On the Trail?
Its an adventure story.
Somethings written.
If this book should ever roam box its ears and send it home.
Jervis
Jervis Pendleton?
Then, Pendleton san is Jervie botchan?!
Mrs. Sempleton! Mrs. Sempleton!
What happened, Judy
Oh, I scraped my knee falling down the stairs
Oh dear, you're bleeding!
Hey, Mrs. Sempletorv this book...
Talk later.
Come here!
Just bear with it for a bit
Come to think of it, Jervie botchan fell down the stairs and scraped his knee in the same spot.
I remember it as though it happened yesterday.
That's right He injured himself all the time.
But he was a boy, Judy.
I'm sorry
By the way, this book
Its Jervie botchan's book.
Was it in the attic?
#unrecognized text#
There's something written with his signature on the first page...
Yes. Its Jervie botchan's signature.
He was eight years old
Its the book he read when he stayed here.
What are you* saying?
It was when he was s^^n.
He came here after he was sick
Really
That's right
Y6u're getting senile
Who's getting senile?
Who else would there be but you?
Why would I be getting senile?
Because you yell at the slightest thing!
What?!
um... that signature..
It says "Jervis Pendleton"...
Oh, that's Jervie botchan's name.
Then, he's Julia Rutledge Pendleton's uncle?
Rutledge?
Its unforgivable that she's in the same family as Jervie botchan.
The truth is, three years ago
Jervie-botchan's brother and his wife came over to play.
He made them leave.
I didn't do anything
They got bored and left
I thought so! They're the same person.
When I saw Julias uncle at school
Julia was busy, so she sent me in her place to show him around.
To show Jervis Pendleton-san around.
Yoiuknow Jervie botchari?
#unrecognized text#
He's completely different from Julia.
He's kind, has a good s^nse: of humor and he's a very fine gentleman.
Sloan san didn't realize that he was her uncle.
Oh, Sloan san is the manager of our dormitory
She even called the police, and there was a huge disturbance!
A huge disturbance?
Pendleton san asked me to show him my favorite place in the whole campus
I brought him up to the roof of the dormitory.
On the roof?!
To such a place?!
There was such a lovely view!
But I didn't think that he would actually climb on the roof.
Ohr this'certainly is a nice place.
I can see the whole campus.
You have good taste, Judy
WelL normal students wouldn't know of such a nice place.
I misunderstood him up until then.
An arrogant, rich, selfish, whimsical1.
and anyway, he's not normal!
He always says that about himself!
He's not like that at all!
Its the first time I met such a lovely rich person!
He's not like a rich person at alll
Oh yeah!
When we had tea together...
It didn't get on yoim clothes, did it?
#unrecognized text#
Excuse me.
This was a very enjoyable meal.
YYes.
That's strange.
I was sure I had my wallet-
Maybe you tipped too much!
All right I'll pay for the meal.
A rich person didn't have any money with him!
He wasn't snobby at alll
I met him for the first time, but I feel like I've known him for a long time.
Just talking with him was fun!
So, Botchan is doing well?
Yes. Very well.
Ancbthen, to thank me, he sent me some lovely chocolates!
I see, I see.
You know Jervie bbtchan.
Why didn't you tell us earlier?.
You made that impossible, darling.
Judy just realized it.
That's right
I looked at that book, and I thought "Maybe.
This * Lock >Willow Farm once belonged to Jervie botchan.
And then.
What? This is Jervie botchan's stepmother?
When he grew up, he gave us this farm.
He gave the farm to his stepmother.
I was moved to tears.
Since he was a child, he was honest and conscientious, and he did all this for us.
But its been a long time since she treated an injury like yours
Jervie botchan was energetic, played too-much and got hurt all the time.
He left all the doors open, and ran around inside the house.
He was cheery, energetic
playful, and I felt like running around inside the house with him.
Together with him, we felt happy.
He was that kind of kid Anything he did would make you laugh.
