[00:01] Anne
    Ten whole months have flown by since
    Davy and Dora came to Green Gables.
[00:08] Anne
    Right when the children had
    really come to feel at home,
[00:11] Anne
    we got notice of a most unexpected visit.
[00:16] Davy
    I'm awful hungry.
[00:20] Anne
    I'll give you a biscuit in a minute.
[00:22] Davy
    But I ain't biscuit hungry.
[00:25] Davy
    I'm plum cake hungry.
[00:27] Anne
    That's a kind of hunger that
    can be endured very comfortably.
[00:34] Davy
    Well, gimme a biscuit, then.
[00:40] Anne
    Oh, Marilla!
[00:41] Anne
    What do you think this letter is about?
[00:44] Marilla
    I'm sure I don't know.
[00:45] Anne
    It's from Priscilla, my friend from Queen's,
[00:48] Anne
    and she says that Mrs. Morgan
    is on the Island.
[00:52] Marilla
    The Mrs. Morgan who writes those
    novels you're always reading?
[00:56] Anne
    The very same!
[00:57] Anne
    The Rosebud Garden is my special favorite.
[01:01] Anne
    Mrs. Morgan is a distant
    relative of Priscilla's,
[01:05] Anne
    and if it is fine Thursday, they are going
    to drive up to Avonlea for dinner.
[01:10] Anne
    Oh, isn't it wonderful?
[01:13] Anne
    I can hardly believe I'm not dreaming.
[01:15] Marilla
    I daresay Mrs. Morgan is
    a lot like other people.
[01:19] Anne
    Oh, Marilla, may I cook every
    bit of the dinner myself?
[01:23] Anne
    I want to feel that I can do something
    for the author of The Rosebud Garden.
[01:27] Marilla
    I daresay you wouldn't
    take no for an answer.
[01:31] Marilla
    You're quite welcome to the job.
[01:33] Anne
    Oh, thank you!
[01:35] Anne
    Then we ought to invite
    Mr. and Mrs. Allan and Miss Stacy, too.
[01:39] Anne
    And I'll ask Diana over to help.
[01:41] Marilla
    You'd better not try to
    put on too much style.
[01:44] Anne
    I won't!
[01:46] Anne
    What shall we put on the menu?
[01:48] Anne
    And how shall we dress the place up?
[01:50] Anne
    I simply must put on a marvelous
    dinner for Mrs. Morgan!

[03:31] Anne
    I'll have a light soup to begin with,
[03:35] Anne
    and then a couple of roast fowls.
[03:38] Davy
    If Marilla'll hold them by
    the legs, I'll manage the axe.
[03:42] Anne
    I'd appreciate it.
[03:45] Anne
    Then I'll have peas and beans and
    creamed potatoes and a lettuce salad.
[03:51] Anne
    Dora, would you help me shell the peas?
[03:55] Dora
    Of course.
[03:56] Anne
    I'm having very important
    guests tomorrow, you two.
[04:00] Anne
    Promise me you'll be on your best behavior.
[04:02] Davy; Dora
    We will!
[04:03] Anne
    Good. Then we'll start with a cleaning!
[04:14] Diana
    Say, Anne,
[04:16] Diana
    what do you imagine Mrs. Morgan is like?
[04:18] Anne
    I've imagined her a
    dozen different ways.
[04:22] Anne
    What she'll look like,
    and what she'll say.
[04:25] Anne
    And I'm so anxious about
    the freckles on my nose.
[04:29] Anne
    All Mrs. Morgan's heroines
    have such perfect complexions.
[04:34] Diana
    They're not very noticeable.
[04:36] Anne
    Do you think so?
[04:38] Diana
    Try a little lemon juice on them
    tonight if they really bother you.
[04:42] Anne
    I'll give that a try.
[04:45] Davy
    Anne, why's your nose all
    shiny? I want to know.
[04:49] Anne
    I put lemon juice on it.
[04:51] Davy
    What'd you want to do that for?
[04:55] Anne
    Because I want to look my best.
[04:57] Davy
    Huh.
[04:59] Anne
    Thank you for all your help today, Davy-boy.
[05:02] Anne
    Will you promise to behave
    yourself again tomorrow?
[05:05] Davy
    If I'm as good as good
    can be all day tomorrow.
