AKAGE NO ANNE

A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte

Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me

To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me

Anne Rescues Minnie May
Marilla pessimistically expected more trouble
since Anne had again begun to go to school.
But none developed.
Maybe because now she sits with Minnie Andrews, since she can't be with Diana.
And she was determined not to be outdone in any class by Gilbert Blythe.
So she flung herself into her studies heart and soul.
In the month of December,
Anne and Gilbert were both promoted into the fifth class
where was Diana and other friends.
All things great are wound up with all things little.
It might not seem that the decision of a certain Canadian Premier to include
Prince Edward Island in a political tour could have much
or anything to do with the fortunes of little Anne Shirley at Green Gables.
But it had.
Rachel's husband will drive,
and this might be my only chance to see a real live Premier.
Well now, don't worry and just go.
Then, I'll be back around noon tomorrow.
I'm counting on you, Anne.
Have a nice trip.
Thereby Marilla and red-hot politician Mrs. Rachel Lynde
set off for Charlottetown thirty miles away.
Hence, while they were enjoying themselves hugely at the mass meeting,
Anne and Matthew had the cheerful kitchen all to themselves.
In order to win against Gilbert Blythe in tomorrow's test,
Anne studied with grim determination.
And Matthew nodded over a FARMERS' ADVOCATE on the sofa.
Matthew, did you ever study geometry when you went to school?
W-Well now, no, I didn't.
I wish you had,
because then you'd be able to sympathize with me.
It is casting a cloud over my whole life.
I'm such a dunce at it, Matthew.
Well now, I dunno. I guess you're all right at anything.
Mr. Phillips told me last week in Blair's store at Carmody
that you was the smartest scholar in school and was making rapid progress.
There's them as runs down Teddy Phillips and says he ain't much of a teacher,
but I guess he's all right.
But, Mr. Phillips goes up to see Prissy nearly every evening.
He says it is to help her with her lessons,
but Miranda Sloane is studying for Queen's too, and she's not very smart.
So I think she needed help a lot more than Prissy.
Well now.
I wonder what is Marilla doing now.
Mrs. Lynde says if women were allowed to vote we would soon see a blessed change.
What way do you vote, Matthew?
Conservative.
Then I'm Conservative too.
Because Gil...
Some of the boys in school are Grits.
I guess Mr. Phillips is a Grit too.
Because Prissy Andrews's father is one.
And Ruby Gillis says that when a man is courting
he always has to agree with the girl's mother in religion and her father in politics.
Is that true?
Well now, I dunno.
Did you ever go courting, Matthew?
Well now, no, I don't remember.
It must be rather interesting.
Ruby Gillis says when she grows up she's going to have many beaus on the string
and have them all crazy about her.
But I'd rather have just one in his right mind.
Well, I must finish up my lessons.
I won't open the book Jane lent me until I'm through.
But it's a terrible temptation.
Even when I turn my back on it I can see it there just as plain.
I will lock the book in the jam closet in the living room.
You must NOT give me back the key until my lessons are done, Matthew.
Not even if I implore you on my bended knees.
It's ever so much easier to resist it if you can't get the key.
Anne!
Diana!?
Whatever is the matter, Diana?
Has your mother relented at last?
Oh, Anne, do come quick, Minnie May is awful sick!
She's got croup. Young Mary Joe says.
Croup?
Father and Mother are away to town and there's nobody to go for the doctor.
Minnie May is awful bad and Young Mary Joe doesn't know what to do!
Anne, I'm so scared!
How is Minnie May doing?
Is it really croup?
I don't know. But she can't breathe.
Matthew's gone to harness the sorrel mare to go to Carmody for the doctor.
I don't believe he'll find the doctor at Carmody.
I know that Dr. Blair went to town and I guess Dr. Spencer would go too.
If only Mrs. Lynde was around...
Don't cry, Diana!
I'm sure Matthew will find a doctor.
And I know exactly what to do for croup.
You forget that Mrs. Hammond had twins three times.
When you look after three pairs of twins you naturally get a lot of experience.
Look. We have a ipecac bottle. Come on now.
The snow in the wood way is too deep.
We'll have to go through Lover's Lane.
Will he find a doctor?
He will. Don't worry.
Anne, although sincerely sorry for Minnie May,
was far from being insensible to the romance of the situation
and to the sweetness of once more sharing that romance with a kindred spirit.
How is Minnie May?
Oh, Diana! It's serious! It's very serious!
Minnie May!
Minnie May, are you suffering?
Minnie, answer me!
