[00:01] Anne
    To borrow Philippa's phrase,
    the second term at Redmond...
[00:04] Philippa
    actually whizzed away
[00:05] Anne
    ...in no time at all.
[00:09] Anne
    I have turned nineteen,
[00:11] Anne
    and I am studying furiously
    for a tricky exam.
[00:15] Anne
    My boardinghouse is generally pleasant,
[00:18] Anne
    but on days when I come home late...
[00:25] Anne
    I sometimes fear that the many cushions
[00:27] Anne
    the landladies make will
    be the death of me.
[00:30] Anne
    I've been getting on fine
    with Gilbert as well.
[00:33] Gilbert
    What do you think of your chances?
[00:34] Anne
    I'm determined to win it come what may.
[00:37] Anne
    With the Thornburn Scholarship,
[00:40] Anne
    I could come back to Redmond next year
    without trenching on Marilla's savings.
[00:45] Gilbert
    Then I had better get to work myself.
[00:48] Anne
    Yes, you should!
[00:49] Male Student A
    That Gilbert never leaves Anne alone.
[00:52] Male Student B
    I'm green with envy.
[00:54] Male Student C
    It does make it hard to
    talk to her at school.
[00:57] Male Student B
    I hear that Anne lives in a
    boardinghouse on Old St. John's.
[01:02] Gilbert
    Well, I have a Lambs get-together to go to.
[01:05] Anne
    Of course. Enjoy your women's clothing.
[01:07] Gilbert
    Not that kind of get-together.
[01:10] Anne
    Nobody could be so satisfactory
    a friend as Gilbert.
[01:14] Anne
    He has evidently dropped all his
    nonsensical ideas about me.
[01:21] Male Student
    Gilbert!
[01:23] Gilbert
    Coming!
[01:27] Anne
    After all, I have...
[01:39] Anne
    In truth, I am but a humble student.
[01:42] Anne
    But I'll keep striving, dreaming
    of what may be someday.
SIGN    Chapter 18
SIGN    I Feel as if I Had Opened a Book
    and Found Roses of Yesterday,
    Sweet and Beloved, Between Its Leaves
[03:30] Upperclassman A
    I staunchly oppose the tuition increase!
[03:32] Underclassman A
    So do I! It's unconscionable!
[03:34] Underclassman B
    We should call an emergency meeting.
[03:35] Underclassman B
    We'll show them that the whole
    student body stands against it.
[03:38] Upperclassman A
    Let's start planning now.
[03:46] Anne
    I have other plans today.
[03:47] Male Student A
    Don't be like that.
[03:49] Male Student A
    Surely you can spare a few moments?
[03:51] Male Student C
    Look. The weather is fine.
[03:53] Charlie
    Hello!
[03:55] Charlie
    Thank you for waiting.
[03:57] Anne
    Huh?
[03:59] Anne
    Charlie?
[04:08] Anne
    Thank you, Charlie.
[04:10] Charlie
    Don't mention it.
[04:11] Charlie
    It must be awful to be
    pestered so incessantly.
[04:14] Anne
    Well, it isn't pleasant.
[04:16] Charlie
    I should thank you for joining me on
    a walk when you have so much to do.
[04:21] Anne
    I was just longing for a break.
[04:23] Charlie
    Isn't this a lovely view?
[04:26] Anne
    Yes.
[04:27] Charlie
    And you're lovely, too, Anne.
[04:31] Charlie
    Anne...
[04:33] Charlie
    Would you promise to become
    Mrs. Charlie Sloane some day?
[04:37] Anne
    Huh?
[04:38] Charlie
    In other words, I'd like you to marry me.
[04:41] Anne
    Excuse me?!
[04:41] Charlie
    I suppose that was awfully affected
    for a proposal, wasn't it?
[04:45] Anne
    But, Charlie, haven't we been
    friends since we were children?
[04:50] Charlie
    I cannot falsify my feelings any longer!
[04:53] Charlie
    Anne, marry me!
[04:55] Anne
    No, thank you.
[04:56] Charlie
    What? Why not?!
[04:58] Anne
    For any number of reasons.
