Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Properly Horrified
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
I'm going to keep working!
Matthew, you've become lazier at work lately.
Is that so? Am I not as before?
Be careful!!
Marilla, after work, can I go out to play?
Um! I'll give you about 30 minutes.
Don't play so hard that you forget to return!
No problem...
Anne had been at 'Green Gables' for two weeks...
and the news that Matthew and Marilla had adopted a girl...
had spread all over Avonlea.
How it must tire you.
Yes! To think someone who didn't get ill like me would fall ill for 2 weeks...
that flu is not to be underestimated.
Oh yes, Marilla. I've heard about your adoption...
and am properly surprised.
I don't suppose you are any more surprised than I am myself.
I'm getting over my surprise now.
It was too bad there was such a mistake. Couldn't you have sent her back?
I suppose we could, but we decided not to.
Matthew took a fancy to her.
But Marilla...
And I must say I like her myself.
Although I admit she has her faults.
The house seems a different place already.
She's a real bright little thing.
Wait!
Maybe it's a great responsibility you've taken on yourself.
Especially when you've never had any experience with children.
You don't know much about her or her real disposition, I suppose.
But I don't want to discourage you, I'm sure, Marilla.
I'm not feeling discouraged.
When I make up my mind to do a thing, it stays made up.
Aye! Why are you so stubborn.
Let me call her in first!
She's here?
Anne~ Anne~ Come home~
Yes~
Marilla, is there anything the matter?
Well, they didn't pick you for your looks, that's sure and certain.
She's terrible skinny and homely, Marilla.
Come here, child, and let me have a look at you.
Lawful heart, did any one ever see such freckles?
And hair as red as carrots!
Come here, child, I say.
I hate you! I hate you!! I hate you so much!!
How dare you call me skinny and ugly?
How dare you say I'm freckled and redheaded?
You are a rude, impolite, unfeeling woman!
Anne~!
How dare you say such things about me?
How would you like to be told that you are fat and clumsy...
and probably hadn't a spark of imagination in you?
I don't care if I do hurt your feelings, I hope I do!
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
You hurt mine worse than they were ever before...
even by Mrs. Thomas' intoxicated husband.
And I'll NEVER forgive you for it, never, never!
Did anybody ever see such a temper!
Anne go to your room and stay there until I come up.
How would you bring up such a child?
Sorry!
But you shouldn't have twitted her about her looks, Mrs. Lynde.
Marilla Cuthbert, did you not just see that terrible temper?
No. She's been very naughty and I'll have to give her a talking to about it.
But we must make allowances for her. She's never been taught what is right.
And you were too hard on her, Mrs. Lynde.
I see!
I'll have to be very careful what I say after this, Marilla.
In case that I would hurt this very important for you and unidentified girl.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
Oh, no, I'm not vexed-don't worry.
I'm too sorry for you now.
You'll have your own troubles with that child.
This is from someone who's brought up ten children and buried two.
You need strict measures...
on a child like that.
Sorry for wasting all that time.
You can't expect me...
to visit here again in a hurry...
if I'm liable to be flown at and insulted in such a fashion.
It's something new in my experience.
Anne~
Anne!
Get off that bed this minute and listen to what I have to say to you.
This is a nice way for you to behave.
Anne! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
She hadn't any right to call me ugly and redheaded.
You hadn't any right to talk the way you did either.
I was ashamed of you.
I don't know why you should lose your temper like that...
just because Mrs. Lynde said you were red-haired and homely.
You say it yourself often enough.
Such a difference between saying a thing yourself and hearing from the others?
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
You may know a thing is so, but you can't help hoping others don't think so.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
When she said those things...
something just rose right up in me and choked me.
I had to fly out at her.
But you teased her very much.
Mrs. Lynde will have a nice story to tell about you everywhere.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
Just imagine how you would feel if somebody told you to your face...
that you were skinny and ugly.
What a pity, she is such a dark, homely little thing.
Softer~ Marilla is listening!
I don't say I think Mrs. Lynde was right in saying what she did to you.
But you shouldn't speak like that to elders and guests.
You must go to her...
and tell her you are very sorry for your bad temper and ask her to forgive you.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
I can never do that.
You can punish me in any way you like, Marilla.
You can shut me up in a dark, damp dungeon inhabited by snakes and toads
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
and feed me only on bread and water. But I cannot apologize to Mrs. Lynde.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
We're not in the habit of shutting people up in dark damp dungeons.
You'll stay in your room until you're willing to apologize to Mrs. Lynde.
I shall have to stay here forever then...
because I can't tell Mrs. Lynde I'm sorry.
How can I? I'm NOT sorry.
I'm sorry I've vexed you...
but I'm GLAD I told her just what I did.
I can't say I'm sorry when I'm not, can I?
I can't even IMAGINE I'm sorry.
Perhaps your imagination will be in better working order by the morning.
You'll have the night to think over your conduct in.
