
Father's splendid when
you do get to know him.
16:03.990 --> 16:08.970
I love him the best in all the world,
and Grandma Irving next,
16:08.970 --> 16:10.810
and then you, teacher.
16:10.810 --> 16:11.680
Goodness!
16:11.680 --> 16:16.200
I'd love you next to father if it wasn't
my duty to love Grandma Irving best,
16:16.200 --> 16:18.180
because she's doing so much for me.
16:18.180 --> 16:22.040
Yes, and I love you, too, Paul.
16:22.040 --> 16:25.200
If you don't mind, would you
tell me about your mother?
16:25.200 --> 16:26.190
Of course.
16:26.960 --> 16:30.550
Mrs. Lynde came over the other day.
16:30.550 --> 16:32.630
She looked at a photo of Mother and said,
16:32.630 --> 16:39.860
"She's a real pretty woman, but I daresay
your father will find another wife."
16:39.860 --> 16:43.530
She gave me such a shock, I thought
I might die then and there.
16:52.210 --> 16:56.880
Now, Davy, you try to be a good
boy and don't bother Anne.
16:57.220 --> 17:03.350
I won't be bad on purpose,
but s'posen I'm bad zacksidentally?
17:03.350 --> 17:06.670
You'll have to guard against accidents.
17:06.670 --> 17:12.190
Anne, if Mr. Shearer comes
today, get some steak.
17:12.190 --> 17:13.670
I'll remember.
17:13.670 --> 17:15.460
Well then, I'd best be off.
17:15.460 --> 17:17.240
Take care.
17:17.860 --> 17:22.660
Come along, Davy-boy.
You'll help me clean the house today.
17:22.660 --> 17:23.870
All right.
17:24.150 --> 17:26.180
But I want a cookie first.
17:26.180 --> 17:27.870
Not till we're done!
17:38.900 --> 17:40.730
More rampant than ever.
17:43.660 --> 17:46.080
What're you looking for, Anne?
17:46.080 --> 17:49.850
My freckle lotion. I found the
recipe for it in a magazine.
17:50.220 --> 17:51.730
Here it is!
17:58.680 --> 18:00.230
That must be Mr. Shearer.
18:01.440 --> 18:03.150
Here I am!
18:03.150 --> 18:06.320
Mr. Shearer, we'd like some steak and...
18:06.320 --> 18:08.780
It's dreadful to come upon
you so unexpectedly as this.
18:08.780 --> 18:12.000
This is Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Pendexter.
18:15.760 --> 18:18.630
M-M-Mrs. Morgan?!
18:18.630 --> 18:21.480
W-Welcome to Green Gables.
18:21.480 --> 18:23.590
It's an honor to meet you.
18:23.590 --> 18:26.610
My name is Anne Shirley.
18:28.320 --> 18:32.020
I didn't expect Mrs. Morgan to be
a stout little gray-haired woman.
18:32.020 --> 18:35.210
The tall one is Mrs. Pendexter.
18:35.210 --> 18:37.690
She lives in New York and her
husband is a millionaire.
18:37.690 --> 18:41.860
In any event, this is all awfully sudden.
I can still feel my heart racing.
18:41.860 --> 18:46.200
I'm so sorry. Aunty's ankle felt better
sooner than we expected,
18:46.200 --> 18:49.600
and she wanted to meet you,
so I brought her over.
18:49.600 --> 18:52.880
But really, Anne, your nose...
18:52.880 --> 18:54.250
My freckles, you mean!
18:54.250 --> 18:56.410
I know, but it's no use fretting.
18:56.410 --> 18:58.630
I'll run and get things ready for tea.
19:00.530 --> 19:04.240
Thank goodness Marilla made preserves.
19:04.930 --> 19:09.100
Do you have company, Anne?
I saw a strange carriage outside.
19:09.100 --> 19:11.800
Diana, you couldn't have
come at a better time.
19:11.800 --> 19:15.250
Who do you suppose is in that
parlor at this very moment?
19:16.310 --> 19:20.860
Oh, Diana, don't look at me so.
You, at least, must be used to my freckles.
19:20.860 --> 19:23.860
It isn't your freckles, Anne.
It's your nose.
19:24.260 --> 19:27.860
My nose? Surely nothing
has gone wrong with it!
19:30.770 --> 19:31.510
What?
19:31.510 --> 19:33.880
What?!
19:36.250 --> 19:38.460
What is the matter with it?
19:38.460 --> 19:40.640
I thought I was rubbing
my freckle lotion on it,
19:40.640 --> 19:44.640
but I must have used that red dye Marilla
has for marking the pattern on her rugs.
19:44.640 --> 19:46.550
What shall I do?
19:46.550 --> 19:50.680
It's blazing scarlet,
although I don't like to say so.
19:52.940 --> 19:57.800
I don't care how much it hurts!
Scrub as hard as you can!
19:57.800 --> 19:58.900
I'm trying to!
19:58.900 --> 20:04.930
First I dye my hair; then I dye my nose.
20:04.930 --> 20:07.030
Marilla cut my hair off when I dyed it
20:07.030 --> 20:09.660
but that remedy would hardly
be practicable in this case.
20:09.660 --> 20:11.130
It's awfully stubborn!
20:11.130 --> 20:14.020
Wait, that hurts! It hurts!
20:14.020 --> 20:17.290
What good will rubbing it even redder do?!
20:17.290 --> 20:19.660
You said you didn't mind if it hurt!
20:22.710 --> 20:26.980
These preserved plums taste delightful.
20:26.980 --> 20:29.600
Yes. Marilla made them.
20:29.600 --> 20:32.310
A really refined flavor.
20:32.310 --> 20:34.590
May I ask for another helping?
20:34.590 --> 20:36.600
Yes, of course.
20:42.380 --> 20:47.860
And so I brushed on the dye, trying to turn
my hair black, but it came out green.
20:47.860 --> 20:50.830
Even red hair was better than that.
20:52.360 --> 20:54.160
Yet here I am four years later,
20:54.160 --> 20:58.380
turning my nose red with what
I thought was freckle cream.
20:58.380 --> 21:01.390
I certainly am clumsy with dyes!
21:09.190 --> 21:11.190
Good day.
21:11.760 --> 21:13.890
Take care!
21:12.110 --> 21:13.890
Bye-bye!
21:21.470 --> 21:24.660
It has indeed been a feast of reason
and flow of soul, hasn't it?
21:25.400 --> 21:29.160
I don't know which I enjoyed more,
21:29.160 --> 21:33.950
listening to Mrs. Morgan or
gazing at Mrs. Pendexter.
21:33.950 --> 21:39.210
Mrs. Pendexter is rich, and yet she took
a second helping of the plum preserves.
21:39.440 --> 21:41.610
I daresay even an English earl
21:41.610 --> 21:45.460
wouldn't have turned up his aristocratic
nose at Marilla's plum preserves.
21:49.450 --> 21:52.990
I shall never try any
beautifying messes again.
21:52.990 --> 21:58.370
A few freckles are preferable to a red nose.
21:59.980 --> 22:02.650
I'm more like myself with them.
23:57.010 --> 24:00.010
Next Time
23:57.010 --> 24:00.010
It Is Never Too Late for the Real Prince
to Come for the True Princess