No, Diana! She can't answer you now.
Minnie May has croup all right.
She's pretty bad, but I've seen them worse.
Minnie...
First we must have lots of hot water.
It doesn't have any water?
Mary Joe, you may put some wood in the stove.
I'm sorry, but you might have thought of this before.
Please fill two kettles full of water before lighting the fire.
Now, I'll undress Minnie May to let her breath easily.
Diana? Could you try to find some soft flannel cloths?
Yes!
Here. Drink this Minnie May.
Come on, it's delicious. Open you mouth.
Minnie May, please. Drink it.
Oh, Minnie May...
Oh, where is the doctor?
He couldn't find one in Carmody? He couldn't find one?
Calm down, Diana!
Mary Joe, open that window. It's too hot in here.
Just as Diana had worried,
all the doctors of Carmody had gone to Charlottetown.
So Matthew had to go all the way to Spencervale.
Anne, Minnie May is coughing hard.
Anne, Is she alright? Is she going to be alright?
Yes, I think so.
It was three o'clock when Matthew came with a doctor from Spencervale.
Doctor...
Don't worry. The pressing need for assistance has past.
Minnie May...
Thank goodness, Minnie May!
Thank goodness!
You gave her the right medicine.
I was awfully near giving up in despair.
I gave her every drop of ipecac in that bottle and when the last dose went down,
I said to myself...
This is the last lingering hope and I fear, tis a vain one.
But in about three minutes she coughed up the phlegm
and began to get better right away.
You must just imagine my relief, doctor, because I can't express it in words.
Yes, I know. You worked hard!
I'll handle the rest, you go rest.
Yes. Thank you, doctor!
Anne! Anne!
Thank you, Anne!
Oh, Matthew, isn't it a wonderful morning?
The world looks like something God had just imagined for His own pleasure.
I'm so glad Mrs. Hammond had three pairs of twins after all.
If she hadn't I mightn't have known what to do for Minnie May.
But, oh, I'm so sleepy.
I can't go to school.
I just know I couldn't keep my eyes open.
But I hate to stay home, for Gil...
No. Some of the others will get head of the class.
Well now, don't worry. I guess you'll manage all right.
You just go right to bed and have a good sleep.
That little redheaded girl Anne is as smart as they make 'em.
I tell you she saved that baby's life,
for it would have been too late by the time I got there.
She seems to have a skill and presence of mind wonderful in a child of her age.
I never saw anything like the eyes of her when she was explaining the case to me.
I'll be off then.
Thank you, Doctor.
No. You should thank that little girl.
Welcome home!
Did you see the Premier?
What did he look like Marilla?
Well, he never got to be Premier on account of his looks.
Well, I am going to get you some food.
I guess you're hungry.
I truly am hungry.
Matthew has been telling me about last night.
I must say it was fortunate you knew what to do.
I wouldn't have had any idea myself,
for I never saw a case of croup.
Mrs. Barry was here this afternoon.
She wanted to see you, but I wouldn't wake you up.
She says you saved Minnie May's life,
and she is very sorry she acted as she did.
She says she knows now you didn't mean to set Diana drunk,
and she hopes you'll forgive her and be good friends with Diana again.
You're to go over this evening if you like.
Oh, Marilla, can I go right now,
without washing my dishes?
I'll wash them when I come back,
but I cannot tie myself down to anything so unromantic
as dishwashing at this thrilling moment!
Yes, don't worry about the dishes, but you have to eat something.
Hey, Anne!
Anne!
I might as well call to the wind.
She's gone without a cap or wrap, It'll be a mercy if she doesn't catch her death of cold.
Namida ga koboretemo
Diana!
Anne!
Hitotsubu koboretemo
Ima ha kaze ga fuiteiru
Nobara no shigemi kara fuiteiru
Kagami wo mitara
Nobara to kaze ga utsutteiru
Namida ha mou kiete shimatte
If you love me as I love you,
nothing but death can part us two.
Diana.
I'm going to ask Mr. Phillips to let us sit together in school again.
I was thinking in doing the same.
It's the first time I'm making a taffy. Will it be all right?
Don't worry. We'll just have to pull now.
Come, pull!
This is fun!
Isn't it?
How is everything?
Hey!
Well, well.
Thank you, Mrs. Barry!
Goodbye! See you again tomorrow!
Good night, Anne!
Good night!
We had an elegant tea.
Mrs. Barry had the very best china set out, just as if I was real company.
I can't tell you what a thrill it gave me.
It made me feel that I've grown up!
I'm perfectly happy, yes, in spite of my red hair.
Just at present I have a soul above red hair.
You see before you a perfectly happy person, Marilla.
I know you went through much today,
but you have school tomorrow, rest early.
Yes. Good night, Marilla.
Diana invites Anne to the Debate Club Concert.
