[00:07] Marilla
    Anne, there's a letter for you.
[00:09] Anne
    Thank you, Marilla.
[00:13] Anne
    It's from Philippa.
[00:15] Anne
    Having spent the summer of my
    twentieth year uneventfully in Avonlea,
[00:19] Anne
    I stood ready to begin my junior year
    at Redmond come fall.
[00:22] Anne
    And then...
[00:25] Anne
    Phil is going...
[00:29] Anne
    to marry a minister?!
SIGN    Chapter 21
SIGN    Has the Real Prince
    Come at Last...?
[02:08] Philippa
    Dear Anne—spelled with an e*,
[02:14] Philippa
    I'm writing to you from Prospect Point.
[02:18] Philippa
    I always like to spend summers at the shore,
[02:21] Philippa
    and this year, I've come to stay*
    with my cousin Emily here.
[02:25] Philippa
    Emily's "select boardinghouse" has
    five boarders besides myself—
[02:30] Philippa
    four old ladies and one young man.
[02:34] Philippa
    The young man's name is Jonas Blake.
[02:38] Philippa
    The day I arrived, I saw him
    sitting opposite to me at the table,
[02:43] Philippa
    smiling at me as if he had
    known me from my cradle.
[02:51] (Flashback) Philippa
    Thank you.
[02:52] (Flashback) Jonas
    You're welcome.
[02:53] Philippa
    He is a theological student
    from St. Columba,
[02:56] Philippa
    and he has taken charge of the Point
    Prospect Mission Church for the summer.
[03:01] Philippa
    He has a big, loose-jointed
    figure with absurdly long legs.
[03:05] Philippa
    And his ears—but I never think
    about his ears if I can help it.
[03:13] Philippa
    But he has a lovely voice.
[03:16] Philippa
    If you shut your eyes and just listen...
[03:16] Jonas
    How pleasantly astringent
    this tea is. Delightful.
[03:19] Old Woman
    Indeed it is.
[03:20] Philippa
    ...he is adorable.
[03:21] Jonas
    It's enough to gladden my heart.
[03:24] Philippa
    We were good chums right away.
[03:27] Philippa
    Of course he is a graduate of Redmond,
    and that is a link between us.
[03:32] Philippa
    We fished and boated together;
[03:36] Philippa
    and we walked on the sands by moonlight.
[03:40] Philippa
    By moonlight...
[03:42] Philippa
    oh, he was nice.
[03:46] Philippa
    Niceness fairly exhaled from him.
[03:53] Philippa
    Somehow, Anne, I don't want
    him to think me frivolous.
[03:59] Philippa
    This is ridiculous.
[04:01] Philippa
    Why should I care what a
    tow-haired person called Jonas,
[04:06] Philippa
    whom I never saw before, thinks of me?
[04:13] Philippa
    Last Sunday, Jonas preached
    in the village church.
[04:18] (Flashback) Jonas
    Today, I'd like to think about
    happiness with you all.
[04:23] (Flashback) Jonas
    To wit, what is happiness?
[04:26] Philippa
    By the time he had preached ten minutes,
[04:26] Jonas
    Some people might answer, "to grow wealthy."
[04:29] Philippa
    I felt so small and insignificant
[04:30] Jonas
    I think that gaining spiritual
    riches is a wonderful thing,
[04:34] Philippa
    that I thought I must be
    invisible to the naked eye.
[04:34] Jonas
    but seeking only wealth
    pushes happiness away.
[04:39] Philippa
    Jonas never looked at me.
[04:43] Philippa
    But I realized how horribly different
    I must be from Jonas's ideal woman.
[04:50] Philippa
    He was so earnest and tender and true.
[04:54] Philippa
    He was everything a minister ought to be.
[04:56] Philippa
    I could have listened forever.
[05:00] Philippa
    He caught up with me on the road home,
    and grinned as cheerfully as usual.
