00:00:03BIRDS CHIRP
00:01:24Yes, Mother. Why are you so surprised?
00:01:29Where can he be going? He never goes to town this time of year. He never visits.
00:01:34Maybe he's just taking a drive.
00:01:35Matthew Cuthbert wouldn't dress up for that.
00:01:43He isn't driving fast enough to be going for a doctor.
00:01:46I'm clean puzzled.
00:01:48I won't have a moment's peace of mind until I find out from his sister, Marilla.
00:01:51Can I go with you, Mother?
00:01:53No, when you're through with the flowers, you can get to your churning.
00:02:00Come in.
00:02:03Good morning, Marilla.
00:02:04Good morning, Rachel.
00:02:05And how is everyone at Barry's Hollow?
00:02:08Oh, we're all pretty well.
00:02:10I was kind of afraid you weren't, though.
00:02:11Especially when I saw your brother riding by today.
00:02:14Thought maybe he was going to the doctor's.
00:02:17Matthew's gone to Bright River.
00:02:19We're getting a little boy from an orphanage in Nova Scotia, and he's coming on the train this afternoon.
00:02:23A boy? Marilla?
00:02:25You and Matthew Cuthbert are adopting a boy from an orphan asylum?
00:02:30Well, the world is certainly turning upside down.
00:02:32I'll be surprised at nothing after this.
00:02:34Nothing.
00:02:35What on earth put such a notion into your head?
00:02:38Well, Matthew's getting on in years.
00:02:40You know he's 60, and he isn't so surprised he once was.
00:02:44His heart troubles him with you.
00:02:46And you know how desperate hard it is to get hired help.
00:02:50Can I get you a cup of tea?
00:02:51Now, how can a body drink tea when they're so excited they're about ready to burst?
00:02:56How'd you know the boy was coming?
00:02:59Well, we had a telegram from Mrs. Spencer saying she'd dropped the boy off at Bright River Station on her
00:03:05way to White Sands.
00:03:06Matthew's gone to meet him.
00:03:08Well, Marilla, you know I pride myself on speaking my mind.
00:03:12Now that it's all clear to me, I'll just tell you plain I think you're doing a mighty risky thing.
00:03:17I only last week I read in the paper where a man and his wife took a boy out of
00:03:19an orphanage,
00:03:20and he set fire to the house.
00:03:21Set it on purpose.
00:03:22There was a case over in New Brunswick where an orphan asylum child put strickening in the well.
00:03:27And the whole family died in fearful agony.
00:03:30Only it was a girl in that instance.
00:03:31No, we're not getting a girl.
00:03:50How are you, Angus?
00:03:51Was that the 135 just left?
00:03:53Yep.
00:03:54You're a bit late.
00:03:55Passionate dropped off for you, Matthew.
00:03:56That's what I've come for.
00:03:57I asked her to go into the depot, and she told me she preferred to stay outside.
00:04:02Her?
00:04:03She?
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:05Said she wouldn't go inside because there's no scope for the imagination.
00:04:08Well, you're not expecting a girl.
00:04:10It's a boy I've come for.
00:04:13She won't have any trouble explaining.
00:04:15She's got a tongue of her own.
00:04:32I suppose you're Mr. Matthew Cuthbert.
00:04:34My name is Ann Shirley.
00:04:35Ann spelled with a need.
00:04:36I was so afraid you weren't coming for me,
00:04:38and I was imagining all the things you could have happened to prevent you.
00:04:41You're sure there isn't some mistake?
00:04:43Well, you're Mr. Matthew Cuthbert, aren't you?
00:04:47Yes.
00:04:48Well, if you're Mr. Matthew Cuthbert, there can be no mistake.
00:04:51Mrs. Spencer told me to wait right here for you.
00:05:01Oh, I can carry it.
00:05:02It isn't heavy.
00:05:03And if it isn't carried a certain way, the handle falls off.
00:05:05So you better let me do it, because I know the exact knack of it.
00:05:09Oh, I must have lost the knack.
00:05:14Well, don't you think we'd better be going?
00:05:18I guess it'll be all right.
00:05:34We've got to drive along Peashead, haven't we?
00:05:38Oh, I'm glad, because I love driving.
00:05:43Oh, it seems so wonderful that I'm going to live with you and belong to you.
00:05:49Well, as I was saying, I never really belonged to anyone before, just to the asylum.
00:05:54And that was worse than anything you can imagine.
00:05:57Mrs. Spencer said it was wicked of me to talk like that, but I don't mean to be wicked.
00:06:03Am I talking too much?
00:06:05Oh, you can talk as much as you like.
00:06:07I don't mind.
00:06:08Oh, I know you and I are going to get along just wonderfully.
00:06:14Oh, I just love this place already.
00:06:17I've always heard that Prince Edward Island was the most beautiful place in the world.
00:06:21I used to imagine that I was living here, but I never really expected that I would.
00:06:27Do you imagine much?
00:06:30Well, no.
00:06:32At the asylum, I used to imagine all kinds of things.
00:06:35Why, sometimes I'd imagine that perhaps the girl who sat next to me was really the daughter of a belted
00:06:39earl
00:06:39who had been stolen away from her parents in infancy by a cruel nurse
00:06:43who had died before she could confess.
00:06:54Isn't this beautiful?
00:06:57What did that tree all white and lacy make you think of?
00:07:00Well, now, I don't know.
00:07:02Why, a bride, of course.
00:07:04A bride in white with a lovely misty veil.
00:07:12Just now, I feel pretty nearly perfectly happy.
00:07:15I can't feel exactly perfectly happy because, well, what color would you call this?
00:07:21It's red, isn't it?
00:07:22Yes, it's red.
00:07:24And that's why I can't feel perfectly happy.
00:07:27I know I'm skinny and a wee bit freckled and my eyes are green,
00:07:30but I can imagine I have a beautiful rose-leaf complexion and lovely starry violet eyes,
00:07:36but I cannot imagine my red hair away.
00:07:39I do my best, but it's no use.
00:07:42It will be my lifelong sorrow.
00:07:47I read of a girl once in a novel who was divinely beautiful.
00:07:51Have you ever imagined what it must be like to be divinely beautiful?
00:07:55Well, now, no, I haven't.
00:07:58Oh, I have often.
00:07:59Which would you rather be, angelically good or dazzlingly clever,
00:08:02or just divinely beautiful?
00:08:05Well, now, I don't exactly know.
00:08:12Anyhow, we're getting nigh home.
00:08:28That's the house.
00:08:30Why, it has gables.
