AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure
Tsureteyuku no ne
Anne of Green Gables
For reasons best known to herself...
Marilla did not tell Anne that she was to stay at Green Gables, until the next afternoon.
During the forenoon she kept Anne busy with various tasks,
and watched over her with a keen eye while she did them.
By noon...
She had concluded that Anne was smart and obedient, willing to work and quick to learn.
Her most serious shortcoming seemed to be a tendency to fall into daydreams
in the middle of a task and forget all about it,
until such time as she was sharply recalled to earth by a reprimand or a catastrophe.
Oh, please, Miss Cuthbert,
won't you tell me if you are going to send me away or not?
I've tried to be patient all the morning,
but I really cannot bear not knowing any longer.
You haven't scalded the dishcloth in clean hot water as I told you to do.
Just go and do it before you ask any more questions.
Well, I suppose I might as well tell you.
We have decided to keep you.
That is, if you will try to be a good little girl and show yourself grateful.
Why, whatever is the matter?
I'm crying.
I can't think why.
I'm glad as glad can be.
Oh, glad doesn't seem the right word at all.
I was glad about the White Way and the cherry blossoms...
But this!
Oh, it's something more than glad.
I'm so happy.
I'll try to be so good.
It will be uphill work.
However, I'll do my very best.
But can you tell me why I'm crying?
I suppose it's because you're all excited and worked up.
Sit down on that chair and try to calm yourself.
I'm afraid you both cry and laugh far too easily.
Yes, you can stay here,
and we will try to do right by you.
Welcome!
You must go to school,
Anne! Come out and play!
but it's only a fortnight till vacation so it isn't worth while
Come out and play!
for you to go before it opens again in September.
welcome! Anne, come out!
Anne! come out and play! Welcome!
Where are you going?
I'm going to say hello to Snow Queen, and tell it I'm staying here.
Wait!
I'll be back soon!
Good afternoon, Snow Queen!
Good afternoon, all trees and friends of the forest!
Good afternoon!
Everyone, I'm very pleased to meet all of you!
Anne!

Mr. Cuthbert! Mr. Cuthbert!
Mr. Cuthbert, I can stay in Green Gables now!
Miss Cuthbert...
Miss Cuthbert decided to let me stay.
Well now, well now.
Mr. Chuthbert, all the words you told me on the carriage came true.
Mr. Cuthbert, I feel like I'm dreaming.
Well now!
It's not a dream! It's not a dream!
You're right Anne. This isn't a dream. You're Anne of Green gables now.
Mr. Cuthbert!
Thank you, Mr. Cuthbert.
Anne!
Where did she go?
She said she would be back soon.
We have to be stricter on her.
Well, I can't blame her. She had hoped to live a life like this.
Can I pluck it?
Of course.
I'll put it in a vase as a decoration.
Where have you been until just now?
Didn't you hear me calling you?
I'm sorry Miss Cuthbert!
Because I was too happy, I went to greet the woods and the brook.
Everyone welcomed me so much...
and I forgot the time.
I understand how you feel,
but I have a lot to tell you.
You said you would be back soon.
If you can't be responsible for your words, you can't stay here.
Are your feet clean?
Yes!
Then help me set the tea after washing your hands.
Yes!
Miss Cuthbert. How should I address Mr. Cuthbert and you?
Shall I always say Miss. and Mr. Cuthbert?
Can I call you Aunt Marilla?
No, you'll call me just plain Marilla.
I'm not used to being called Miss. Cuthbert and it would make me nervous.
But It sounds awfully disrespectful to just say Marilla.
I guess there'll be nothing disrespectful in it if you're careful to speak respectfully.
I'd love to call you Aunt Marilla.
I've never had an aunt or any relation at all, not even a grandmother.
If I call you Aunt Marilla,
it would make me feel as if I really belonged to you.
Can't I call you Aunt Marilla?
No. I'm not your aunt and I don't believe in calling
people names that don't belong to them.
But we could imagine you were my aunt.
I couldn't.
Do you never imagine things different from what they really are?
No.
Oh, how much you miss!
I don't believe in imagining things different from what they really are.
Mr. Cuthbert, could I call you uncle Matthew?
Well now.
I guess you'd better call me Matthew.
Really?
Anne, after the tea, follow me to where our animals are.
There are cats there.
Oh! Cats? I want to see them!