[05:05] Philippa
    I had seen the real Jonas.
[05:10] Philippa
    I wondered if he could 
    ever see the real Phil—
[05:17] Philippa
    whom nobody—not even you,
    Anne—has ever seen yet.
[05:23] (Flashback) Philippa
    Jonas, you were born to be a minister.
[05:27] (Flashback) Jonas
    You're right.
[05:28] (Flashback) Jonas
    I tried to be something
    else for a long time.
[05:34] (Flashback) Jonas
    But I came to see at last that it
    was the work given me to do—
[05:40] (Flashback) Jonas
    and God helping me, I shall try to do it.
[05:45] Philippa
    I thought that he would do his
    work and do it well and nobly;
[05:51] Philippa
    and happy the woman fitted
    to help him do it.
[05:57] Philippa
    She would be no feather, blown about 
    by every fickle wind of fancy.
[06:07] Philippa**
    She would always know what hat to put on.
[06:12] Philippa**
    Probably she would have only one.
[06:15] Philippa
    But she wouldn't mind having
    one hat or none at all,
[06:19] Philippa
    because she would have Jonas.
[06:22] Philippa
    Anne, don't you dare to say or hint
    that I've fallen in love with Jonas.
[06:28] Philippa
    Could I care for a lank,
    poor, ugly theologue?
[06:32] Philippa
    Good night.
[06:35] Philippa
    P.S. It is impossible—
[06:38] Philippa
    but I am horribly afraid it's true.
[06:45] Philippa
    He can never care for me, I know.
[06:51] Philippa**
    Do you think I could ever develop into
    a passable minister's wife, Anne?
[06:58] Philippa
    And would they expect me to lead in prayer?
[07:03] Philippa
    Phil Gordon.
[07:09] Anne
    I've an afternoon to spend
    in sweet doing nothing.
[07:14] Anne
    Shall I spend it here where there is a
    cozy fire, a plateful of delicious russets,
[07:20] Anne
    and three purring and harmonious cats?
[07:26] Anne
    Or shall I go to the park, where
    there is the lure of gray woods
[07:30] Anne
    and of gray water lapping
    on the harbor rocks?
[07:32] Jamesina
    If I was as young as you,
    I'd decide in favor of the park.
[07:36] Anne
    I thought that you claimed to be
    as young as any of us, Auntie.
[07:42] Jamesina
    Yes, in my soul.
[07:45] Jamesina
    But I'll admit my legs
    aren't as young as yours.
[07:49] Jamesina
    You go and get some fresh air, Anne.
[07:52] Jamesina
    You look pale lately.
[07:56] Anne
    I think I will go to the park.
[07:58] Anne
    I want to feel alone and free and wild.
[08:02] Jamesina
    Take your umbrella,
    for I believe it's going to rain.
[08:05] Anne
    Rain? I shouldn't think so.
[08:07] Stella
    You shouldn't flirt so with
    Mr. Blake—you really shouldn't.
[08:10] Philippa
    I'm not flirting with him.
[08:13] Stella
    You don't fool me. You're amusing yourself.
[08:19] Stella
    Mr. Blake isn't of the
    Alec-and-Alonzo type, Phil.
[08:22] Stella
    He takes things seriously.
[08:25] Stella
    You may break his heart.
[08:30] Philippa
    Do you really think I could?!
[08:34] Stella
    Philippa Gordon!
[08:35] Stella
    I never thought you were utterly unfeeling.
[08:39] Stella
    You are leading that man on deliberately—
[08:42] Stella
    and you know you don't mean anything by it.
[08:44] Philippa
    Not so, honey.
[08:46] Philippa
    I mean to make him ask me
    to marry him if I can.
[08:50] Stella
    I give you up!
[08:52] Anne
    Stella!
[08:57] Anne
    Give her a proper explanation later.
[08:59] Philippa
    You know I will.
[09:03] Male Student
    Excuse me!