You said you would try to be a very good girl if we kept you at Green Gables,
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
but I must say it hasn't seemed very much like it this evening.
But Anne was not entirely at fault?
It's about time someone shook that busybody Mrs. Lynde around.
Matthew Cuthbert, I'm astonished at you.
You know that Anne's behaviour was dreadful, and yet you take her part!
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
The next thing you'll say is that she oughtn't to be punished at all!
Well now... no... not exactly...
I reckon she ought to be punished. But don't be too hard on her, Marilla.
That's why she'll stay up there until she's willing to apologize to Mrs. Lynde
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
Why are girls all like this?
What did you say?
I said nothing.
I don't know how long are you to be stubborn until, but you can't not eat!
You didn't eat your breakfast or lunch.
I have no appetite.
As you wish, but don't think I'll spare you because of this.
Of course.
I am prepared to stay here all my life.
Although I don't believe what Mrs. Lynde says...
but Anne's temper truly vexes me.
Have to get the cow back.
Anne~!
Anne, how are you?
Matthew, it's you!
Pretty well.
I imagine a good deal...
and that helps to pass the time.
Of course, it's rather lonesome.
But then, I may as well get used to that.
Well now, Anne, don't you think you'd better do it and have it over with?
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
Marilla's a dreadfully determined woman, dreadfully determined, Anne.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
Do you mean apologize to Mrs. Lynde?
Yes, apologize, that's the very word.
Just smooth it over so to speak. That's what I was trying to get at.
I suppose I could do it to oblige you.
I didn't feel sorry originally.
I AM sorry now.
I wasn't a bit sorry last night. I was mad clear through.
I woke up three times...
and I was just furious every time.
But this morning it was over.
Like a balloon without air.
But I just couldn't think of going and telling Mrs. Lynde so.
It would be so humiliating.
I made up my mind I'd stay shut up here forever rather than do that.
But I would go for Uncle.
If Uncle really wants me to.
Well now, of course I do.
It's terrible lonesome downstairs without you.
Very well.
I'll tell Marilla as soon as she comes in I've repented.
That's right, that's right, Anne.
But don't tell Marilla I said anything about it.
Wild horses won't drag the secret from me.
Matthew, what are you doing here?
I just came back. Right, I have to sow the seeds.
Why was he so flustered?
Marilla~
Well?
I'm sorry I lost my temper yesterday.
I'm willing to go and tell Mrs. Lynde so.
Very well.
Arrange your hair, and we'll be off!
What are you thinking?
I'm imagining out what I must say to Mrs. Lynde.
But your form doesn't seem to suggest so?
Oh, Mrs. Lynde, I am so extremely sorry.
I could never express all my sorrow, no...
not if I used up a whole dictionary.
I behaved terribly to you.
I've disgraced the dear friends, Matthew and Marilla...
who have let me stay at Green Gables...
although I'm not a boy.
I'm a dreadfully wicked and ungrateful girl...
and I deserve to be punished and cast out by respectable people forever.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
It was wicked of me to fly into a temper...
because you told me the truth.
Every word you said was true.
My hair is red and I'm freckled and skinny and ugly.
What I said to you was true, too...
but I shouldn't have said it.
Oh, Mrs. Lynde, please, please, forgive me.
If you refuse, it will be a lifelong sorrow on me.
Won't you put this suffering...
on a poor little alone orphan girl.
Would you, even if she had a dreadful temper?
Oh, I am sure you wouldn't.
Please say you forgive me, Mrs. Lynde.
There, there, get up, child.
Of course I forgive you.
I was a little too hard on you, too. Don't you mind me.
I knew a girl once whose hair was as red as yours when she was young...
but when she grew up, it darkened to a real handsome auburn.
I wouldn't be a mite surprised if yours did, too.
Oh, Mrs. Lynde! You have given me a hope.
Oh, I could endure anything if I only thought...
my hair would be a handsome auburn when I grew up.
It would be so much easier to be good if one's hair...
was a handsome auburn, don't you think?
I shall always feel that you are a benefactor.
It is a good thing to face your mistake bravely.
You're not bad compared to the sly and cunning children.
Marilla, don't you think?
The way she is...
I don't need to worry about your bringing up the child anymore.
I apologized pretty well, didn't I?
You did it thoroughly, all right enough.
I thought since I had to do it, I might as well do it thoroughly.
Do you suppose my hair will really be a handsome auburn when I grow up?
You shouldn't think so much about your looks, Anne.
I'm afraid you are a very vain little girl.
How can I be vain when I know I'm homely?
I just love pretty things.
Handsome is as handsome does.
I've had that said to me before, but I have my doubts about it.
It's lovely to be going home and know it's home.
No place ever seemed like home.
Oh, Marilla, I'm so happy.
Something warm and pleasant welled up in Marilla's heart
at touch of that thin little hand in her own...
a throb of the maternity she had missed, perhaps.
Sunday, Marilla got Anne to the church.