00:08:31What do you call it?
00:08:33Oh, just the house.
00:08:34What would you think if I gave it a new name?
00:08:37Something that would sound more euphonious.
00:08:38Now, let me see gables, and they're green.
00:08:43Green gables.
00:08:47I think that's nice.
00:08:49From now on, that's what we'll call it, green gables.
00:08:53Oh, it's too beautiful to be true.
00:08:56I know I shall live here until I grow to be a real old lady with gray hair.
00:09:10I'm overwhelmed.
00:09:16Marilla.
00:09:23Marilla, this is...
00:09:25How do you do?
00:09:29Matthew Cuthbert, who's that?
00:09:32I wanted to tell you.
00:09:33Where's the boy?
00:09:34That's what I wanted to tell you.
00:09:36The station master at Bright River.
00:09:38Never mind him.
00:09:38Where's the boy?
00:09:39There wasn't any boy.
00:09:41It was only her.
00:09:42We sent word to Mrs. Spencer to bring a boy.
00:09:45Well, she didn't.
00:09:46She only brought her.
00:09:48So I figured she couldn't be left there no matter what the mistake was.
00:09:52You figured.
00:09:53A pretty kettle of fish.
00:09:54This is what comes of sending word instead of going ourselves.
00:09:57You don't want me?
00:09:58You don't want me because I'm not a boy.
00:10:01Well, nobody ever did want me.
00:10:02I might have known it was all too beautiful to last.
00:10:08Well, don't cry about it.
00:10:10I'm not crying only.
00:10:12This is the most tragical thing that's ever happened to me.
00:10:18What's your name?
00:10:19Will you please call me Cordelia?
00:10:21Call you Cordelia?
00:10:22Don't you think it's a pretty name?
00:10:23Is that your name?
00:10:24Well, no, it isn't exactly my name, but...
00:10:26Oh, I would love to be called Cordelia.
00:10:28I don't know what on earth you mean.
00:10:30It's such a perfectly elegant name.
00:10:33Don't you think?
00:10:34If Cordelia isn't your name, what is it?
00:10:36Anne Shirley.
00:10:37Isn't Anne an unromantic name?
00:10:39No.
00:10:39Anne is a good, plain, sensible name.
00:10:41You've no need to be ashamed of it.
00:10:42Oh, I'm not ashamed of it.
00:10:43Only I like Cordelia better.
00:10:45You know, I've always imagined I should have been named Cordelia.
00:10:48Well, if you're going to call me Anne, please spell it with an E.
00:10:51What difference does it make how it's spelled?
00:10:53Oh, it makes a lot of difference.
00:10:55When you print out Anne, it looks dreadful, but Anne with an E looks distinguished.
00:10:58So if you'll only call me Anne with an E, I'll try and reconcile myself to it.
00:11:02Very well.
00:11:02Anne with an E.
00:11:03How did you happen to be brought instead of a boy?
00:11:05If I were very beautiful and had nut brown hair, would you keep me?
00:11:08No.
00:11:09A girl would be of no use to us, but don't stand there gaping.
00:11:11Come along.
00:11:12Bring your bag.
00:11:13Now you're here, I suppose we'll have to put you somewheres.
00:11:16Now, take your hat off.
00:11:18You'll have to have some supper, of course.
00:11:20Oh, I can't eat.
00:11:21I can never eat when I'm in the depths of despair.
00:11:24Depths of despair.
00:11:25Can you eat when you're that way?
00:11:26I've never been that way.
00:11:27Well, can't you even imagine you're in the depths of despair?
00:11:30No, I can't.
00:11:31Here's your room for tonight.
00:11:32Wash up.
00:11:33Come down and supper.
00:11:33Yes, ma'am.
00:11:43Tomorrow I'm going to find out who's responsible for all this rigmaroleing.
00:11:47I'll drive over and see Mrs. Spencer, that's certain.
00:11:50This girl has got to go back to the asylum tomorrow.
00:11:53I suppose so.
00:11:55You suppose so?
00:11:56Don't you know it?
00:11:57Well, now, she's a real nice little thing, Marilla.
00:12:00It's kind of a pity to send her back when she's so set on staying here.
00:12:04Matthew Cuthbert, I believe that child is the witcher.
00:12:06I can see as plain as plain you want to keep her.
00:12:08You should have heard her talking coming from the station.
00:12:13I don't like children who have so much to say.
00:12:15As far as I'm concerned, it's a closed book.
00:12:18I can hire a boy to help me.
00:12:22And she'd be company for you.
00:12:25I'm not suffering for company.
00:12:26And she's going right back where she came from.
00:12:37Look out for my feet.
00:12:43Hurry, child.
00:12:45I was just taking a farewell look at the place.
00:12:48You see, in the years to come, I want to look back upon Green Gables
00:12:51is a beautiful dream that I hope will always haunt me.
00:12:55Don't you think that girls...
00:12:56You can think about it on the road.
00:12:57Never mind that.
00:13:00Goodbye, Mr. Cuthbert.
00:13:02I shall never forget your kindness.
00:13:05Goodbye.
00:13:06Get up.
00:13:09Matthew, don't forget to take the butter out of the churn.
00:13:12And be sure you close the gate to the pasture.
00:13:14If Mrs. Barry comes over, return that sugar I borrowed.
00:13:25But my dear Mrs. Spencer,
00:13:27I can't understand how such a mistake could happen.
00:13:30There's no harm done, Miss Cuthbert.
00:13:32I'm sure Mrs. Lewis will take it.
00:13:41Mama, Mrs. Spencer's here with another leaf.
00:13:51Good morning.
00:13:53This is Miss Cuthbert, Mrs. Lewis.
00:13:55And this is the girl I told you about.
00:13:57Come in.
00:14:03I got a stew on the fire.
00:14:06I'll be right back.
00:14:09Sit down, Miss Cuthbert.
00:14:15I still can't understand how it happened.
00:14:22How ever in the world you made such a mistake?
00:14:26I understand how you feel about it.
00:14:28That's why I brought you here.
00:14:30It can all be straightened out.
00:14:32I'm sure Mrs. Blewett will take Anne.
00:14:34She's so anxious to get anyone to help with the children.
00:14:39I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs. Spencer.
00:14:42So much to do.
00:14:48What's your name?
00:14:49Anne Shirley.
00:14:50How old are you?
00:14:52Fourteen.
00:14:53Well, there ain't much to you, but you look wiry.
00:14:56You know, but what's your kind of the best, after all?
00:14:59If I take you, you'll have to be a good girl.
