Anne of Green Gables
Vol.13 Anne Goes to School
Today's weather is fine~
Right~
Mrs. Lynde has started yesterday.
Is that so~ Is that child still asleep?
It's still too early for school now.
Right~ Too early~
I hope she can concentrate on the lessons~
Right~ But don't be too worried.
Although nothing should go wrong if she's with Diana,
but her character is too weird.
Speaking of school, we don't even know what's going on inside.
Right~ But don't be too worried.
If only that was true.
I'm leaving
I'm going to school from today~
Matthew, good morning~ I'm going to school from today~
Right~ Work hard~~
Don't worry~ Have a safe journey~~
Yes
What a splendid day!
Morning, Diana~
Morning, Marilla~
Why are you up so early?
Because there's school today~
I woke up when Matthew and Jerry were leaving~
We're going to harvest from now on, so they'll be up especially early.
You could have slept a while more.
No problem, let me help you~
You could take that portion then, I'll go milk the cows.
OK
It's all done.
If only you were like this everyday, I wouldn't be having such a hard life~
I want to be like this everyday too~
Is that my dinner basket?
Right~
How wonderful~ I can bring a dinner basket to school.
Although I did it before at Mrs. Thomas',
but it was hard bread every time.
Could I see what was inside?
I hardly see you up so early,
so don't waste time and eat your breakfast
Even if you have school, the dishes are still your duty.
I know~
Anne~!
Yes...
I will be meeting Diana on the bridge
on Lover's Lane.
Lover's Lane?
The lane behind the field
Diana and I are reading a magnificent book and there's a Lover's Lane in it.
So we want to have one, too.
It's a pretty name, don't you think?
So romantic!
We can't imagine the lovers into it, you know.
I like that lane because-
...you can think out loud there
without people calling you crazy.
Eh~~ Anne, don't talk like this when you're having classes~
Don't worry~
Diana will be waiting if you don't go out now~
It's already so late?
I'm off~
And don't throw a tantrum no matter what happens.
Don't worry~
Snow Queen, I'm off~
Be careful that you should fall~
I know~
Anne Shirley of Green Gables~
Diana~!
You're early? You waited long?
Diana, I only just came.
Is it this side?
Right~
Anne, could we rest for a while?
We aren't in a rush for time.
Because...
Anne, it's really not a rush~
Right~ yeah~
Yeah~~
You seem very nervous~
No~~ I often run in the asylum.
No wonder I couldn't catch up with you~
What a splendid day!
Isn't it good just to be alive on a day like this?
I pity the people who aren't born yet for missing it.
They may have good days, of course,
but they can never have this one.
And it's more splendid still to have such a lovely way to go to school by,
Isn't it?
It's a lot nicer than going round by the road; that is so dusty and hot.
Look over there~
There would be a lot of beautiful fresh flowers
amongst those! Withered trees in spring.
Really so much?
So many you wouldn't have a place to stand.
Diana~~
Diana, why don't we call that place Violet Vale?
Violet Vale?
Right~ Although it has no flowers now,
we can imagine it has a lot of violet.
Right~ This is wonderful~ But this isn't a valley~
Isn't it better to have a more beautiful name?
And we can imagine that it was a valley!
That's right~
After this we'll get back to the main road,
and reach school soon.
A road filled with birches~
Let me try to change the name of this place~
Diana, all right~~
Then... then... why not call it Birth Path?
Um~
That's the place~
That's school.
Right.
Over here~
Morning~
Mor... ning...
I put the milk here to cool till noon.
You can put it beside mine.
It's a really good idea.
Morning~
Tillie, good morning~
Anne, good morning~
Tillie, good morning~
Morning~
Diana, good morning~
Ruby, good morning~
My seat is here,
you can sit beside me~
This seat has been always empty,
so I think Teacher Philips wouldn't mind.
It's wonderful I can sit beside Diana~
Is the teacher someone scary?
Um~ But...
Teacher is coming
Good morning~
Prissy is already an adult,
and the teacher is dead gone on her.
Good morning everyone~
Good morning teacher~
Then...
Anne Shirley.
You must be Anne Shirley from the orphan asylum?