[05:07] Davy
    will you let me be just as bad
    as I like all the next day?
[05:10] Anne
    I couldn't do that,
[05:12] Anne
    but I'll take you and Dora
    for a row in the flat.
[05:16] Davy
    Really? It's a bargain!
[05:18] Davy
    I meant to go over to Mr. Harrison's and
    fire peas from my new popgun at Ginger,
[05:23] Davy
    but another day'll do as well.
[05:25] Anne
    You shouldn't do that any day.
[05:27] Davy
    I bet tomorrow'll be no fun,
    since I'll have to be good all the time.
[05:32] Anne
    I won't let that happen.
[05:34] Anne
    We're having my dear Mrs. Morgan to dinner;
[05:37] Anne
    I'll make it a wonderful day!
[05:47] Anne
    It looks like a lovely day.
[05:55] Diana
    Good morning, Anne.
[05:56] Anne
    Good morning, Diana.
[05:58] Anne
    You look simply sweet in that apron.
[06:00] Diana
    This is for the preparations.
[06:02] Diana
    Of course I'll wear my
    white muslin to dinner.
[06:07] Anne
    I know you'll look lovely in it.
[06:08] Diana
    But it's a little tight.
[06:10] Diana
    I weigh four pounds more
    than I did last month.
[06:13] Diana
    Mrs. Morgan's heroines
    are all tall and slender.
[06:18] Anne
    And what if they are?
[06:20] Anne
    You're Diana Barry with the dearest dimples.
[06:22] Anne
    Let's forget our troubles
    and think of our mercies.
[06:25] Anne
    If I have a freckled nose,
    the shape of it is all right.
[06:30] Diana
    Yes, it is.
[06:31] Anne
    Do you think the lemon juice did any good?
[06:34] Diana
    Yes, I really think it did.
[06:36] Anne
    Did it really? Thank goodness!
[06:38] Diana
    I'll help you pick flowers.
[06:40] Anne
    We'll decorate the parlor first,
     then set the table.
[06:46] Anne
    Priscilla said they'd
    be here about twelve.
[06:49] Diana
    Yes!
[06:55] Anne
    Let's put an allusion to
     The Rosebud Garden at Mrs. Morgan's place.
[07:00] Diana
    What a lovely idea!
[07:16] Anne
    I'm pleased to see you being good, Davy.
[07:19] Davy
    I promised, didn't I?
[07:25] Anne
    Now if only my freckles don't
    make themselves too obvious.
[07:29] Diana
    I do hope I'll be able to say
    something once in a while.
[07:31] Anne
    I don't think there is much fear
    that I won't be able to talk.
[07:38] Anne
    It was so good of you all to come.
[07:41] Mr. Allan
    Thank you for inviting us today.
[07:44] Mrs. Allan
    The thought of it has brightened our days.
[07:46] Stacy
    How nice to see you again, Anne, Diana.
[07:49] Stacy
    You both look charming.
[07:52] Anne; Diana
    Thank you very much.
[07:57] Diana
    They're awfully late.
[07:59] Anne
    Suppose they don't come at all?
[08:01] Diana
    Don't suppose it.
[08:03] Diana
    But they really ought to be here by now.
[08:11] Marilla
    Anne, Miss Stacy wants to
    see the willowware platter.
[08:16] Anne
    I thought she would. I'm just wiping it.
[08:27] Anne
    Davy?!
[08:28] Davy
    I finished raveling out my herring net
    and went to put it on the shelf, only...
[08:34] Marilla
    Davy Keith, didn't I forbid you to climb
    up on that table again? Didn't I?
[08:38] Davy
    I forgot.
[08:41] Davy
    You've told me not to do such an awful lot
    of things that I can't remember them all.
[08:45] Marilla
    Well, you march upstairs and
    stay there till after dinner!
[08:48] Davy
    I didn't mean to fall on the pie.
[08:52] Davy
    Since it's spoiled, can't I take
    some of the pieces upstairs with me?
[08:58] Anne
    No, you may not!
[09:00] Diana
    What shall we do for dessert?
[09:03] Anne
    I think we have a crock
    of strawberry preserves.
[09:07] Diana
    There's plenty of whipped cream
     left in the bowl for it.
[09:17] Anne
    Something must have delayed them.