00:15:01You know, good and smart and respectful.
00:15:04Not expect you to earn your keep.
00:15:05No mistake about that.
00:15:15Well, I suppose I might as well take her off your hands right now.
00:15:28Well, I don't know.
00:15:31I think I'd better take her home again and talk it over with Matthew.
00:15:34I oughtn't to do anything without consulting him.
00:15:45If we make up our minds not to keep her, I'll bring or send her back tomorrow.
00:15:51Will that be all right, Mrs. Blewett?
00:15:53Well, I suppose it'll have to be.
00:15:56Good day.
00:16:05I wouldn't give a dog I like to that, Blewett woman.
00:16:11Matthew, aren't you going to say anything?
00:16:15I wish you were more like other men and would talk things out.
00:16:18The body would answer back then, argue you into reason.
00:16:22Must be done with men who just look.
00:16:34Here's your nightgown.
00:16:37Thank you, it was all...
00:16:38Get into it.
00:16:43Don't forget to say your prayers.
00:16:45Do you think they're essential?
00:16:47Why, what do you mean?
00:16:48Weren't you taught to say your prayers?
00:16:49Well, I used to at the Asylum Sunday School, but weekdays, I'm afraid I was just too tired.
00:16:54Well, you will say your prayers while you're under my roof.
00:17:00Why, of course, if you want me to.
00:17:05Kneel down.
00:17:06Now, that's the part I never could understand.
00:17:09Why must people kneel down to pray?
00:17:11Now, if I really wanted to pray, I'd go out into a great big field, all alone.
00:17:16And then I'd look up at the sky.
00:17:18The beautiful sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness.
00:17:22I'd imagine it was the dome of a great cathedral.
00:17:25Or the canopy of heaven.
00:17:27And then, I'd just feel a prayer.
00:17:36Well, what am I to say?
00:17:42Well, Anne, I think you're big enough to pray for yourself.
00:17:47Just thank God for his blessings.
00:17:51And ask him humbly for the things you want.
00:17:54Well, I'll try and do my best.
00:17:58Gracious Heavenly Father, I thank Thee for everything.
00:18:01As for the things I especially want,
00:18:03they're so numerous it would take a great deal of time to name them.
00:18:06So I'll only mention the two most important.
00:18:09Please let me stay here.
00:18:11And please make me beautiful when I grow up.
00:18:15I remain yours respectfully, Anne Shirley.
00:18:22There. Did I do all right?
00:18:24Yes.
00:18:44Good night, Anne.
00:18:45Good night.
00:18:52Oh, Miss Cuthbert.
00:18:54I just remembered.
00:18:56I should have said amen instead of yours respectfully, shouldn't I?
00:18:59Do you suppose it will make any difference?
00:19:01No.
00:19:02I don't suppose it will.
00:19:24Come on, Anne.
00:19:25Finish your breakfast.
00:19:26Oh, I'm all finished.
00:19:28Why, you haven't eaten anything.
00:19:30Won't you tell me if you're going to send me back?
00:19:32I've tried to be patient all morning,
00:19:34but I just can't bear it any longer.
00:19:37Please tell me.
00:19:40Go tidy your room and rest your best.
00:19:42But it's all tidy, and this is my best.
00:19:44Then go wash your hands and hurry.
00:19:45I just saw Mrs. Barry coming up the path, and I want you to look your nicest.
00:19:53Good morning, Marilla.
00:19:54Come in, Rachel.
00:19:57I do hope everything's all right so far.
00:20:00It's a great responsibility you've taken on yourself.
00:20:03There's no telling how a child like that will turn out.
00:20:07I don't want to discourage you.
00:20:08I'm not feeling discouraged.
00:20:09I suppose you want to see Anne.
00:20:12Anne?
00:20:12A girl?
00:20:13Yes, a girl.
00:20:15Anne?
00:20:16Anne Shirley!
00:20:21This is Mrs. Ballet.
00:20:23How do you do?
00:20:29Well, she didn't pick you for looks.
00:20:33A bit skinny.
00:20:36Lawful heart.
00:20:37Did anyone ever see such hair?
00:20:39Red as carrots.
00:20:40How dare you say I'm skinny?
00:20:42And how dare you say I'm red-headed?
00:20:43You're an impolite, rude, unfeeling woman.
00:20:45And I hate you.
00:20:47Anne.
00:20:47How would you like to have nasty things said about you?
00:20:49How would you like to be told that you're ugly and you're gossipy?
00:20:53And you're sour as an old crab apple?
00:20:54Anne!
00:20:56Anne Shirley?
00:20:59Well, I don't envy you your job of bringing that up.
00:21:03You shouldn't have twitted her about her looks, Rachel.
00:21:06Marilla Cuthbert.
00:21:07I'm not trying to excuse her, but we must make allowances.
00:21:10Perhaps she hasn't been taught what's right.
00:21:12And you were hard on her, Rachel.
00:21:15I see.
00:21:15I'll have to be very careful about what I say after this.
00:21:18Orphans, broken goodness knows where, seem to be considered before anything else.
00:21:23Well, if you take my advice, and I don't suppose you will, you'll do the talking tool with a good
00:21:27-sized birch switch.
00:21:28Goodbye, Marilla.
00:21:30Come down to see me as often as you can.
00:21:32But don't expect me to visit here again if I'm to be flown at and insulted in such a fashion.
00:21:39Goodbye, Rachel.
00:21:59That was a nice way for you to behave.
00:22:01And of all people, you would pick on Rachel Barry.
00:22:03She hadn't any right to call me skinny and red-headed.
00:22:07Rachel may have been too outspoken, but she's your elder, a stranger, and my visitor.
00:22:12Three very good reasons why you should have been respectful.
00:22:15She deserves an apology, and you go to her and say you're sorry.
00:22:19I could never do that.
00:22:23You can punish me in any way you like.
00:22:25You can shut me up in a dark dungeon inhabited by snakes and toads,
00:22:28and you can feed me on bread and water, and I shall not complain.
00:22:33Oh, but I cannot ask Mrs. Barry to forgive me.
00:22:36If you expect to remain under my roof, you'll apologize to Mrs. Barry.
00:22:40Then I'll leave now.
00:22:41Send me back to the orphanage.
00:22:43I'll never tell Mrs. Barry that I'm sorry.
00:22:48Sounds as if she meant it.
00:22:50Oh, she's determined, all right.
00:22:52Well, maybe it's best.
00:22:55I've a feeling we would never like her.