Right~ I come from Green Gables~
You should be grade 5 at 11,
but where did you study until at the asylum?
The middle of the 4th textbook.
Oh? Then you can go to fourth grade~
It doesn't matter, you can sit there first~
Today is the start of the new semester,
as usual, the boys don't really turn up~
Sophia Sloane,
why did your younger brother not turn up?
Charlie has gone to help in the work~
I know that tool.
I mean to say, I think the request for boys to come to school
has been thoroughly forgotten.
Everybody's so busy, how could that happen.
Even if it's a busy time for agriculture,
you have to come to school.
We'll forget about this~
The term officially begins~
Aim forward!
Roma Ganbyle, you haven't knocked that habit
of not paying attention off yet have you?
Yes~
Now it's the season for peaches and pears.
Hear the cries of birds from afar,
the gathering of snow on mountaintops.
Life is slowly vanishing
as the mountains gather snow.
Wonder poem, I feel so touched~
Life slowly vanishes
as the mountains gather snow.
Anne~
Anne Shirley, you seem to be rather free and easy~
No~ Because what the teacher said was too good, so...
Although there should be time for relaxation,
but your sound is too terrible~
You seem to have read prose like this before?
Have you?
Then what about your homework?
Wrong~ You don't understand~
Because nobody taught me the right way.
Anne Shirley,
if this is the fruit of your labour I can bear with it.
Everybody look~!
How could you sit in for lessons like this?
Anne Shirley, do this one more time~
Prissy, we'll practice Canada's history~
Anne, don't mind that just now,
the teacher's always been like that~
Right~
Thank you~ But I can't help it,
my maths has always been bad~
Those fellow, letting them do this~
Quiet~
If you don't, you'll be the one at a loss~
This is Anne's first time at a school, be compassionate to her~
Right~ He was too much~
This is for you~ I'll always be behind you~
Ruby, thank you~
You can wear this for the whole afternoon~
It's a ring made with beads~
Thank you,
to show my gratitude, I'll recite that poem for everyone~
Now, it's the season for peach and pears~~
Hear the cries of birds from afar~~
Life slowly vanishes as the mountains gather snow.
Wonderful~~ Anne you're great~~
Everybody let's sing Nelly of Hazel Dell together~
Of course~
Good bye~~
See you tomorrow~~
I'm home~
Welcome home~ How was school?
I think I'm going to like school here.
That's great~
I don't think much of the master, though.
He's all the time curling his moustache and making eyes at Prissy Andrews.
Prissy is grown up, you know.
She's sixteen and studying to go to the Queen's Academy next year.
She sits in the long seat at the back and he sits there, too,
most of the time-to explain her lessons, he says.
But Ruby Gillis says
she saw him writing something on her slate
and when Prissy read it she blushed as red as a beet and giggled;
and she doesn't believe it had anything to do with the lesson.
Anne Shirley, don't let me hear you talking about teacher in that way again
You don't go to school to criticize the master.
I guess he can teach YOU something,
and it's your business to learn.
But Mr. Philips was terrible, he...
Not a word more~
Did you keep the rules at school?
Of course~ And everyone is friendly,
I made many friends.
Because of Diana we got into the flow quickly.
We even sang Nelly of Hazel Dell together at lunch.
I'm so glad Diana taught me this~
How were the lessons?
I'm dreadfully far behind the others.
They're all in the fifth book
and I'm only in the fourth.
It's kind of a disgrace.
My maths was worse.
But no matter what, Mr. Philips was too...
So I've decided to catch up.
Right~ One must work hard to learn.
And oh, Marilla,
Jane Andrews told me that
Minnie told her that she heard Prissy Andrews tell Sara Gillis
that I had a very pretty nose.
Marilla, that is the first compliment I have ever had
and you can't imagine how strange it felt.
Marilla, have I really a pretty nose?
I know you'll tell me the truth.
Your nose is well enough.
But hurry up and change, then help me with dinner!
Matthew and the boy will be back all hungry soon.
Yes~ I'll change right away.
This way, there won't be any problems.
I'll like school~
The suave and handsome Gilbert Blythe is back at school.