[05:00] Charlie
    What about me displeases you?!
[05:02] Charlie
    Name it, and I'll mend my ways!
[05:04] Anne
    It isn't that sort of problem.
[05:06] Anne
    I've never thought of marrying you,
    and I don't believe I ever could.
[05:12] Charlie
    You would be a Sloane!
[05:14] Charlie
    That's a great honor!
[05:16] Anne
    One I simply cannot accept!
[05:18] Charlie
    Are you rejecting my proposal?
[05:22] Charlie
    You, an orphan?!
[05:35] Anne
    Why do these things keep happening to me?
[05:39] (Flashback) Anne
    I'm leaving!
[05:42] (Flashback) Charlie
    I'll tell my mama!
[05:46] (Flashback) Charlie
    And my papa, too!
[05:47] (Flashback) Anne
    What on earth for?!
[05:49] (Flashback) Anne
    You're stubborn as a mule!
[06:03] Priscilla
    Anne, a letter!
[06:05] Priscilla
    Are you well?
[06:07] Anne
    I wonder that myself.
[06:09] Priscilla
    It's from Stella.
[06:10] Anne
    Stella? I haven't seen her since
    our graduation from Queen's.
[06:14] Priscilla
    Neither have I, although we've been
    keeping each other up to date.
[06:19] Priscilla
    I believe she's been teaching
    at a backcountry school.
[06:22] Priscilla
    She said that the parents gave her
    more trouble than the pupils.
[06:26] Anne
    Now she says that she's quit that school
    and she's coming to Redmond next year!
[06:31] Anne
    What do you think of her idea?
[06:33] Anne
    I think it's a perfectly splendid one,
    if we can only carry it out.
[06:36] Anne
    Do you suppose we can, Pris?!
[06:39] Priscilla
    I'll be better able to tell you
    when I find out what it is.
[06:43] Stella
    Now, why can't you and Priscilla
    and I club together,
[06:47] Stella
    rent a little house somewhere in
    Kingsport, and board ourselves?
[06:50] Stella
    It would be cheaper than any other way.
[06:53] Stella
    Of course, we would have
    to have a housekeeper,
[06:58] Stella
    but my grandmother is left alone in a great
    big house, and she is horribly lonesome.
[07:03] Stella
    She will come to Kingsport and
    keep house for us if we want her.
[07:06] Priscilla
    "Now, if you agree to it, would you see
    if you can find a suitable house?!"
[07:11] Anne
    Yes!
[07:14] Anne
    The question is whether we can
    find a really suitable place.
[07:19] Anne
    This one is too big, and the rent is high.
[07:22] Priscilla
    It's too small, although
    the rent isn't much.
[07:25] Anne
    It would be hard to get
    to Redmond from here.
[07:28] Priscilla
    Indeed it would.
[07:30] Anne
    This one looks haunted.
[07:33] Anne; Priscilla
    This one is just out of the question!
[07:37] Priscilla
    We shall have to give up and
    wait till the fall, I suppose.
[07:40] Priscilla
    If we still find nothing then,
    boardinghouses we shall have always with us.
[07:45] Anne
    I'm not going to worry about it just now,
    anyway, and spoil this lovely afternoon.
[07:50] Priscilla
    But look over there at Kingsport.
[07:54] Priscilla
    Houses, houses everywhere,
    and not one for us.
[08:03] Anne
    I feel as if something mysterious
    were going to happen right away.
[08:07] Priscilla
    Oh! Wait for me!
[08:16] Priscilla
    This is Spofford Avenue.
[08:18] Priscilla
    We'll never find a house we can
    afford in such a wealthy—
[08:26] Anne
    Prissy,
[08:30] Anne
    do you suppose it's possible that
    we could rent Patty's Place?
[08:34] Priscilla
    No. Face reality, Anne.
[08:37] Priscilla
    They're sure to want more
    for it than you imagine.
[08:39] Priscilla
    I won't hope. The disappointment
    would be too awful to bear.
[08:44] Priscilla
    Remember, it's on Spofford Avenue!
[08:49] Handmaiden
    Visitors, ma'am.