No. After the tea you have to memorize your prayers.
There's to be no more of such praying as I heard last night.
I understand.
Since I'm staying here, I can see the cats anytime.
Well now, you're right.
Do you think that I shall ever have a bosom friend in Avonlea?
A... a what kind of friend?
A bosom friend... An intimate friend, you know...
A really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul.
I've dreamed of meeting her all my life.
So many of my loveliest dreams have come true all at once that perhaps
this one will, too.
Do you think it's possible?
Diana Barry lives over at Orchard Slope and she's about your age.
She's a very nice little girl
and perhaps she will be a playmate for you when she comes home.
She's visiting her aunt over at Carmody just now.
You'll have to be careful how you behave yourself, though.
Mrs. Barry is a very particular woman.
She won't let Diana play with any little girl who isn't nice and good.
What is Diana like?
Her hair isn't red, is it?
Oh, I hope not. It's bad enough to have red hair myself,
but I positively couldn't endure it in a bosom friend.
Diana is a very pretty little girl.
She has black eyes and hair, and rosy cheeks.
And she is good and smart, which is better than being pretty.
Oh, I'm so glad she's pretty.
Next to being beautiful oneself... and that's impossible in my case.
It would be best to have a beautiful bosom friend.
When I lived with Mrs. Thomas she had a bookcase with glass doors.
But there weren't any books in it.
One of the doors was broken by Mr. Thomas one night when he was intoxicated.
But the other was whole,
and I used to pretend that my reflection in it...
was another little girl who lived in it.
I called her Katie Maurice,
and we were very intimate.
I used to talk to her by the hour, especially on Sunday,
and tell her everything.
Katie was the comfort and consolation of my life.
We used to pretend that the bookcase was enchanted.
And that if I only knew the spell,
I could open the door and step right into the room where Katie Maurice lived.
And then Katie Maurice would have taken me by the hand,
and led me out into a wonderful place, all flowers and sunshine and fairies
and we would have lived there happy for ever after.
When I went to live with Mrs. Hammond,
it just broke my heart to leave Katie Maurice.
She felt it dreadfully, too.
I know she did,
for she was crying when she kissed me goodbye through the bookcase door.
Stop imagining those things.
I don't approve of such goings-on.
You seem to half believe your own imaginations.
It will be well for you to have
a real live friend to put such nonsense out of your head.
Now, go into the sitting room
and bring me out the illustrated card that's on the mantelpiece.
You must memorize your prayers well.
I suppose my prayer last night was very awkward
but, it was my first time.
You couldn't expect me to pray very well, could you?
I thought out a splendid prayer after I went to bed, just as I promised you I would.
It was very poetical.
But I couldn't remember one word when I woke up this morning.
And I'm afraid I'll never be able to think out another one as good.
listen to me, Anne.
When I tell you to do a thing I want you to obey me at once,
and not stand stock-still and discourse about it.
Now, go.
Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be Thy name.
May Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
I like this, It's beautiful.
Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be Thy name.
That is just like a line of music.
It looks like as long as you have someone to talk to, you won't stop.
Take the ilustrated card to your room to learn.
Oh, I know it pretty nearly all now... all but just the last line.
Just do as I tell you.
Remember to memorize it well.
Can I take the apple blossoms with me for company?
No. I dont want your room cluttered up with flowers.
You should have left them on the tree in the first place.
I did feel a little that way, too.
I kind of felt I shouldn't shorten their lovely lives by picking them.
I wouldn't want to be picked if I were an apple blossom.
But the temptation was irresistible.
What do you do when you meet with an irresistible temptation?
Anne. Did you hear me tell you to go to your room?
Forgive our sins, just as we have forgiven others...
My name is Cordelia.
Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald.
I am tall and regal, clad in a gown of trailing white lace
with a pearl cross on my breast and pearls in my hair.
My hair is of midnight darkness and my skin is a clear ivory pallor.
No, I can't make that seem real.
You're only Anne of Green Gables,
and I see you, just as you are looking now
whenever I try to imagine I'm the Lady Cordelia.
But it's a million times nicer to be
Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn't it?
I am Anne of Green Gables!
Anne of Green Gables!
Diana, I hope we can become bosom friends.
Anne was reprimanded by Mrs. Rachel Lynde, about her red hair.
Next of Anne of Green Gables:
Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Properly Horrified. Please watch.