[09:19] Marilla
    We cannot keep the Allans or
    Miss Stacy waiting any longer.
[09:25] Marilla
    Shall we go ahead and have dinner now?
[09:28] Anne
    No, I know that they'll be here.
[09:31] Anne
    Mrs. Morgan's heroines
    always rise to the occasion.
[09:38] Diana
    Anne, did you put sugar in these peas?
[09:42] Anne
    Yes, I put a spoonful of
    sugar in. We always do.
[09:46] Diana
    But I put a spoonful in too,
    when I set them on the stove.
[09:52] Anne
    They're sweet! How awful!
[09:53] Marilla
    It's a case of too many cooks, I guess.
[09:56] Marilla
    I didn't think you'd remember about
    the sugar, Anne, so I put in a spoonful.
[10:07] Anne
    Well, there will be no green peas today.
[10:16] Anne
    No!
[10:19] Marilla
    Davy!
[10:20] Marilla
    Did you throw that conch down on purpose?!
[10:23] Davy
    No, I never did. I got hungry and tried
    to go downstairs and my hand slipped.
[10:29] Marilla
    Well, look what you've done!
[10:31] Anne
    Don't blame Davy.
[10:34] Anne
    It was my fault. I set that platter
    there and forgot all about it.
[10:41] Anne
    Mrs. Morgan?! Now, of all times?!
[10:47] Lynde
    Good afternoon.
[10:49] Marilla
    Rachel?
[10:50] Anne
    O-Oh, it's only you.
[10:52] Lynde
    Only me, is it?
[10:55] Lynde
    I just came from the post office.
    A letter's come for you,
[10:59] Lynde
    and I'm here to deliver it.
[11:01] Anne
    It's from Priscilla.
    She posted it yesterday.
[11:06] Anne
    "Oh, Anne dear, I know this is sudden,
    but Aunty has sprained her ankle."
[11:10] Anne
    "I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid we won't
    get up to Green Gables at all now,"
[11:14] Anne
    "for by the time Aunty's ankle is well,
    she will have to go back to Toronto."
[11:25] Lynde
    I hope I'm not imposing.
[11:29] Anne
    It was too good to be true.
[11:31] Anne
    Perhaps when Diana and I are old and gray,
    we shall be able to laugh over today.
[11:37] Anne
    But not before then, for it has
    truly been a bitter disappointment.
[11:42] Anne
    Have you heard about the hall?
[11:44] Marilla
    Yes, they painted it a brilliant blue.
[11:48] Anne
    They were meant to paint
    it a beautiful green.
[11:51] Anne
    It was to be the symbol of our society.
[11:55] Marilla
    You are never going to outgrow your fashion
    of setting your heart so on things
[11:58] Marilla
    and then crashing down into despair
    because you don't get them.
[12:02] Anne
    I know I'm too much inclined that way.
[12:05] Anne
    When I think something
    nice is going to happen,
[12:09] Anne
    I seem to fly right up on
    the wings of anticipation.
[12:14] Anne
    But the flying part is glorious
    as long as it lasts.
[12:17] Anne
    It's like soaring through a sunset.
[12:21] Anne
    I think it almost pays for the thud.
[12:25] Marilla
    I'd rather walk calmly along and
    do without both flying and thud.
[12:29] Marilla
    Where's Davy?
[12:31] Anne
    In bed. I've promised to take him and
    Dora to the shore for a picnic tomorrow.
[12:36] Anne
    He tried to be good, and I hadn't
    the heart to disappoint him.
[12:40] Marilla
    You'll drown yourself or the twins,
    rowing about the pond in that flat.
[12:45] Anne
    Suppose you come with us tomorrow.
[12:47] Marilla
    No, thank you.
[12:49] Marilla
    There's Gilbert coming up the lane.
[12:54] Marilla
    Why don't you invite him
    for a row on the pond?
[12:57] Anne
    Yes, perhaps I will.
[13:15] Davy
    Nothing beats a boat!
[13:18] Gilbert
    Be careful!
[13:21] Davy
    I wouldn't have minded if I fell in!
[13:23] Gilbert
    I know the feeling, Davy,
    but do you know how to swim?
[13:27] Davy
    Not a bit!
[13:29] Gilbert
    Then don't say you wouldn't mind falling in.
