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

Marilla Makes Up Her Mind
It was dangerous!
Good afternoon, Miss Cuthbert.
What are you doing here? Go away!
You're the last folks I was looking for today.
Come inside.
And how are you, Anne?
I'm as well as can be expected, thank you.
I see. That's good to hear.
Well... Mrs. Spencer, we're here because...
Stop!
That´s dangerous.
I got You.
No!
It´s Anne!
Good afternoon, Miss Cuthbert.
Good afternoon, Flora.
Lily has been very good. She's already adapted to life here.
They are as close as real sisters.
My husband is very glad for them too.
Lily, you...
The fact is, Mrs. Spencer, there's been a queer mistake somewhere.
We send word, for you to bring us a boy.
What did you say?
We were thinking of taking in a boy.
You don't say so!
Why...
Robert sent word down by his daughter Nancy and she said you wanted a girl.
What should we do now?
But it certainly wasn't my fault, you see, Miss Cuthbert.
I thought I was following your instructions.
It was our own fault.
We should have come to you ourselves, since it was such an important message.
Anyhow, the mistake has been made and the only thing to do is to set it right.
Can we send the child back to the asylum?
I suppose they'll take her back, won't they?
I suppose so.
But I don't think it will be necessary to send her back.
Mrs. Blewett was up here yesterday,
and she was saying how much she wished she'd sent by me for a little girl to help her.
Mrs. Blewett?
She has a large family, you know, and she finds it hard to get help.
Anne will be the very girl for her.
Is it that Mrs. Blewett...
You don't get this chance everyday. It's the lord's blessing!
And if there isn't Mrs. Blewett coming up the lane this blessed minute!
She came at the right time. Excuse me for a while.
Mrs. Blewett.
What a strage coincidence. It's the lord's blessing.
I'm talking about her.
How old are you and what's your name?
Well?
I asked how old you are.
She's eleven, Mrs. Blewett.
I'm sorry, but I would like the girl to speak for herself.
Well, let's not stand outside and talk.
Come on into the house.
Come in, please.
Flora, go in and put the kettle on.
Yes, mother.
What do you think, Mrs. Blewett?
I think she'll be just the thing for you.
Well, you don't look as if there was much to you. But you're wiry.
I don't know but the wiry ones are the best after all.
I like her strong character as well.
Well, if I take you you'll have to be a good girl.
Good and smart and respectful.
I'll expect you to earn your keep, and no mistake about that.
Yes, I suppose I might as well take her off your hands.
The baby's awful fractious, and I'm clean worn out attending to him.
I can rest a little now.
I really didn't know what to do.
If you like I can take her home right now.
Well, I don't know.
I didn't say that we had absolutely decided that we wouldn't keep her.
In fact I may say that Matthew is disposed to keep her.
I just came over to find out how the mistake had occurred.
I think I'd better take her home again and talk it over with Matthew.
If we make up our mind not to keep her we'll bring her over to you tomorrow night.
If we don't, you may know that she is going to stay with us.
Will that suit you, Mrs. Blewett?
I suppose it'll have to, You were the one who sent for her first.
I came her for a recipe actually.
Really, I talked too much then.
Please, wait a moment.
Miss Cuthbert...
Oh, Miss Cuthbert, did you really say that perhaps
you would let me stay at Green Gables?
Is that true?
Did you really say it?
Or did I only imagine that you did?
I think you'd better learn to control that imagination of yours
if you can't distinguish between what is real and what isn't.
Yes, you did hear me say that.
But it isn't decided yet.
And perhaps we will conclude to let Mrs. Blewett take you after all.
She certainly needs you much more than I do.
I'd rather go back to the asylum than go to live with her.
She looks exactly like a... like a gimlet.
Gimlet?
A little girl like you should be ashamed of talking so about a lady and a stranger.
I'm going to park the buggy, go on upstairs.
You can tell me if you need any help.
There's no need for that. I'll call you when dinner's ready.
I'm home.
Can I really say that?
I'm home Bonny.
I wouldn't give a dog I liked to that Blewett woman!
What did you said?
No, nothing...
I don't fancy her style myself, but it's that or keeping her ourselves, Matthew.