00:22:57Matthew Cuthbert, don't form opinions for me.
00:23:00I never said I do or don't like her.
00:23:03When the time comes, I'll speak my own mind.
00:24:26Thank you, Mr. Cuthbert.
00:24:30Well, I see you're leaving.
00:24:32How could I remain here after all those things Mrs. Barry said about me?
00:24:36I can see that.
00:24:38And I'll never say I'm sorry because I'm not.
00:24:41I can't even imagine I'm sorry.
00:24:44Marilla thinks it's best you're going back.
00:24:46And I don't know but what she's right.
00:24:50It's kind of a lonely place for a little girl here.
00:24:54No other children, you know.
00:24:56And well, after all, you're used to the orphanage and all your old friends are there.
00:25:03I guess you'd like it better.
00:25:09Of course, if you'd rather stay around here, you can always go to Mrs. Blewett.
00:25:13She'd...
00:25:14Mr. Cuthbert...
00:25:14Of course, I might be able to see you sometimes, but perhaps...
00:25:20Well, I guess you'd better go back to the orphanage.
00:25:23Mr. Cuthbert, suppose I change my mind.
00:25:26What about Mrs. Barry?
00:25:28You know, Marilla's a dreadfully determined woman.
00:25:31I'd just rather die than tell Mrs. Barry I'm sorry.
00:25:35Don't you think you'd better do it and get it over with?
00:25:38You know, you don't have to be exactly sorry.
00:25:41You can be sort of sorry.
00:25:43And that'd kind of smooth it over.
00:25:46Well, if you really want me to...
00:25:49Well, I've been thinking, Anne.
00:25:51It would be terribly lonesome downstairs without you.
00:25:54It seems that the sooner...
00:25:56I'll do it.
00:25:56You go back downstairs, then I'll come down and tell Mrs. Cuthbert that I've repented.
00:26:00Good.
00:26:05Now, don't you tell her that I said anything about it.
00:26:10She might think that I was interfering.
00:26:12And that'd spoil the whole thing.
00:26:16It'll be just our secret.
00:26:19Wild horses couldn't drag the secret from me.
00:26:25How could wild horses drag a secret from anybody?
00:26:56Miss Cuthbert?
00:26:58Miss Cuthbert?
00:27:02what is it i'm sorry i lost my temper and said those rude things and and i'm willing to go

00:34:16you
00:34:17you
00:34:24you
00:34:25you
00:34:25you
00:34:28you
00:34:34you
00:34:35you
00:34:45you
00:34:48you
00:34:51you
00:34:53you
00:35:04I'm awful sorry I made fun of your hair.
00:35:09Honest, I am.
00:35:15The first time I ever heard Gilbert Blythe apologize for anything.
00:35:19You should be angry with him for making fun of your hair.
00:35:22He called me Toehead.
00:35:24There's a great difference between being called a Toehead and being called Carrots.
00:35:28I shall never forgive him.
00:35:30Gilbert Blythe has hurt my feelings excruciatingly.
00:35:42Anne.
00:35:43Yes, sir?
00:35:47Never mind appearing so innocent.
00:35:49I've heard all about it.
00:35:50And your first day at school.
00:35:52But, Marilla, it was...
00:35:53Don't you dare stop me.
00:35:54I'm so ashamed of you, I don't know where to begin.
00:35:56What do you mean, breaking slates over other students' heads?
00:35:58He called me Carrots.
00:35:59I don't care what he called you.
00:36:00You had no right to lose your temper.
00:36:01He hadn't any right to say it.
00:36:03And I think that Gilbert Blythe is a...
00:36:05Who did you say it was?
00:36:07Gilbert Blythe.
00:36:12Did you smash your slate?
00:36:15Yes.
00:36:17Well, go upstairs and get ready for supper.
00:36:22Run along.
00:36:23You must be starved.
00:36:30That's what I couldn't understand.
00:36:32I thought Marilla would give me a tanning, or at least a talking to.
00:36:35But she didn't even give me a tug at the ear.
00:36:37I should have told you Marilla doesn't like Gilbert.
00:36:40And it isn't his fault, either.
00:36:42It's his father's.
00:36:43Why, Diana, what do you mean?
00:36:45Well, one night when Mother thought I was asleep, I heard her talking to Mrs. Blair.
00:36:49It was something about Gilbert's father running away with the girl that was to marry Matthew.
00:36:54And Mother said Matthew was never the same after that.
00:36:58Marilla didn't get married either because she thought it was her duty to take care of Matthew.
00:37:02Diana, this is terribly interesting.
00:37:04What else did they say?
00:37:06Mrs. Blair said that Gilbert isn't even allowed to set foot on the Cuthbert property.
00:37:16I'm going to find out more about this.
00:37:24Warm day, isn't it?
00:37:26Not too warm to do your churning.
00:37:29Marilla, would you mind if I ask you sort of a personal question?
00:37:32What is it?
00:37:33Well, are you sure you're not harboring any ill feeling against me because I broke my slate over Gilbert Blythe's
00:37:40head?
00:37:42You probably had just cause.
00:37:45Do you think it's nice to invite Diana here to do your work?
00:37:48Run along now.
00:37:52I'm going to try Matthew.
00:37:59And so poor Juliet died.
00:38:02And so did Romeo.
00:38:04Now wasn't that sad?
00:38:06Yes.
00:38:07Just think of it.
00:38:09The both of them dead in the full bloom of youth.
00:38:11All because two families fought with each other.
00:38:15You don't think people act that way today, do you?
00:38:19And when you get as old as I am, you'll know the world hasn't changed very much.
00:38:26Did you know that I hit Gilbert Blythe over the head with my slate?
00:38:30I heard something about it.
00:38:32You know, I like that story about Romeo and Juliet.
00:38:36Do you know any up-to-date stories like that, Mr. Cuthbert?
00:38:39No, and if I were you, I wouldn't tell the ones you imagine around here, especially to Marilla.
00:38:47Oh, I won't if you don't want me to, but I'd sort of like to know why.
00:38:51Well, Marilla doesn't believe in stories.
00:38:55Is that the only reason?
00:38:57It's getting kind of late, Anne.
00:39:00I think we'd better start for the house.
00:39:07Love, marriage, friendship, courtship, hate.
00:39:10Love, marriage, Marilla.
00:39:16Good morning, Marilla.
00:39:17Morning, darling.
00:39:21Marilla, you look perfectly scrumptious.
00:39:23Well, you wouldn't expect a body would go to the ladies' aid in their kitchen clothes, would you?