Come to think of it, it was tough to stop him from taking candy from the jar.
Dear Daddy Long Legs, I was really surprised!
Elsa and George are proud of Jervie botchan,
who is Pendleton san!
And when they knew that I knew Jervie botchan
they changed their impressions of me
and they treated me like a member of the family
All right! I'm going to do it well today!
Good, good, he's not there.
Sorry to bother you.
There, there. Sorry
He's here!
I said I wouldn't take your eggs!
Judy! Oont run!
#unrecognized text#
Hey! Hey, wait!
Hey! Wait!
He chases you because you run away.
If you keep running, you'll hurt yourself again.
#unrecognized text#
I understand, Mr. Sempleton.
He's changed.
He scolded her, but he seems happy.
This is a rooster, so he doesn't lay eggs.
I don't want you to break so many eggs ^v^ry day
S-Stop it!
Judy, please be careful.
Judy! Are you all right?
I'm so sorry.
Where should I put this?
Say, Amasai, is there anything I can help with?
Oh no, I'm fine.
I don't need any help
Judy!
What's there?
That's great!
When Jervie botchan was here we caught many rats.
This is the 25th child.
Botchan was good at catching them.
Now, wont you try it too?
What? Me?
All right
Slowly, gently
Nooooo!
Hey! Don't fight!
You don't let anyone else drink from your mother!
I know!
I have the perfect name for you.
You're Julia.
Oh, how kind
You're Sadie.
You were born In the forest, weren't you?
call you Silvia.
Looking at it this way, everyone has their own personality
Oh my...
Come on! Oo your best!
II support you!
Hey! Leave him alone*
Oo your best!
I guess I have no choice.
Hey, Julia!
Judy!
Leave them alone.
But that calf wont let the other one drink milk.
If this keeps up, that calf might die.
It'll be all right.
Shell be able to drink some soon.
You should leave her alone.
#unrecognized text#
That calf's mother died.
She wants to be with the other cows, but.
Her mother died?
You're Judy.
Oo your best!
What's wrong, Judy
Judy.
Because she doesn't have a mother, if you treat her differently from the other calves
shell become weak.
Shell become weak?
That's right
When they are born, they grow up among other calves
and they need to fight for themselves.
Now, lets have lunch.
You must be hungry.
#unrecognized text#
I heard that an orphaned calf will become weak if it is treated differently from the other calves
Even though I am an orphan
Daddy Long Legs sent me to such a lovely farm for summer vacation.
Will I become a weak person if I keep being pampered like this?
Hold on a minute.
Why does Oaddy Long Legs' secretary, Gniggs-san
know about Lock Willow Farm?
This used to be Pendleton sans house.
Then, does Pendleton san know 6riggs san.
Wait. Oo Mr. and Mrs. Sempleton also know him?
Mrs. Sempleton!
#unrecognized text#
If I ask them if Griggs san knows Oaddy Long Legs
have to tell them that I'm an orphan.
#unrecognized text#
If I do that, Pendleton san will know that Hm an orphan
I cant say it
Judy!
Oo your best, Judy!
That's it, Judy!
All right!
Your tongue's rough! Cut it out!
That's good, Judy.
Mrs. Semplctoa
You're a kind girl, Judy
You re exactly like Jervie-botchan
Really?
Because you're kind to everyone and you Kurt yburself all the time.
Dear Daddy Long Legs
thank you very much for such a lovely summer vacation.
I felt free in this Lock Willow Farm, with the earth and sky
And I felt what it was like for Jervie-botchan to play everywhere and get hurt.
When I grow up, I might be able to become a fine person like Pendleton-san.
The atmosphere here is natural.
From Judy Abbott, at Lock Willow Farm.
When we became second year students
Julia studied more, and Sallie is looking for a goal.
At that time, nominated by everyone Sadie runs the election race!
Next episode: Sallies courageous challenge!
Please look forward to it!