[09:03] Priscilla
    They look so alike.
[09:05] Anne
    Yes. It's a good omen.
[09:07] Anne
    We—We—saw by your sign
    that this house is to let.
[09:15] Patty
    Oh, yes. I intended to take
    that sign down today.
[09:22] Anne
    Then—Then we are too late.
[09:25] Patty
    No, but we have decided
    not to let the house.
[09:28] Anne
    Oh, I'm so sorry!
[09:31] Anne
    We love this place so!
[09:35] Patty
    You love it?
[09:37] Patty
    We didn't treat the word love
    so carelessly in my young day.
[09:43] Patty
    The girls nowadays indulge in
    such exaggerated statements
[09:48] Patty
    that one never can tell what they do mean.
[09:51] Patty
    Does that mean that you really love it?
    Or that you merely like the looks of it?
[09:57] Anne
    No,
[09:59] Anne
    I really do love it.
[10:01] Anne
    I've loved it ever since
    I saw it last fall.
[10:04] Anne
    My college chums and I are looking for a
    little place to rent instead of boarding;
[10:09] Anne
    and when I saw that this house
    was to let I was so happy.
[10:14] Anne
    I love the name, too. "Patty's Place."
[10:18] Anne
    The name on the gate,
    the way it's hung, everything.
[10:22] Patty
    We decided that we would
    not let it after all,
[10:25] Patty
    because all the people who came to rent
    it asked to take the name off the gate.
[10:32] Patty
    If you love this house, you can have it.
[10:36] Patty
    I believe you do love it
    and will be good to it.
[10:41] Anne
    Oh, but there is one problem.
[10:44] Anne
    Can we even afford what you ask for it?
[10:48] Patty
    How does this sound to you?
[10:53] Anne
    I'm afraid we can't afford quite so much.
[10:55] Anne
    You see, we are only
    college girls and we are poor.
[10:58] Patty
    What were you thinking you could afford?
[11:01] Anne
    About... half this amount.
[11:05] Patty
    That will do.
[11:08] Anne
    Do you mean it?
[11:09] Patty
    Yes. It is not strictly necessary
    that we should let it at all.
[11:13] Anne
    Thank you very much.
[11:15] Anne
    By the way, will you leave the china dogs?
[11:19] Patty
    Would you like me to?
[11:21] Anne
    Oh, indeed, yes. They are delightful.
[11:26] Patty
    Their names are Gog and Magog.
[11:29] Patty
    My brother Aaron brought them from London.
[11:33] Anne
    Your brother did?
[11:34] Patty
    He thought a great deal of those dogs.
[11:37] Patty
    It was Aaron who named this
    house Patty's Place,
[11:40] Patty
    and Spofford Avenue was called after him.
[11:46] Anne
    Oh, is that how it happened?
[11:48] Patty
    You know a good thing when you see it.
[11:54] Priscilla
    It's all so delicious
[11:57] Priscilla
    that I know we are going to wake up
    and find it a fleeting vision of the night.
[12:02] Anne
    Patty's Place is quite real,
    and we are going to live there.
[12:08] Anne
    I feel like one of the morning
    stars that sang for joy.
[12:15] Philippa
    Girls—Girls—let me come, too.
     Oh, I'll be so good.
[12:19] Philippa
    I won't stir off my marrow bones till you
    tell me I can live with you next winter.
[12:24] Anne
    Phil, we're poor.
    Our housekeeping will be simple.
[12:27] Priscilla
    And our table plain.
[12:29] Philippa
    Oh, what do I care for that?
[12:31] Anne
    And then there will be a good
    deal of work to be done.
[12:34] Anne
    And you...
[12:36] Philippa
    Toil not, neither do I spin.
[12:39] Philippa
    But I'll learn to do things.
[12:42] Philippa
    You'll only have to show me once.
[12:45] Philippa
    If you won't let me cast in my lot with you,
     I'll die of the disappointment,
[12:50] Philippa
    and then I'll come back and haunt you!
[12:51] Philippa
    I'll camp on the very
    doorstep of Patty's Place
[12:54] Philippa
    and you won't be able to go out or come
    in without falling over my spook!