Well now...
And since you seem to want her, I suppose I'm willing, or have to be.
I've been thinking over the idea until I've got kind of used to it.
I've never brought up a child, and I dare say I'll make a terrible mess of it.
But I'll do my best.
Well now, I reckoned you'd come to see it in that light, Marilla.
She's such an interesting little thing.
It'd be more to the point if you could say she was a useful little thing.
W-well now... you are right...
But I'll make it my business to see she's trained to be that.
I'll teach her how to behave like a girl!
And mind, Matthew, you're not to go interfering with my methods.
There, there, Marilla, you can have your own way.
Only be as good and kind to her as you can without spoiling her.
You've always been afraid of females, I'm surprised to hear this coming from you.
I won't tell her tonight that she can stay.
She'd be so excited that she wouldn't sleep a wink.
I wonder how this experiment will turn out?
I don't think it's a problem telling her tonight.
Anne, Anne, dinnertime.
Yes!
Anne, hurry down.
Have I fallen asleep?
Now, Anne, last night you threw your clothes
all about the floor when you took them off.
When you take off any article of clothing fold it neatly and place it on the chair.
I haven't any use for little girls who aren't neat.
I was so harrowed up in my mind last night that I didn't think about my clothes at all.
I'll fold them nicely tonight.
They always made us do that at the asylum.
Half the time, though, I'd forget.
But I'll be very tidy tonight.
Say your prayers now and get into bed.
I'll come and get the candle later.
I never say any prayers.
Why, Anne, what do you mean? Were you never taught to say your prayers?
Don't you know who God is?
God is a spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable, in His being,
wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.
So you do know something then, thank goodness!
Where did you learn that?
At the asylum Sunday-school. They made us learn the whole catechism.
I liked it pretty well. There's something splendid about some of the words.
Infinite, eternal and unchangeable. Isn't that grand?
It has such a roll to it. just like a big organ playing.
It sounds like poetry.
We're not talking about poetry. We are talking about saying your prayers.
Don't you know it's a terrible wicked thing not to say your prayers every night?
I'm afraid you are a very bad little girl.
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair.
People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
Mrs. Thomas told me that God made my hair red on purpose,
and I've never cared about him since.
And anyhow I'd always be too tired at night to bother saying prayers.
People who have to look after twins can't be expected to say their prayers.
You must say your prayers while you are under my roof.
But how do I do it?
I believe that it will be quite interesting, now that I come to think of it.
You must kneel down.
Why must people kneel down to pray?
If I really wanted to pray,
I'd go out into a great big field or into the deep, deep, woods,
and I'd look up.
I'd look up, up, into that lovely blue sky.
And then I'd just feel a prayer.
I'm ready. What am I to say?
Now I lay me down to sleep...
You're old enough to pray for yourself.
Just thank God for your blessings,
and ask Him humbly for the things you want.
Well, I'll do my best.
Gracious heavenly Father...
that's the way the ministers say it in church.
Gracious heavenly Father...
I thank Thee for the White Way of Delight and the Lake of Shining Waters
and Bonny and the Snow Queen.
I'm really grateful for them.
The things I want, are so many that it would take a great deal of time to name them all,
so I will only mention the two most important.
Please let me stay at Green Gables.
And please let me be good-looking when I grow up.
Yours respectfully, Anne Shirley.
Did I do all right?
I could have made it much more flowery if I'd had a little more time to think it over.
Alright, go to bed now.
Yes. Goodnight.
I've just thought of it now.
I should have said, "Amen" in place of "yours respectfully",
the way the ministers do.
Do you suppose it will make any difference?
I... I don't suppose it will.
I'm relieved. Goodnight.
Matthew Cuthbert,
will you believe that she never said a prayer in her life till tonight?
She shall go to Sunday-school just as soon as I can get
some suitable clothes made for her.
I foresee that I shall have my hands full.
Well, well, we can't get through this world without our share of trouble.
I've had a pretty easy life so far, but my time has come at last.
Well now, you'll do alright.
On the next day...
Anne was exhilarated upon learning that she can stay.
Next of Anne of Green Gables: Anne of Green Gables.
Please watch!
