Anne's diary
Anne of Green Gables Vol.25
A Letter for Diana
It had been four weeks since Anne got hurt because of a dare.
Besides school, it was even difficult for her to leave the house.
What are you doing? Dinner's long been ready.
Please, do let me alone for a while.
What's wrong? Your ankle is hurting again?
It's been four days, that Diana hasn't visited.
Marilla, what reason would you think
Diana has for not coming suddenly when she had been everyday after school?
She must have run out of time.
She will be here tomorrow.
Or does she already despise me?
Anne, you won't get an answer imagining.
Better run down and have dinner.
Diana must have made a better best friend than I.
Please, I really have no appetite.
Really!
Welcome back, dinner's ready.
I just went to Mrs. Lynde's,
Diana is...
What's wrong with Diana?
Right, I'll go find Diana now, and ask her why she hadn't turned up for 4 days.
And ask her why she hadn't turned up for 4 days.
Matthew, you mustn't let Anne know about this.
Well, yes.
If she finds out Diana has fallen ill in Charlottetown,
I don't know what else will happen!
Diana's ill?
Why did Diana go to Charlottetown? She never told Anne~
How would I have known?
If Anne asks, what should we say?
Diana, if I had but sprouted wings,
I would soar to your side this very moment.
The way I am now,
There's no way I could go to Charlottetown 30 miles away.
Diana, why did you fall ill?
Diana, please don't do that!
If you must know what happened to Diana,
You'd best be asking from the Barry's.
If you shouldn't return from Charlottetown...
Marilla, please, seek the answer out for me!
Marilla, you'd better not go~
Marilla, you'd better not go~!
Oh really! I know you're worried for Diana, but please do calm down.
It couldn't be some serious illness.
If it was, Mrs. Barry would be sure to inform you.
My dearest Diana:
Do you remember the first time we met?
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my best friend,
Diana Barry, as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my best friend,
Anne Shirley, as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
Do you remember the day we both vowed?
No matter how far the distance, I... I'll always be by your side.
I am your friend until death parts us.
Diana, I only had imaginative friends in the past.
I gave the one in the mirror the name of Katie Maurice.
The echo in the green valley behind the house Violetta.
But Katie Maurice and
Violetta were both friends of the past.
Because I've met you, my friend.
Will the happy days I get to spend with
Diana become mere fragments of the past?
Diana...
Diana, please work hard and get well soon!
Anne, lunch time~ Come down quickly!
I've been looking for you since just now,
At least have the courtesy to reply me!
Anne, what are you doing?
This child is really vexing!
I'd better go ask about Diana from the Barry's then.
Mrs. Barry~ Mrs. Barry~
Anne, I'll put the food here,
If you don't eat it
Soon the soup will grow cold.
With my mood now, I shall not eat a thing.
If you don't, you would fall ill as well.
I would bear any pain, if it was for Diana.
Anne, I won't leave until you eat then.
Morning Morning~
Now, it's the autumn for peaches and pears,
Hear the cries of birds from afar,
as snow gathers on mountaintops,
life vanishes.
As snow gathers on mountaintops,
life vanishes.
A wonderful poem, I'm so touched.
As snow gathers on mountaintops,
life vanishes.
Anne~
Although we sometimes need to live free and easy,
But your pronunciation is terrible.
Everyone look!
How could you listen to classes like this?
The teacher is always like this.
Anne, don't mind that just now
You've always been by my side since I started school in Avonlea.
You're my most precious best friend.
Carrots~ Carrots~
Gilbert Blythe, I hate you!
How dare you!
Anne~!
Anne, how could you do that?
I won't ever forgive Gilbert Blythe!
You mustn't mind Gilbert making fun of your hair.
Why, he makes fun of all the girls.
He's called me a crow a dozen times.
No matter when, you'd cheer me up.
But now, I can't do a thing for you.
How could a best friend be so?!
And, Anne Shirley!
Since you seem to be
So fond of the boys' company
We shall indulge your taste for it this afternoon.
Take those flowers out of your hair and sit with Gilbert Blythe.
What are you taking all those things home for?
I am not coming back to school any more.
Will Marilla let you stay home?
She'll have to. I'll NEVER go to school to that man again.
Oh, Anne! I do think you are being mean. What shall I do?
Mr. Phillips will make me sit with that horrid Gertie Pye.
Do come back, Anne.
I'd do almost anything in the world for you, Diana.
I'd let myself be torn limb from limb if it would do you any good.
But I can't do this.
Right, I never once acceded to any of your requests.
When I think of you, my heart feels pierced.
Diana, forgive me!
Please forgive me!
And you never held grudges,
visiting me every day after school
And telling me about what is happening.
The biggest thing that happened to us was when I was absent from school.
As I become happy, there is always something awful around the corner.
I felt like I was in the depths of despair.
Would there ever be a more cruel punishment..
than not being able to communicate..
with your best friend next door?
Diana, what's wrong?
I'm - I'm awful sick. I - I must go right home.
That's enough.
It was Minnie May's illness which saved me from the depths of despair.
In the end, it helped me out of misery.
I never dreamt that my experience with the 3 twins would be of use here.
But besides saving Minnie May,
Even your mother changed her opinion of me.
If you mother hadn't,
My life would have continued to be in the black abyss of despair.
Don't worry, she's past the critical period.
Minnie May!
Minnie May! Oh great,
We stay together facing so many things
Nothing could tear us apart...
How did you fall ill?
And at this time when my foot is unwell~
How am I to go 30 miles to Charlottetown?
If this concerns whether I can still see you from now on...
Marilla, please don't bother about me.
Let me have a good weep.
Diana, why have you left me alone?
Diana~~
Anne, what are you writing?
Diana?
Aren't you sick?
I just got back from Charlottetown.
Aunt Josephine was ill so I went to visit her.
But her illness isn't serious.
Diana!
I thought you won't ever come back!
I wouldn't have wanted to live if that was the case.
Anne, really!
Although you're still in bandages, you can get off bed already?
Really!
Anne, this is great.
Diana, thank you.
Diana came back from Charlottetown just in time.
Right!
Nearing a certain day of autumn,
Anne heard a wonderful plan from Miss Stacy.