[13:05] Priscilla
    We can't promise until
    we've consulted Stella.
[13:08] Anne
    I don't think she'll object.
[13:10] Anne
    Phil is a dear...
[13:12] Anne
    even if she is a little thoughtless.
[13:15] Priscilla
    She is that.
[13:16] Anne
    I believe we will all get on
    beautifully in Patty's Place.
[13:30] Anne
    Over the summer holidays after
    my first year at Redmond,
[13:33] Anne
    I decided to visit Bolingbroke
    before going on to Avonlea.
[13:37] Anne
    Philippa's family and the house
    where I was born are both here.
[13:42] Philippa
    There's my old home.
    Mount Holly, it's called.
[13:47] Anne
    It's wonderful.
[13:48] Philippa
    I've asked my family to
    find out about yours.
[13:51] Anne
    Thank you.
[13:53] Philippa
    Is something the matter?
[13:55] Anne
    My ideals have been in perilous condition
    lately. On the verge of collapse.
[14:01] Anne
    What if the house we're about to
    visit isn't the house I know?
[14:05] Philippa
    You remember it?
    I thought you were a wee little baby.
[14:10] Anne
    I imagined it. All of it.
[14:12] Anne
    It must be a little yellow house
    with honeysuckle over the windows
[14:17] Anne
    and lilac and lily-of-the-valley
    in the garden
[14:21] Anne
    and muslin curtains on all the windows.
[14:25] Philippa
    You have a genius for making
    life more difficult.
[14:34] Alec
    Anne Shirley?
[14:36] Anne
    Yes.
[14:37] Alec
    I thought so. You're as lovely
    as Phil said in her letters.
[14:41] Alonzo
    Or even lovelier.
[14:43] Anne
    Thank you.
[14:44] Anne
    Shall I guess your names, too?
[14:46] Anne
    You're Alec with the beautiful hair.
[14:49] Anne
    And you must be Alonzo,
    possessor of a handsome nose.
[14:53] Alonzo
    Welcome to Bolingbroke.
[14:55] Alonzo
    We're happy to have you, Anne.
[14:57] Alec
    Now, where is our fair lady?
[15:00] Anne
    With her parents.
[15:01] Philippa
    My!
[15:03] Philippa
    I see you've already made friends.
[15:05] Alec
    Welcome home, Phil.
[15:07] Alonzo
    Welcome... home.
[15:08] Philippa
    Tell me, Anne, which of them
    do you think I should marry?
[15:14] Philippa
    Well?!
[15:15] Anne
    I think they are both fine fellows,
[15:18] Anne
    but you must decide that
    for yourself, Phil.
[15:21] Philippa
    I guess I should.
[15:23] Philippa
    Oh, and the house is here.
[15:26] Anne
    Thank you. Oh, it won't be long now.
[15:30] Anne
    I'm glad, of course.
[15:32] Anne
    It will be a pleasure.
[15:34] Philippa
    I could go with you, if you like.
[15:37] Anne
    Would you?
[15:38] Philippa
    I want to see if your
    ideal survives intact.
[15:42] Anne
    Please do come!
[15:44] Anne
    Even my wildest flights of fancy
    seem possible when you're with me.
[15:51] Philippa
    Then we'll have a real jamboree
    tonight to set the tone!
[15:58] Alonzo
    You're gorgeous, Phil!
[16:03] Philippa
    Oh, this is so much fun!
[16:05] Philippa
    See?!
[16:06] Philippa
    Anne,
[16:07] Philippa
    may you discover beautiful
    memories tomorrow,
[16:16] Philippa
    even if
[16:18] Philippa
    they aren't exactly
[16:23] Philippa
    what you anticipated.
[16:30] Philippa
    It's just around this next bend.
[16:36] Philippa
    I don't see why you should rush yourself.
[16:38] Philippa
    We have plenty more time.
    You don't have to go today.
[16:45] Philippa
    It's my fault.
[16:47] Philippa
    Because I invited her to Bolingbroke,
[16:51] Philippa
    invited her knowing she'd be disappointed.