00:39:27Someday I'm going to have a brooch like that.
00:39:29Oh, I think amethysts are lovely.
00:39:31That's what I used to imagine diamonds were like.
00:39:34Such lovely, glimmering purple stones.
00:39:38Marilla, would it be asking too much if someday you granted me the privilege of wearing it for just an
00:39:43hour?
00:39:43We'll see.
00:39:45Oh, I should love to see it on my green brocade with the rippling flout.
00:39:49Why don't you wear it on your falarn, the one with the big white spots on it?
00:39:52Well, don't you think it would look nicer on my taffeta?
00:39:55What are you two babbling about?
00:39:57Diana and I have been imagining what we should wear on the hayride.
00:39:59Of course, it wouldn't really matter what the dress was made of as long as it had puffed sleeves.
00:40:04Don't you think puffed sleeves would be beautiful, Diana?
00:40:07Stop chattering.
00:40:08Run along to school.
00:40:12Matthew, get my lunch basket.
00:40:16Oh, Marilla.
00:40:17May I tell Mr. Phillips I'm going on the hayride?
00:40:20I'll think about it when the time comes.
00:40:23Bye, Marilla.
00:40:24Bye, Matthew.
00:40:26Bye.
00:40:39Is Marilla going with you on the hayride?
00:40:41I don't suppose so.
00:40:42Matthew?
00:40:43I think he would if I asked him.
00:40:44He had fought with Gilbert.
00:40:45He might have taken you.
00:40:46What makes you think he wouldn't now?
00:40:48All I have to do is wave my little finger at Gilbert's life.
00:40:51And he'll come obey.
00:41:22Where's Marilla?
00:41:24In her room.
00:41:28Here.
00:41:29Open this up.
00:41:31I'll keep watch.
00:41:42Puffed sleeves.
00:41:50For the first time in my life, I've run out of words.
00:41:53I just don't know how to thank you.
00:41:59Anne.
00:42:02Anne Shelley.
00:42:03Yes, ma'am.
00:42:08Have you seen my amethyst brooch?
00:42:09Why, yes.
00:42:10Did you touch it?
00:42:10Why, yes.
00:42:11I just pinned it on to see how it would look.
00:42:12What right did you meddle with my brooch?
00:42:14Where'd you put it?
00:42:15I put it right back up on the bureau.
00:42:17Honest, Marilla, I didn't mean to meddle.
00:42:18And I promise I'll never do it again.
00:42:20You know, that's one good thing about me.
00:42:22I never do the same wrong thing twice.
00:42:25Anne.
00:42:26The brooch is gone.
00:42:27And you were the last person to handle it.
00:42:29Now tell me the truth.
00:42:30Did you take it out and lose it?
00:42:32No, I didn't.
00:42:33Anne, surely you're telling a falsehood.
00:42:35Now go to your room.
00:42:37And you'll stay there until you confess, even if it takes a month of Sundays.
00:42:41If you'll just let me out for the hayride, I'll stay in my room as long as you like, cheerfully.
00:42:46But I've just got to go to the hayride.
00:42:48You'll go to no hayride, nor anywhere else, until you tell me the truth.
00:42:51No, no, no, no.
00:43:21Don't you see, Diana?
00:43:22I can't have Marilla believe I took that brooch.
00:43:25Then you won't be able to go on the hayride, will you?
00:43:28That's what makes me grieve.
00:43:29I so wanted to go.
00:43:31Oh, I wouldn't be too upset about it.
00:43:34Anyway, I heard that Gilbert's going to take Alice Wainwright.
00:43:39I'd like to go, if for no other reason,
00:43:41than to show you I can make Gilbert Blytheat right out of my hand.
00:43:52Marilla, I'm ready to confess.
00:43:55I expected you'd be.
00:43:57Come downstairs and let me hear what you have to say.
00:44:00I took the amethyst brooch.
00:44:02I didn't mean to,
00:44:04but it was so beautiful I was overcome with irresistible temptation.
00:44:08I was imagining I was Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald,
00:44:11and it was so much easier to imagine I was Lady Cordelia
00:44:13if I had the amethyst brooch on.
00:44:15Then I strolled through Lovers Lane,
00:44:17and when I got to the bridge,
00:44:19I took it off to have another look at it.
00:44:21Then I leaned over to see my reflection
00:44:23in the lake of the shining waters.
00:44:25And the brooch slipped through my fingers
00:44:28and went down, down, down,
00:44:31and sank from sight forever.
00:44:36And that's the best I can do at confessing, Marilla.
00:44:39Now may I go on the hayride?
00:44:41No.
00:44:43But you promised I could if I confessed.
00:44:45You're not going on the hayride, and that's final.
00:44:48Mrs. Barry was right.
00:44:49She warned me from the first.
00:44:50I should have known.
00:44:51Marilla.
00:45:21Anne, what did you mean by saying you took it and lost it?
00:45:24Well, you said you'd keep me in my room till I confessed,
00:45:27so I just thought up a confession
00:45:29and made it as interesting as I could.
00:45:57Good evening, Mr. Bly.
00:46:03Hey, Joe, hold this for me, will you?
00:46:05I'm ready to forgive you.
00:46:15Hello, Diana.
00:46:16Hello, Jeffrey.
00:46:18Say, where have you been?
00:46:20I thought you'd never get here.
00:46:22Come on, you sit right up here.
00:46:24Right there, and I'll sit beside you.
00:46:50Good morning, Miss Shirley.
00:46:52Have a good time on the hayride?
00:46:55You're not angry, are you?
00:46:57I would appreciate it exceedingly, Mr. Blythe,
00:46:59if you would stop annoying me.
00:47:01Oh, let's forget it, Anne.
00:47:03I only took her because I...
00:47:04Oh, I wouldn't have gone with you anyway.
00:47:05Furthermore, I promised myself never to speak to you again.
00:47:08Let's call it quits, huh?
00:47:10It is impolite to pass a person without at least nodding.
00:47:12So from now on, I'm merely nodding to you.
00:47:15Why don't you come off your high horse?
00:47:17If I tolerate you at all, Mr. Blythe,
00:47:19it's because you're a character.
00:47:21I'm a what?
00:47:22A character.
00:47:23I don't understand you.
00:47:25Well, if you must know,
00:47:28Mr. Phillips is a character,
00:47:29and Matthew's a character,
00:47:31and you're a character.
00:47:33I think you read too much.
00:47:36Please let me go.
00:47:38I'll be late.
00:47:39Will you let me walk home with you after school?
00:47:41I should say not.