[13:31] Gilbert
    You'll get a great bloated belly
    full of water if you drown.
[13:35] Davy
    Would I?!
[13:37] Davy
    I'd like a big, full belly!
[13:40] Gilbert
    Do you know how to swim, Dora?
[13:42] Dora
    No, I don't.
[13:44] Gilbert
    Then I'll teach you sometime.
[13:46] Dora
    Would you really?!
[13:47] Dora
    I love you, Gilbert!
[13:50] Davy
    But I bet I could swim,
    even if I'd never learned how.
[13:54] Davy
    The boat's so much fun,
     it makes me want to give it a try.
[13:58] Anne
    No. We didn't bring swimming things today.
[14:00] Davy
    Oh, you're no fun.
[14:02] Davy
    I wanted a soak and a splash.
[14:05] Davy
    Say, do you think I could swim to that bank?
[14:26] Paul
    Teacher!
[14:29] Anne
    Paul.
[14:31] Anne
    Are you visiting a grave, too?
[14:33] Paul
    Yes.
[14:34] Paul
    I'm taking this bouquet of geraniums to
    put on Grandpa Irving's grave for Grandma.
[14:39] Paul
    And I'm leaving this bunch of white roses
     in memory of my little mother.
[14:46] Anne
    Your mother passed away in
    the States, didn't she?
[14:50] Paul
    Yes. It's just three years
    today since she died.
[14:56] Paul
    I'm sure Father will be visiting her grave
    in Boston soon, if he hasn't already.
[15:02] Paul
    It's been three whole years.
[15:05] Anne
    Paul...
[15:06] Paul
    Such a long, long time but it
    hurts just as much as ever.
[15:11] Paul
    Sometimes it seems to me that
    I just can't bear it, it hurts so.
[15:15] Anne
    And yet you wouldn't
    want it to stop hurting.
[15:21] Anne
    You wouldn't want to forget your
    little mother even if you could.
[15:30] Paul
    You're so good at understanding, teacher.
[15:33] Paul
    I couldn't talk much to Father about Mother,
     because it made him feel so bad.
[15:39] Paul
    When he put his hand over his face,
    I always knew it was time to stop.
[15:48] Anne
    Paul...
[15:52] Anne
    See here, Paul, you mustn't blame yourself.
    Nor your father, of course.
[15:59] Paul
    Father's splendid when
    you do get to know him.
[16:03] Paul
    I love him the best in all the world,
     and Grandma Irving next,
[16:08] Paul
    and then you, teacher.
[16:10] Anne
    Goodness!
[16:11] Paul
    I'd love you next to father if it wasn't
    my duty to love Grandma Irving best,
[16:16] Paul
    because she's doing so much for me.
[16:18] Anne
    Yes, and I love you, too, Paul.
[16:22] Anne
    If you don't mind, would you
    tell me about your mother?
[16:25] Paul
    Of course.
[16:26] Paul
    Mrs. Lynde came over the other day.
[16:30] Paul
    She looked at a photo of Mother and said,
[16:32] Paul
    "She's a real pretty woman, but I daresay
    your father will find another wife."
[16:39] Paul
    She gave me such a shock, I thought
    I might die then and there.
[16:52] Marilla
    Now, Davy, you try to be a good
    boy and don't bother Anne.
[16:57] Davy
    I won't be bad on purpose,
     but s'posen I'm bad zacksidentally?
[17:03] Marilla
    You'll have to guard against accidents.
[17:06] Marilla
    Anne, if Mr. Shearer comes
    today, get some steak.
[17:12] Anne
    I'll remember.
[17:13] Marilla
    Well then, I'd best be off.
[17:15] Anne; Davy
    Take care.
[17:17] Anne
    Come along, Davy-boy.
    You'll help me clean the house today.
[17:22] Davy
    All right.
[17:24] Davy
    But I want a cookie first.
[17:26] Anne
    Not till we're done!
[17:38] Anne
    More rampant than ever.
[17:43] Davy
    What're you looking for, Anne?
[17:46] Anne
    My freckle lotion. I found the
    recipe for it in a magazine.
[17:50] Anne
    Here it is!
[17:58] Anne
    That must be Mr. Shearer.
[18:01] Anne
    Here I am!
