Dear Father,
Autumn at New Moon is a very peaceful season...
especially during the afternoons, when everyone is out.
I often look at the view room during these times.
I was told by Cousin Jimmy
that the room used to be my mother's.
It's currently locked, so no one can enter.
Emily, who lost her mother at a tender age,
yearns to able to look inside that room one day.
Mother...
I'm off, Mother.
Oh, you had a dream about your mother?
Right.
I don't remember anything after I woke up.
But it's clear that was a dream about my mother.
Yesterday I was looking at mother's room, the view room.
The view room, huh?
Say, what scenery can you see from that room?
I don't know; I haven't been inside.
It seems that Aunt Elizabeth has the room locked.
Locked?
No one has gone into that room for over a decade.
A decade?
Why does she want to keep that room locked?
Aunt Elizabeth was against my parents' marriage.
Even so, my mother left New Moon to marry my father.
Aunt Elizabeth was furious...
And she had the room locked.
So that your mother wouldn't be able to enter the room, ever again?
She was upset at my mother for not listening to her.
But to go so far as to lock her own sister out of her room...
Whatever the reason, Aunt Elizabeth's thinking is old fashioned and as hard as aged cheese.
I forget the number of times I've stood outside that door.
The room was always locked.
There's a simple solution!
While Aunt Elizabeth is out, you secretly sniff out the key.
My instinct tells me she's surely hidden it in one of her hatboxes.
I can't do something that sneaky.
It's foul.
That's just like you.
Ilse, you caught something!
You can't pull it up just like that! Hold on tightly!
It's huge!
Teddy! Teddy!
Mother.
So you were here, Teddy.
Ilse!
Teddy.
Hold it!
Teddy.
You'll catch a fever, staying out in the cold like that.
Don't worry. I'm almost fully recovered.
It's due to all the running around with Emily and Ilse during the summer.
You get too complacent.
That's such a bad habit of yours.
Come on.
Well, see you tomorrow.
Yeah, see you.
See how cold it's gotten?
I must make you some hot soup.
I caught something!
Here we go!
It got away.
It's raining again.
It's been raining a lot this autumn.
It sure brings back memories.
Days like these make me think about Juliet.
You too, Jimmy?
It's been twenty years since that day.
What do you think, Elizabeth?
I was thinking of letting Emily look inside the view room.
That child is only eleven.
I think it would be nice if she could feel Juliet's warmth.
I think so too.
Laura, the potatoes should be ready. Could you go take a look?
Okay.
I shall go give a hand.
Secretly sniff out the key...
I can't do something like that.
My instinct tells me she's surely hidden it in one of her hatboxes.
A hatbox...
I can't. I really can't!
Good grief! Whatever am I doing!
Elizabeth, I'm going to marry Douglas.
Juliet, you're still too young.
Furthermore, I cannot allow you to marry someone that cannot match the stature of the Murray family!
If so, I shall leave with Douglas.
Juliet!
Farewell, New Moon.
Elizabeth.
I was wondering what my mother would do, on a rainy day like this.
Like knitting, or studying, or looking out through the window...
That's right, rainbows!
I was told that she saw rainbows.
I heard it from my father.
That my mother saw rainbows from this room.
Enough.
Aunt Elizabeth, please!
I want to see my mother's room.
Even if it's just for a while.
Aunt Elizabeth!
There's no need to bring back the past, at this point in time.
Even if that door was opened, the time that is lost will not return.
But... But...
Juliet is no longer around!
That's awful!
Don't you even think about my mother at all?
Do you really hate her that much?
This letter...
It's the last letter Juliet sent.
I haven't opened it, after all this time.
It's a very nice room.
Why was it given to my mother?
Ever since she was young, Juliet was never in very good health.
Her father, Archibald, decided to give her the room with the most sunlight.
My mother was in poor health since she was young?
The whole family was worried that she might not be healthy when she grew up.
She was the youngest child in the family, after all.
We all loved Juliet.
Did you know?
If you make a wish before the rainbow fades away, your dream will come true.
Really?
Rainbows don't appear for very long,
so you should think about what you want to wish for ahead of time, Jimmy.
What do you plan to wish for, Juliet?
I've thought long and hard about it.
But before a rainbow appears, it stays a secret.
I see. Then, so will mine.
A wish?
What did my mother dream of?
But since my mother went to heaven so soon, I wonder if her dream ever came true.
In autumn of that year, Juliet caught a chill.
She was already weak to begin with, so her condition got progressively worse.
It rained continuously for two days, and Juliet remained unconscious.
Her time had finally come.
That was what everyone feared.
Even so, we all prayed hard for her recovery.
Father...
Elizabeth...
Laura...
Jimmy...
I wish all of you happiness.
I hope to become an adult.
Juliet.
I...
want to become the mother of a little girl.
A rainbow?
Elizabeth!
Look, it's a rainbow!
Aunt Elizabeth!
Emily.
Come look!
There's a rainbow! Mother's rainbow!
Do you remember about my mother?
Come with me, Emily.
Aunt Elizabeth, come quickly!
Mother's rainbow...
My mother saw her rainbow from this room, too.
Her favourite rainbow...
That's not the case.
Here.
Dear Elizabeth,
today, I saw a rainbow from our home.
As I had always wished, I've become the mother of a baby girl, named Emily.
Upon that rainbow, Douglas and I made a wish for Emily's happiness.
I hope she will always be able to keep on smiling.
This girl is our treasure.
Elizabeth...
forgive me.
I feel very blessed that I was able to be the mother of this child.
There is a rumour of a diamond that wandered off by itself.
We're going to look for it!
I'm so excited!
On the next episode of Emily of New Moon:
The Missing Diamond.
Watch for it!