00:47:43One of these days,
00:47:44you'll be glad to have me for a bow.
00:47:46I have a bow.
00:47:48Oh, and he's a character too?
00:47:51No, I like him.
00:47:53Then why wasn't he on the hayride?
00:47:56He's too grown up for such things.
00:48:02The results of the annual essay contest
00:48:04among the junior students
00:48:05of the Prince of Wales College
00:48:07were announced yesterday.
00:48:10First honors were given to Herbert Root.
00:48:21I've just been reading
00:48:22from a newspaper article
00:48:23about one of my former pupils,
00:48:25who incidentally was never tardy.
00:48:30This former pupil of mine,
00:48:32Herbert Root,
00:48:33has just won the junior student's prize
00:48:36in an essay contest.
00:48:38I'll read further from the article.
00:48:41Young Root surprised the committee
00:48:43by the depth of his thesis.
00:48:46He took for his subject
00:48:47the Tennyson classic,
00:48:49The Lady of Shalott.
00:48:50His thesis was awarded first prize
00:48:53by unanimous vote.
00:48:56Naturally, I'm proud that Young Root
00:48:58was a product of this school.
00:49:00And I can only hope
00:49:01that from this year's class
00:49:03may spring a pupil just as brilliant.
00:49:21I'll make Mr. Phillips
00:49:22forget all about Herbert Root
00:49:24when I get to Charlottetown.
00:49:25I think Herbert is the smartest boy
00:49:27on Prince Edward Island.
00:49:29What do you happen to know?
00:49:31I said,
00:49:32Herbert Root is the smartest boy
00:49:34on the island.
00:49:34And you, Gilbert Blythe,
00:49:36are annoyingly inquisitive.
00:49:40Anybody think you know Herbie?
00:49:43Wouldn't you be surprised
00:49:44if I told you that we've corresponded
00:49:46for a long, long time?
00:49:48As a matter of fact, Gilbert Blythe,
00:49:50Herbert Root was to have taken me
00:49:52on the hayride.
00:49:53Only he couldn't get here in time.
00:49:55He was?
00:49:56How long have you known him?
00:50:07My dear pupils,
00:50:08last week I discussed with you
00:50:10a young man of whom I'm very proud.
00:50:13Herbert Root.
00:50:16Herbert, we are all very happy
00:50:18to have you here today.
00:50:19And would you be so good
00:50:21as to say a few words
00:50:22to the class?
00:50:23Of course.
00:50:28My success in the main,
00:50:29Mr. Phillips,
00:50:30was due to your teaching.
00:50:31I held before me constantly
00:50:33the text of many of your lectures.
00:50:35To wit that no definite rules
00:50:36are necessary for fine writing.
00:50:40I chose for my subject
00:50:41the Lady of Charlott
00:50:42because it presented
00:50:43an interesting problem
00:50:44and unrequited love.
00:50:46There was no question
00:50:47in my mind
00:50:48of what the Lady of Charlott
00:50:49loved Lancelot.
00:50:50But there was a question
00:50:51in my mind
00:50:52as to whether he even knew her.
00:50:55Hence,
00:50:55I place particular emphasis
00:50:57on that portion of the poem
00:50:58from the time she decided
00:50:59to lie down in death
00:51:00on the boat
00:51:01to Lancelot's memorable line,
00:51:03she has a lovely face,
00:51:04et cetera,
00:51:04the Lady of Charlott.
00:51:06And that's how
00:51:07I won the contest.
00:51:10Thank you, Herbert.
00:51:12And now, my pupils,
00:51:14I will declare a short recess
00:51:16that you may meet Herbert
00:51:17and ask him any questions.
00:51:29Aren't you going to speak to him?
00:51:32Or are you just going to correspond?
00:51:35Go on, Anne.
00:51:44I know the handwriting
00:51:46and the findings of words.
00:51:48I should like to have a copy
00:51:49of your essay, Herbert.
00:51:50I would advise it.
00:51:51Certainly, Mr. Kelly.
00:51:54Hello.
00:51:58Hello.
00:52:00How do you do?
00:52:27How do you do?
00:52:35Something wrong, Anne?
00:52:38I've come to the conclusion
00:52:39that a good imagination
00:52:40is a bad thing.
00:52:42And there's no romance
00:52:43in the world.
00:52:45Now,
00:52:49you mustn't think that way.
00:52:51There is such a thing
00:52:52as romance.
00:52:54If it ever comes near me,
00:52:55I'll let it pass right by.
00:52:58I'll give it up.
00:53:00No.
00:53:01Don't ever give it all up, Anne.
00:53:04A little of it
00:53:05is a good thing.
00:53:07Not too much, of course.
00:53:09But keep a little.
00:53:13Just a little.
00:53:33Down she came
00:53:34and found a boat
00:53:35beneath a willow
00:53:35left afloat
00:53:37and round about
00:53:38the prow she wrote
00:53:39The Lady of Shalott.
00:53:49The Lady of Shalott.
00:53:49I don't know.
00:54:11I don't think that way
00:54:36And at the closing of the day, she loosed the chain, and down she lay.
00:54:53The broad stream bore her far away, the Lady of Shalom.
00:55:04And ere she reached upon the tide, the first house by the waterside, singing in her song,
00:55:11and she died, the Lady of Shalom.
00:55:26The End
00:55:35The End
00:56:04Hang on, Anne.
00:56:07Don't be afraid, though.
00:56:10Don't let go.
00:56:11I won't.
00:56:12Give me a hand.
00:56:16Give me the other hand.
00:56:18Let me get you put over the limb.
00:56:27Oh, it's you.
00:56:28Yes, ma'am.
00:56:29And I bet you're glad I'm here, too.
00:56:31I'm overwhelmingly grateful to you, Mr. Gilbert Blythe.
00:56:35And I thank you very kindly.
00:56:38Bet I saved your life, too.
00:56:40I'm a hero.
00:56:41A real hero would guard such a secret to his dying moment.
00:56:45And he'd never breathe a word of it, not to anybody.
00:56:48Oh, I wouldn't tell.
00:56:50You know I wouldn't.
00:56:51You swear on your word of honor?
00:56:53Crossed my heart.
00:56:55This must remain our very own secret.
00:56:58No.
00:56:59I've reconsidered.
00:57:01We can never have a secret because you hurt my feelings excruciatingly.
00:57:04You made fun of my hair.
00:57:07Well, that's because I...
00:57:08I just couldn't keep my eyes off it.
00:57:11It was kind of nice looking at it.