[09:06] Male Student
    I... I know this is sudden, Anne Shirley.
[09:09] Male Student
    May I have a moment? Just a moment?
[09:11] Male Student
    Would you please hear me out?
[09:14] Anne
    I cannot give you the answer you hope for.
[09:17] Anne
    I'm sorry.
[09:33] (Flashback) Anne
    Oh, Gilbert, you've spoiled everything.
[09:43] Anne
    If the real Prince Charming will never come,
[09:46] Anne
    I need no substitutes.
[10:10] Roy
    Pardon me.
[10:12] Roy
    May I offer you the shelter of my umbrella?
[10:21] Anne
    P-Pri...
[10:23] Anne
    Prince Charming?
[10:35] Roy
    You'll get rained on.
[10:37] Roy
    Come under my umbrella.
[10:44] Anne
    Th-Thank you.
[10:47] Roy
    We can wait there until this shower is over.
[10:56] Anne
    I didn't know what I would do when
    my umbrella turned inside out.
[11:01] Roy
    If you'd like.
[11:02] Anne
    Oh, I have my own! But thank you.
[11:10] Roy
    My name is Royal Gardner.
[11:13] Roy
    And you are the Miss Shirley who wrote
    that Tennyson paper, aren't you?
[11:18] Anne
    Yes, I am.
[11:19] Roy
    I thought so.
[11:21] Roy
    Then we are schoolmates, I see.
[11:24] Anne
    I'm sorry, but I cannot place you at all.
[11:28] Roy
    I'm sure you can't.
[11:29] Roy
    I don't belong to any class yet.
[11:33] Roy
    I put in two years at Redmond,
    then I went to Europe for a spell.
[11:38] Roy
    Now I've come back to finish my arts course.
[11:41] Anne
    This is my junior year, too.
[11:44] Roy
    So we are classmates...
[11:46] Anne
    As well as college-mates!
[11:51] Roy
    I suddenly regret the two years
    I couldn't spend with you.
[12:01] Roy
    It appears even the weather
    has blessed our meeting.
[12:06] Roy
    Come. I'll walk you home.
[12:09] Anne
    Oh, you needn't. It isn't far.
[12:11] Roy
    Come on.
[12:17] Roy
    What shall I call you, Miss Shirley?
[12:21] Anne
    Anne. Spelled with an e, if you don't mind.
[12:25] Roy
    Anne. How was that?
[12:29] Anne
    Perfect.
[12:31] Roy
    May I see you again, Anne?
[12:34] Roy
    I'd like to talk at our leisure.
[12:37] Anne
    Yes. Yes, of course.
[12:48] Philippa
    Royal Gardner!
[12:50] Philippa
    Where did you meet him?! Be honest!
[12:54] Anne
    Today in the park.
[12:55] Anne
    My umbrella turned inside out and
    he came to my rescue with his.
[13:00] Philippa
    Oh! And is that exceedingly commonplace
    incident any reason why he should send us
[13:07] Philippa
    long-stemmed roses by the dozen,
    with a very sentimental rhyme?
[13:12] Philippa
    "Anne, my life till now has been
    but a prologue to meeting you!"
[13:18] Philippa
    You're blushing rosy-red.
[13:19] Anne
    Don't talk nonsense, Phil.
[13:21] Anne
    Do you know Mr. Gardner?
[13:23] Philippa
    Yes. Roy is adorably handsome and clever.
[13:27] Anne
    Is that all?
[13:28] Philippa
    I've met his two sisters.
[13:31] Philippa
    The Gardners are among the
    richest, bluest, of Bluenoses.
[13:37] Philippa
    Two years ago, his mother's health failed
    and he had to go abroad with her.
[13:44] Philippa
    He must have been greatly disappointed
    to have to give up his class,
[13:50] Philippa
    but they say he was
    perfectly sweet about it.
[13:55] Philippa
    Anne.
[13:56] Philippa
    I smell romance.
