Vol.8 Anne's impressions of Sunday School
Please come in~
Why are you so happy?
Well~
The clothes I gave?
Because it's Sunday tomorrow.
Marilla's been doing who-knows-what these few days when she's free,
and sewing sounds keep coming out.
I wanted to give you a surprise~
Thank you, Marilla~
You like it?
Well?
I'll imagine that I like them.
I don't want you to imagine it.
Oh, I can see you don't like the dresses!
What is the matter with them? Aren't they neat and clean and new?
Right~
Then why don't you like them?
They're-they're not-pretty...
Pretty!
I didn't trouble my head about getting pretty dresses for you.
I don't believe in pampering vanity, Anne,
I'll tell you that right off.
They are good, sensible, and serviceable dresses without any frills or furbelows
and they're all you'll get this summer.
The brown gingham and the blue print will do you for school.
The sateen is for church and Sunday school.
I'll expect you to keep them neat and clean
and not to tear them.
I should think you'd be grateful to get most anything
after those skimpy wincey things you've been wearing.
Oh, I AM grateful.
But I'd be ever so much grateful if - if you'd made
just one of them with puffed sleeves.
Puffed sleeves are so fashionable now.
It'd give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves.
Well, you'll have to do without your thrill.
I hadn't any material to waste on puffed sleeves.
I think they are ridiculous looking things anyhow.
I prefer the plain, sensible ones.
But I'd rather look ridiculous when everybody else does
than plain and sensible all by myself.
Trust you for that!
Well, hang those dresses carefully up in your closet,
and then sit down and learn the Sunday school lesson.
The way you are, you'll be imagining about
puffed sleeves and forgetting to learn again.
Definitely.
I don't want you to disgrace me
if you cannot answer tomorrow's Sunday lessons.
I did hope there would be a white one with puffed sleeves.
I prayed for one, but I didn't suppose
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
God would have time to bother about a little orphan girl's dress.
I understand Marilla's thoughts,
but well, fortunately I can imagine that one of them is of snow-white muslin
with lovely lace frills and three-puffed sleeves.
Good morning~
Head still hurts?
Don't worry for me.
But Anne, you have to go for classes today.
I should bring you to your first lesson,
but I didn't count on my sickness worsening.
What about Matthew?
Well... Well...
Brother hasn't gone to church for years.
He's always praying on the fields.
Right~ Anne shouldn't go alone,
why not let her stay at home?
Matthew Cuthbert what are you saying?
No~ She must go!
Although being alone is frightening, but let me go.
Maybe I can meet up with new friends!
Any problems?
The clothes are matching~
Here's a cent for collection.
Go to Mrs. Lynde, she should be waiting.
Don't stare at people and don't fidget.
Right, I almost forgot.
Bring a white box from the living room.
I'll prepare a new hat for you.
Hat?
Very pretty~
What happened to Marilla?
I told her there was a Women's Meet today,
and told her not to be late!
Good morning~
Thank you~
It's done~
Not even a decorative lace, it looks too simple.
I've become a wind blowing towards the church.
Mrs. Lynde~ Mrs. Lynde~
She's the girl Miss Cuthbert adopted.
She came from the asylum it seems~
Look at that red hair, I hear her temper was terrible~
When she rebuked Mrs. Lynde?
No, she did it on purpose, because her temper is as bad as her hair.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
But according to Jeth, she often talks to the trees and flowers.
Very strange~
She could be bonkers up there~
You can tell by looking at her hat.
Full of wild flowers and grass.
You see her freckles?
That's right.
How could there be so many?
Almighty God, your love is...
limitless.
Your road is Truth.
Without any common sense
How rude.
What a strange person
God~ We should not be afraid, we should praise the Almighty.
Because you are the only existence on this earth,
and the only Truth.
We walk in the way you guide us in.
Almighty God~ We should praise...
Praise God~
You know how to cook?
What about sewing?
A little.
Embroidery?
Knitting?
My sister knows everything~
I'm home, Bonny
Are you lonely by yourself?
Anne, welcome back~
Marilla, are you all right now?
How did you like Sunday school?
I didn't like it a bit. It was horrid.
Anne Shirley!
I behaved well, just as you told me.
Mrs. Lynde was gone, but I went right on myself.
I went into the church, with a lot of other little girls.
Mr. Bell made an awfully long prayer. I'd have been dreadfully tired
before he got through if I hadn't been sitting by that window.
But it looked right out on the Lake of Shining Waters,
so I just gazed at that and imagined all sorts of splendid things.
You shouldn't have done anything of the sort. You'd have listened to Mr. Bell
But he wasn't talking to me. He was talking to God.
I said a short prayer myself while at this time.
There was long row of white birches hanging over the lake and the
sunshine fell down through them, down, deep into the water, like a dream.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
It gave me a thrill and I said 'Thank you for it, God,' two or three times.
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
Not out loud, I hope.
Oh, no, just under my breath.
I behave myself rather well.
Really~ Then the class?
Here were nine other girls in it.
They all had puffed sleeves.
I tried to imagine mine were puffed, too,
but I couldn't.
Why couldn't I?
It was easy to imagine they were puffed when I was alone in the east gable,
but it was awfully hard among the others who had really truly puffs.
You shouldn't have been thinking about your sleeves in Sunday school.
You should have been attending to the lesson. I hope you knew it.
I answered a lot of questions. Miss Rogerson
asked ever so many. I don't think it was fair for her to do all the asking.
There were lots I wanted to ask her.
Anne, welcome back~
I'm back~
Did you know any new friends?
How could I have.
What happened?
Didn't you go to make friends?
I was unsuccessful.
Of course, friends don't come just like that.
You both are not just kindred, you even have personality similarities.
What a nagging old lady.
I'd better turn in.
I heard you were unwell.
I'm much better now, thank you for visiting.
Marilla, it's like this...
That child did something strange again, but I'm sure you were unaware!
Strange? What did Anne do this time?
Her hat was rigged out ridiculous with roses and buttercups.
I could not help
but feel such amusement.
Anne, did you do that?
Oh. I know pink and yellow aren't becoming to me.
Becoming fiddlesticks!
It was putting flowers on your hat at all,
no matter what color they were, that was ridiculous.
I don't see why it's any more ridiculous to wear flowers
on your hat than on your dress.
Lots of little girls had bouquets pinned on their dresses.
What's the difference?
Don't answer me back like that, Anne.
It was very silly of you to do such a thing. Mrs. Rachel says people
- Çevrilmemiş altyazı -
talked about it something dreadful. Of course they would think
I had no better sense than to let you go decked out like that.
You truly know how to put me to a trial.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I never thought it would put you to a trial.
The roses and buttercups were so sweet and pretty
I thought they'd look lovely on my hat.
Lots of the little girls had artificial flowers on their hats.
I'm afraid I'm going to be
a dreadful trial to you.
Maybe you'd better send me back to the asylum.
That would be terrible; most likely I would go into consumption;
I'm so thin as it is, you see.
But that would be better than being a trial to you.
Anne, be quiet!
What nonsense is that?
I don't want to send you back to the asylum, I'm sure.
Anne, wait for a while~
Marilla, Jeth told me that
Diana's coming back tomorrow.
Go tell Anne this news~
Brother don't be such a busybody~
But~ I feel that child would get along well with Anne...
Knowing a friend like Diana, would boost Anne's self-confidence.