[18:03] Anne
    Mr. Shearer, we'd like some steak and...
[18:06] Priscilla
    It's dreadful to come upon
    you so unexpectedly as this.
[18:08] Priscilla
    This is Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Pendexter.
[18:15] Anne
    M-M-Mrs. Morgan?!
[18:18] Anne
    W-Welcome to Green Gables.
[18:21] Anne
    It's an honor to meet you.
[18:23] Anne
    My name is Anne Shirley.
[18:28] Anne
    I didn't expect Mrs. Morgan to be
    a stout little gray-haired woman.
[18:32] Priscilla
    The tall one is Mrs. Pendexter.
[18:35] Priscilla
    She lives in New York and her
    husband is a millionaire.
[18:37] Anne
    In any event, this is all awfully sudden.
    I can still feel my heart racing.
[18:41] Priscilla
    I'm so sorry. Aunty's ankle felt better
     sooner than we expected,
[18:46] Priscilla
    and she wanted to meet you,
    so I brought her over.
[18:49] Priscilla
    But really, Anne, your nose...
[18:52] Anne
    My freckles, you mean!
[18:54] Anne
    I know, but it's no use fretting.
[18:56] Anne
    I'll run and get things ready for tea.
[19:00] Anne
    Thank goodness Marilla made preserves.
[19:04] Diana
    Do you have company, Anne?
    I saw a strange carriage outside.
[19:09] Anne
    Diana, you couldn't have
    come at a better time.
[19:11] Anne
    Who do you suppose is in that
    parlor at this very moment?
[19:16] Anne
    Oh, Diana, don't look at me so.
    You, at least, must be used to my freckles.
[19:20] Diana
    It isn't your freckles, Anne.
    It's your nose.
[19:24] Anne
    My nose? Surely nothing
    has gone wrong with it!
[19:30] Anne
    What?
[19:31] Anne
    What?!
[19:36] Diana
    What is the matter with it?
[19:38] Anne
    I thought I was rubbing
    my freckle lotion on it,
[19:40] Anne
    but I must have used that red dye Marilla
    has for marking the pattern on her rugs.
[19:44] Anne
    What shall I do?
[19:46] Diana
    It's blazing scarlet,
    although I don't like to say so.
[19:52] Anne
    I don't care how much it hurts!
    Scrub as hard as you can!
[19:57] Diana
    I'm trying to!
[19:58] Anne
    First I dye my hair; then I dye my nose.
[20:04] Anne
    Marilla cut my hair off when I dyed it
[20:07] Anne
    but that remedy would hardly
    be practicable in this case.
[20:09] Diana
    It's awfully stubborn!
[20:11] Anne
    Wait, that hurts! It hurts!
[20:14] Anne
    What good will rubbing it even redder do?!
[20:17] Diana
    You said you didn't mind if it hurt!
[20:22] Morgan
    These preserved plums taste delightful.
[20:26] Anne
    Yes. Marilla made them.
[20:29] Pendexter
    A really refined flavor.
[20:32] Pendexter
    May I ask for another helping?
[20:34] Anne
    Yes, of course.
[20:42] Anne
    And so I brushed on the dye, trying to turn
    my hair black, but it came out green.
[20:47] Anne
    Even red hair was better than that.
[20:52] Anne
    Yet here I am four years later,
[20:54] Anne
    turning my nose red with what
    I thought was freckle cream.
[20:58] Anne
    I certainly am clumsy with dyes!
[21:09] Morgan; Pendexter
    Good day.
[21:11] Anne
    Take care!
[21:12] Davy
    Bye-bye!
[21:21] Anne
    It has indeed been a feast of reason
    and flow of soul, hasn't it?
[21:25] Anne
    I don't know which I enjoyed more,
[21:29] Anne
    listening to Mrs. Morgan or
    gazing at Mrs. Pendexter.
[21:33] Diana
    Mrs. Pendexter is rich, and yet she took
    a second helping of the plum preserves.
[21:39] Anne
    I daresay even an English earl
[21:41] Anne
    wouldn't have turned up his aristocratic
    nose at Marilla's plum preserves.
[21:49] Anne
    I shall never try any
    beautifying messes again.
[21:52] Anne
    A few freckles are preferable to a red nose.
[21:59] Anne
    I'm more like myself with them.