[13:58] Anne
    You goose.
[14:15] Philippa
    Anne, delivery for you.
[14:19] Philippa
    "Your eyes shine like the morning
    star at dawn. Roy Gardner."
[14:25] Stella; Priscilla
    Wow.
[14:27] Philippa
    "Surely you stole the rosy hue
    of your cheeks from the dawn herself."
[14:33] Philippa
    "Roy Gardner."
[14:35] Stella; Priscilla
    Wow!
[14:36] Philippa
    "Your lips are redder than the
    roses of paradise. Roy Gardner."
[14:57] Philippa
    Your dashing prince has arrived!
[15:02] Philippa
    Why, how handsome you look!
[15:05] Philippa
    Nine nights out of ten,
    I can easily outshine you.
[15:09] Philippa
    The tenth, you blossom out suddenly into
    something that eclipses me altogether.
[15:14] Anne
    It's the dress, dear.
[15:15] Philippa
    'Tisn't.
[15:17] Philippa
    If Roy hadn't already lost head and heart
    about you, he certainly would tonight.
[15:24] Philippa
    But...
[15:25] Philippa
    that orchid in your hair.
[15:28] Philippa
    I'm sure it's a present from Roy,
    but I don't like orchids on you.
[15:33] Philippa
    Don't take offense.
[15:36] Philippa
    Orchids are too affected.
    They don't seem to belong to you.
[15:42] Anne
    You think so, too?
[15:44] Anne
    I admit I'm not fond of orchids myself.
    I don't think they're related to me.
[15:51] Anne
    But today is a special day.
[15:53] Philippa
    The reception for the seniors. I know.
[15:57] Philippa
    Look.
[15:59] Philippa
    Jonas sent me some dear pink
    rosebuds for the evening.
[16:04] Philippa
    But he isn't coming himself.
[16:06] Philippa
    He said he had to lead a
    prayer meeting in the slums.
[16:12] Anne
    That's a shame.
[16:13] Philippa
    I don't believe he wanted to come.
[16:16] Philippa
    Perhaps Jonas doesn't really
    care anything about me.
[16:22] Anne
    Even though he sent you roses?
[16:24] Philippa
    I know, but I'm horribly afraid.
[16:27] Philippa
    And I'm trying to decide whether
    I'll pine away and die,
[16:31] Philippa
    or go on and get my B.A. and
    be sensible and useful.
[16:35] Anne
    You couldn't possibly
    be sensible and useful,
[16:39] Anne
    so you'd better pine away and die.
[16:41] Philippa
    Heartless Anne!
[16:42] Anne
    Silly Phil!
[16:44] Anne
    You know quite well that Jonas loves you.
[16:49] Philippa
    Yes, but he won't tell me so.
[16:52] Philippa
    Not that I expect sentimental rhymes.
[16:55] Anne
    Mr. Blake is afraid to ask you to marry him.
[16:58] Anne
    He is poor and can't offer you a
    home such as you've always had.
[17:06] Philippa
    Very well.
[17:07] Philippa
    If he won't ask me to 
    marry him, I'll ask him.
[17:11] Philippa
    That's all.
[17:12] Philippa
    So it's bound to come right.
[17:14] Anne
    Think hard,
[17:15] Anne
    and be mindful of Mr. Blake's feelings.
[17:19] Philippa
    How angry I was when you
    refused Gilbert, Anne.
[17:25] Philippa
    But I was wrong.
[17:27] Philippa
    Roy Gardner was foreordained for you.
[17:31] Philippa
    I can see that now.
[17:33] Philippa
    You were right, after all.
[17:36] Philippa
    By the way, Gilbert Blythe is going
    about constantly with Christine Stuart.
[17:41] Philippa
    Did you know?
[17:42] Anne
    No. Who is Christine Stuart?
[17:44] Philippa
    She's in Kingsport this
    winter studying music.