[17:05] Philippa
    Would you look at that!
[17:08] Philippa
    Your ideal is alive and well.
[17:17] Philippa
    A lilac tree by the gate.
[17:20] Philippa
    Lily-of-the-valley in the garden.
[17:23] Philippa
    There is no honeysuckle over the windows,
    but there are muslin curtains in them.
[17:28] Philippa
    It's all just as you imagined it!
[17:31] Philippa
    Are you a prophetess, by any chance?
[17:35] Anne
    I'm sorry. I know this is sudden,
[17:37] Anne
    but did a family called Shirley ever live here?
     It would have been a long time ago.
[17:43] Woman
    Yes, the Shirleys lived
    here twenty years ago.
[17:50] Woman
    They had it rented. I remember 'em.
[17:54] Woman
    They both died of fever at once.
[17:57] Woman
    It was turrible sad. They left a baby.
[18:02] Woman
    Distant relatives took it,
    but I guess it's dead long ago.
[18:07] Woman
    It was a sickly thing.
[18:11] Anne
    It didn't die.
[18:14] Anne
    I was that baby.
[18:17] Woman
    You don't say so!
[18:18] Anne
    My name is Anne Shirley.
[18:20] Woman
    Why, you have grown!
[18:24] Woman
    Will you come in? That's what
    you came for, I expect.
[18:28] Woman
    Look all over the house, if you like.
[18:33] Anne
    Thank you very much.
[18:36] Woman
    The east room upstairs was
    the one you were born in.
[18:41] Woman
    The furniture was all sold before we came.
[18:47] Woman
    All that's here now, we brought in later.
[18:53] Anne
    What a small room,
[18:56] Anne
    smaller than my room at Green Gables.
[19:01] Anne
    My mother took in this view.
[19:07] Anne
    The sunlight from this window
[19:10] Anne
    might have shone on her
    and me when I was born.
[19:17] Anne
    My mother gave birth to me in this room
[19:21] Anne
    and died soon after.
[19:24] Anne
    Just to think of it—she
    was younger than I am now.
[19:30] Woman
    Here's a bundle of old letters
    I found in that closet upstairs.
[19:35] Woman
    See, this one's addressed
    to "Miss Bertha Willis."
[19:40] Anne
    Willis was my mother's maiden name!
[19:43] Anne
    Oh, thank you!
[19:45] Anne
    I haven't one thing that
    belonged to my mother.
[19:49] Anne
    I can never thank you enough.
[19:51] Woman
    You're quite welcome.
[19:53] Woman
    Laws, but your eyes is like your ma's.
[19:57] Woman
    And you're complected like your pa.
[19:59] Woman
    There never was two people more in love.
[20:02] Woman
    Pore creetures, they didn't live long.
[20:06] Woman
    But they was awful happy
    while they was alive,
[20:09] Woman
    and I s'pose that counts for a good deal.
[20:16] Philippa
    Maybe I should take up looking in closets.
[20:21] Anne
    There are a dozen letters in all.
[20:25] Anne
    From during their engagement.
[20:28] Anne
    Some are written by my father,
    some by my mother.
[20:35] Anne
    "Bertha Shirley."
[20:38] Anne
    Mother sent this one after she married.
[20:54] Bertha
    Anne is a bright baby.
[20:57] Bertha
    She's lively, kind, and warm,
    and has a thousand sweetnesses.
[21:02] Bertha
    I love her best when she is asleep
[21:09] Bertha
    and better still when she is awake.
[21:21] Anne
    Thank you, Phil.
[21:23] Anne
    This has been the most
    beautiful day of my life.
[21:28] Anne
    I've found my father and mother.
[21:31] Philippa
    And you pictured their house perfectly.
[21:34] Anne
    I'm sure Mrs. Thomas must have told me,
    and I only thought I'd imagined it.
[21:41] Anne
    But I'm not an orphan any longer.
[21:45] Philippa
    No, you're not.
[21:48] Anne
    I feel as if I had opened a book
[21:52] Anne
    and found roses of yesterday,
    sweet and beloved, between its leaves.