00:57:14Only I...
00:57:15When I tried to tell you about it, I guess I didn't say it right.
00:57:19Why, Gilbert Blythe, you really mean that?
00:57:21Mm-hmm.
00:57:22Then I shall relent.
00:57:24After all, you did save my life.
00:57:26You are entitled to a reward.
00:57:30And I shall kiss you.
00:57:34You don't claim your reward?
00:57:36Yes, I do.
00:57:38And I...
00:57:38I want you to be my girl.
00:57:47You know I've always liked you.
00:57:49That's why I teased you.
00:57:50Then why did you take Alice Wainwright on the hayride?
00:57:53And you've got a memory like an elephant.
00:57:55Why can't you forget a thing that happened over a year ago?
00:57:59Why should I?
00:58:00You hurt me terribly.
00:58:04Well, you are going to wrap me around your little finger.
00:58:07Did Diana tell you that?
00:58:09No.
00:58:10I promised you.
00:58:11Then how'd you know?
00:58:13Look, I've never told you this before.
00:58:15But I can see things ahead.
00:58:18Long before they've happened.
00:58:20I'm a mind reader.
00:58:21You're a neavesdropper.
00:58:24Will I see you tonight?
00:58:26Why ask me?
00:58:27You're the mind reader.
00:58:38Hello, Ann.
00:58:39Why, I thought I'd never get away.
00:58:41Gee, you're brave meeting me here.
00:58:42I wonder what would happen if Marilla ever phoned off.
00:58:45Let's hope she never does.
00:58:46I wouldn't know what to do.
00:58:48I've got something for you.
00:58:50Close your eyes.
00:58:51Hold out your hands.
00:58:58A locket.
00:59:00I've always wanted one.
00:59:03Oh, Gilbert.
00:59:04I bought it at Jim Lawson's.
00:59:06And it's guaranteed not to turn green.
00:59:09It's beautiful.
00:59:10But how can I ever...
00:59:11Don't worry about it.
00:59:13You can wear it out when you're not around Marilla and Matthew.
00:59:16And you can tuck it in when you're home.
00:59:23Happy birthday.
00:59:24Thank you, Ann.
00:59:29Oh, gee, they're swell.
00:59:32If it weren't so cold, I'd put them on right now.
00:59:34I finished them last night.
00:59:38What was that?
00:59:40Nothing.
00:59:41I think I'd better run back.
00:59:45Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:59:47That's the first time you've ever called me that.
00:59:49Do you mind?
00:59:50I've been wanting you to for three years.
00:59:59Kissing. Anne Shirley kissing.
01:00:01Anne Shirley kissing that blithe boy.
01:00:05Mrs. Barry saw it with her own two eyes.
01:00:07She rushed right up here to tell me.
01:00:10Why don't you say something, Matthew Cuthbert?
01:00:14Well, that's interesting.
01:00:16Interesting?
01:00:17You should be ashamed of yourself sitting there and taking it so casual-like.
01:00:21Well, they're just youngsters.
01:00:23Youngsters? Fiddlesticks.
01:00:24I wager they've been meeting at that place for heaven knows how long.
01:00:27And you've probably known it all along.
01:00:29No, Marilla. I've never been down near that tree.
01:00:34How do you know it was by a tree?
01:00:37A person can imagine things.
01:00:40You stop acting so innocent like them.
01:00:42Well, after all, Marilla,
01:00:43if you know her body can only be young once and Anne hasn't had-
01:00:46You stop protecting her. That girl's an ingrate.
01:00:48After all we've done for her.
01:00:50To take up with Gilbert Blythe.
01:00:51The one person.
01:00:53His father.
01:01:08And Shirley.
01:01:09When we took you in, I never would have dreamed that-
01:01:11Now, Marilla.
01:01:11You keep your all out of this, Matthew.
01:01:13You know what I'm talking about.
01:01:14And you know what we think of Gilbert Blythe.
01:01:16Please, Marilla.
01:01:20Why must you say things that-
01:01:21Wait, Marilla.
01:01:22I don't see any use in trying to make matters worse.
01:01:48Ann.
01:01:50I don't want to hurt you by referring to what I consider your indebtedness to us.
01:01:54But I want you to promise me you'll never see Gilbert Blythe again.
01:01:58Please, Marilla.
01:01:59I'll not leave this room until I hear you say you'll not see him again.
01:02:20This tree is the dividing line between the Blythe and Cuthbert properties.
01:02:24And I never thought I'd live to see the day when I would be compelled to cross it.
01:02:28I've come to talk to you about Ann.
01:02:30It's high time somebody did.
01:02:32Don't think I've had my eyes shut and my ears closed all along.
01:02:36And don't think I'm going to let that girl go on sacrificing herself and suffering for it.
01:02:41But, Miss Cuthbert, I don't-
01:02:42This much you ought to know.
01:02:43Ann's not a child.
01:02:44She knows what she owes us and she knows what her responsibilities are.
01:02:48That girl has ambitions to make something of herself.
01:02:50She's going to normal school as soon as she's ready.
01:02:52And she can't let anything stand in her way.
01:02:56I wouldn't stand in her way for anything in the world.
01:02:59No friend of hers would.
01:03:00No friend of hers would even try to see her anymore.
01:03:03As far as Ann is concerned, all this fool carrying on was a mistake.
01:03:07And it's got to stop.
01:03:09Stop right now.
01:03:28Tell him he doesn't understand.
01:03:29Tell him I'll see him the first minute I can steal away.
01:03:32Won't be any use.
01:03:33He was all packed up when he wrote the note.
01:03:35Just told me to bring it to you.
01:03:37I asked him where he was going, but he wouldn't tell me.
01:04:00There.
01:04:02That ought to hold her for the trip.
01:04:07There's no call for you to be looking like a lost calf.
01:04:11I'm just fixing to make it harder for everyone.
01:04:14I'm fixing to do anything the sort.
01:04:16I've seen lots of people go away in trains in my lifetime.
01:04:21What makes your nose so red and twitchy then?
01:04:23That's a frostbitten nose.
01:04:25Got a right to look red and to twitch too.
01:04:28I don't like people who get emotional over nothing.
01:04:32Ann, hurry up.
01:04:34Expect that train to wait for you?
01:04:36I'm coming.
01:04:38What gave you the idea her schooling was going to pinch us?
01:04:42I never said any such thing.
01:04:48Then don't even think it.
01:04:51Fine thing that would be for Ann to get wind of.
01:05:10No, you mustn't come with me.
01:05:12I've already asked Eddie Grant to drive me to the station.