[17:47] Philippa
    They say she's very pretty and that
    Gilbert is quite crazy over her.
[17:56] Jamesina
    Mr. Gardner, you're the nicest
    young man I ever did see.
[18:00] Roy
    Oh, I'm sure I'm not.
[18:02] Jamesina
    Anne is a very fortunate girl
    to have met you.
[18:08] Roy
    Anne.
[18:09] Roy
    You look radiant this evening.
[18:12] Anne
    Thank you.
[18:13] Roy
    That orchid looks lovely on you.
[18:25] Roy
    Anne.
[18:27] Roy
    We still have time.
[18:28] Roy
    Would you mind a slight detour?
[18:34] Roy
    We met here, at this very spot.
[18:37] Anne
    Yes. It was an awful squall.
[18:41] Anne
    But we've fine weather today.
[18:44] Roy
    Meeting you that day was the
    greatest event of my life.
[18:51] Anne
    And mine, Roy.
[18:53] Roy
    Anne, I want to tell you plainly.
[18:57] Roy
    I love you.
[19:00] Roy
    I'm infatuated with you.
[19:03] Roy
    I can't imagine life without you.
[19:07] Roy
    Would you...
[19:09] Roy
    be mine?
[19:23] Roy
    Anne...
[19:25] Roy
    Anne.
[19:28] Roy
    Forgive me. Did I startle you?
[19:31] Anne
    A little.
[19:32] Roy
    Then...
[19:34] Anne
    Yes.
[19:35] Anne
    Me, too.
[19:40] Anne
    The prince of my dreams just
    professed his love for me.
[19:44] Anne
    A touch forcefully, I admit.
[19:48] Anne
    I've paid a high price for this day,
[19:51] Anne
    waited so long to hear
    my prince say that he loves me.
[19:56] Anne
    But...
[19:57] Anne
    I didn't blush.
[20:00] Anne
    I didn't burst into tears.
[20:09] Roy
    They seem to be enjoying themselves.
[20:11] Anne
    Yes, they do.
[20:13] Gilbert
    You went to the concert the
    other day, didn't you?
[20:16] Christine
    Yes.
[20:17] Gilbert
    So, what did you think?
[20:19] Christine
    Oh, it was marvelous.
[20:26] Anne
    I'll just run to the dressing room.
[20:32] Anne
    What is the matter with me?
[20:34] Anne
    Something doesn't sit right.
[20:45] Roy
    Anne! Here I am.
[20:46] Anne
    Oh. Thank you for waiting.
[20:59] Gilbert
    Hello, Anne. How have you been?
[21:02] Anne
    W-Well.
[21:04] Anne
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
[21:06] Gilbert
    Roy sought us out and made a
    point to introduce himself.
[21:11] Roy
    I'd heard you were childhood friends.
[21:14] Gilbert
    Oh, I'll introduce you.
[21:16] Gilbert
    Meet Miss Christine Stuart, future musician.
[21:20] Christine
    It's so nice to meet you.
[21:22] Anne
    I'm Anne Shirley.
[21:23] Christine
    You're childhood friends?
[21:25] Gilbert
    We grew up on Prince Edward Island,
    in a village called Avonlea.
[21:25] Anne
    She looks just as I've
    always wanted to look.
[21:30] Anne
    Rose-leaf complexion—
    starry violet eyes—raven hair...
[21:36] Roy
    I know, Anne.
[21:39] Roy
    Why don't you show me around
    Avonlea one of these days?
[21:42] Roy
    And Gilbert, too, if he's willing.
[21:46] Gilbert
    Yes, of course, Roy.
[21:49] Christine
    Then I'll join you!
[21:51] Christine
    I'd like to see it, too, Gil.
[21:53] Christine
    Do you mind, Anne?
[21:55] Anne
    No, of course not, Christine.
[21:59] Anne
    But...
[22:00] Anne
    I don't believe her
    nose is as good as mine.