01:05:15I couldn't bear to say goodbye to you in front of all those people.
01:05:19I might cry.
01:05:21It's getting emotional over nothing.
01:05:25Nothing?
01:05:27Why, you've been angels to me.
01:05:29You're both such darlings and...
01:05:31and you're never...
01:05:32I've just got to kiss you.
01:05:39Alderaal.
01:05:41Kissing.
01:05:43Might as well kiss him too, I suppose.
01:06:06I can't help thinking...
01:06:09I wish she'd always stayed a little girl.
01:06:12Nobody can deny she's real tall and stylish.
01:06:16Nobody.
01:06:17Nobody at all.
01:06:19She's smart too.
01:06:21And pretty.
01:06:24And loving.
01:06:26You know, Matthew...
01:06:27I get afraid when I think of it.
01:06:31She'll be away so long.
01:06:33I'll get terrible lonesome.
01:06:37That was a lucky mistake, Mrs. Spencers.
01:06:39When she didn't bring us a boy.
01:06:41Who wanted a boy?
01:06:43Nobody.
01:06:44I certainly didn't.
01:06:46Nor I.
01:06:47So you see, it wasn't luck that brought her here.
01:06:50It was Providence.
01:06:52We needed her.
01:06:54Even with all her...
01:06:57odd ways?
01:06:58I...
01:06:59loved her for them.
01:07:02Who said they were odd ways?
01:07:04Nobody.
01:07:05I certainly didn't.
01:07:38Dianna!
01:07:39Oh, how glad I am to see you.
01:07:43Well, turn around and let me look at you.
01:07:47You've grown so
01:07:48Oh, Ann
01:07:49And you've become prettier
01:07:53And you're a married woman
01:07:56Tell me, are you very happy and very much in love?
01:08:00Yes, Ann, very much
01:08:02How wonderful that must be
01:08:04To think of him all the time and know that he's thinking of you
01:08:08And nobody can interfere
01:08:10That must be happiness
01:08:13Oh, Ann, someday you and Gilbert will
01:08:16He's back
01:08:17Did you know he was studying medicine?
01:08:19Yes, I know
01:08:20At least, I thought he would
01:08:22You never hear from him?
01:08:26Dr. Tatum says that when Gilbert graduates
01:08:28He's going to make him his assistant
01:08:29Please, Diana, let's not talk of Gilbert
01:08:33I'm still your bosom friend
01:08:35But I...
01:08:44Tell me about everybody
01:08:46Did you see Matthew and Marilla before he left?
01:08:49Yes, but I only stayed a few minutes
01:08:51Matthew is pretty sick to be bothered with visitors
01:08:54Matthew's sick?
01:08:55Oh, Ann
01:08:56I'm sorry
01:08:57I...
01:08:58I thought you knew
01:09:00I should have known when he didn't write
01:09:02That's why it was always Marilla
01:09:04I must get back to Green Gables
01:09:05But how can you leave now?
01:09:07Your final examinations are just two weeks off
01:09:09I can't help that
01:09:09I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to them
01:09:12But you've worked so hard
01:09:13And now you're going to throw it all away
01:09:14They need me
01:09:38Why, Ann
01:09:39Marilla
01:09:42Ann
01:09:43Why did you come back?
01:09:45May I see him?
01:09:46Not now, dear
01:09:48Dr. Tatum's with him
01:09:50Oh
01:09:51I'm sorry you found out
01:09:53Matthew didn't want you to know
01:09:54He...
01:09:54He said it might upset your schoolwork
01:10:10Well
01:10:11And certainly
01:10:12How are you?
01:10:13Fine, thanks, Dr. Tatum
01:10:15May I see Matthew?
01:10:17Better not disturb him now
01:10:18He's just dozed off to sleep
01:10:20And if we waken him
01:10:21The excitement of seeing you here
01:10:23Might...
01:10:24Might sort of set him back
01:10:30Marilla
01:10:31Would you mind
01:10:32Fixing me a pot of tea?
01:10:42Dr. Tatum
01:10:43Tell me
01:10:44I want to know
01:10:46It's serious, Ann
01:10:48Isn't there anything we can do?
01:10:50Well
01:10:52Folks are in a pretty bad way
01:10:55You mean financially?
01:10:57It would mean bringing in another doctor
01:10:59The best man in Canada
01:11:02He's in Nova Scotia
01:11:04That would cost an awful lot of money
01:11:08Well
01:11:10We have to get the money somehow
01:11:12They've sold about everything they could
01:11:16Why, even my house is mortgaged
01:11:19Yes
01:11:21They've deprived themselves of everything
01:11:23Just to keep me in school
01:11:28What's the name of that doctor in Nova Scotia?
01:11:30Terry
01:11:32Frederick W. Terry
01:11:33Gilbert Blythe has been studying under him
01:11:37I wish they'd have had such men when I went to school
01:11:47Come in
01:11:49A young lady to see you, Mr. Gilbert
01:11:51Have her come in
01:11:56Ann
01:12:02Hello, Gilbert
01:12:04I hope you don't mind
01:12:05My coming to see you
01:12:07I had to
01:12:12You know, it's wonderful to see you again, Ann
01:12:14I've missed you terribly
01:12:16We mustn't talk about that
01:12:17I promised Marilla that
01:12:18We've grown up since then, Ann
01:12:20There's nothing we can do, Gilbert
01:12:22And I owe them so much
01:12:24Now more than ever
01:12:26Since Matthew's illness, they're almost destitute
01:12:30It'll be all right, Ann
01:12:33Sorry
01:12:35Did you come to see me about Dr. Terry?
01:12:38Yes
01:12:38How did you know?
01:12:39Dr. Tatum told me he was needed
01:12:42Then...
01:12:51That's Dr. Terry
01:12:52I sent for him yesterday
01:12:57Gilbert
01:13:05Hello, doctor
01:13:06Hi, Gilbert
01:13:06Is he all right?
01:13:08May I see him now?
01:13:08I think it'll be all right
01:13:10I wouldn't get him too excited, however
01:13:25Matthew
01:13:28Very interesting case
01:13:30Quite similar to the one I hadn't robbed
01:13:39Fine young man, that Gilbert Bly
01:13:41He might have been my boy
01:13:49Once
01:13:59Marilla, where are you going?
01:14:03Get Gilbert Bly
01:14:04Then bring him right back here
01:14:06I want to take care of him now
01:14:25Open you through the hotel
01:14:25He might have been there
01:14:26You'll be when He would have been my boy
