Diana and the Students for Queens Class
It looks like a beautiful day again.
Good morning, Diana!
Diana! Please listen to me!
Oh, didn't you say yesterday that our friendship was over?
So I don't want to talk with you.
That's why I'm apologizing to you.
Please forgive me!
Or else my last letter to you was meaningless.
What last letter?
My last letter to you.
I was dying for eating a poisoned apple.
Later on, I found out the apple wasn't poisoned after all
but I really wrote you a last letter.
That is so like you, Anne.
Alright, I forgive you.
I can't be angry with someone who has died.
Thank goodness!
Then tell me what you wanted to say.
All right.
Today I have great news.
I'm going to join the Queen's class.
Oh my! Really, Anne?
Yes. Yesterday, Miss Stacy came to talk about it
and Marilla and Matthew agreed to let me go.
If I can get into Queen's, I'll be able to become a teacher in the future.
But of course I'll have to pass the entrance exam first.
I'm so glad for you, Anne.
You're a model pupil so you'll definitely make it.
Thank you, Diana.
I'll study hard for it.
I want to go with you to the Queen's Academy and study all sort of things.
I won't even be afraid of geometry.
Both my parents were teachers
so I always dreamed of becoming a teacher too.
Although I'm living right now at Green Gables, I'm still an orphan.
So I couldn't bring myself to say that I wanted to go to Queen's Academy.
But Matthew and Marilla told me that from the moment they decided to adopt me,
they resolved they would do the best they could for me and give me a good education.
Oh, you can't imagine how grateful I am to Marilla and Matthew.
I don't even feel the cold this morning,
because I feel so happy.
What's the matter, Diana?
Are you still angry about yesterday?
It's not that.
That's good...
I had a dream.
I dreamt that both of us made it to Queen's.
It was only a dream but my heart started pounding madly.
Anne.
Yes?
I can't go to Queen's Academy.
Diana, is what you said before true?
Yes.
Why?
Miss Stacy was in your house yesterday, wasn't she?
Yes.
Then, why?
Anne Shirley. Is something wrong?
Diana,
please tell me why you're not going to Queen's Academy.
I've always thought that we would study together.
When we were at the exposition, didn't you said that you were born for the city's life?
That's why, I...
Anne,
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
No, we have to.
If you're not going, then I'm not going too.
My mother and father were the ones who decided.
They won't let me go.
So please forget about it.
How can that be?
But Diana, how do you feel about it?
Don't you want to go to Queen's?
Jane, Ruby and Josie are going.
I think that it would be fun to study with them.
That's right.
If even I can go, then there's no reason why you can't.
That may be truth, but...
Then speak to your parents about it.
Yes...
But...
Let me accompany you.
I'm sure we'll be able to convince them.
There is no need. I'll speak to them myself.
Really?
Yes...
Make sure you make them understand.
Alright, Anne.
So please don't talk more about it.
Goodbye.
I never expected Diana not to be allowed to get into Queens.
And Diana is also to be blamed.
She gave up right away instead of talking with her parents.
Anne,
the problem is you think you're always right.
Mr. Barry must have his reasons to decide that about Diana.
You shouldn't have meddled.
But it's too much.
They didn't even ask Diana about it.
And you think you understand Diana?
Does she really want to become a teacher just like you do?
That is the reason why you want to go to Queen's.
You probably were so forceful that Diana couldn't speak her mind.
She has the right to seek the lifestyle she desires.
I've always thought it would be great to prepare for exams with Diana.
And I always believed that Diana felt the same way too.
But Anne, we can't force others to live the way we want them to.
Good morning, Diana!
Anne,
forget about what we spoke about yesterday.
I...
It's not that!
Anyway, come down.
I've always felt that
we should do everything together, like going to Queen's and not getting married.
And I forgot about your opinion.
But I was wrong.
Even if we end up in different paths, true friends should still support each other.
Anne...
Marilla made me realize that yesterday.
We can be good friends even if we don't attend school together.
You'll make a wonderful wife no matter who you marry.
A-Anne...!
Diana, forgive me for making you feel so bad,
and let us renew our promise in the same place we did before.
Thank you, Diana.
Even if we're separated, so long as time goes by,
Oboeteite Daiana
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Diana Barry
Kono niwa ni afureteita hikari
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
Even if we're separated, so long as time goes by,
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Anne Shirley
Ribon no youna komichi
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.

Never, since the night on which Minnie May had the croup,
had Anne and Diana been separated in anything.
Diana won't be joining the Queen's class.
From now on they will be moving on in life in different directions.
The Queen's class was organized in due time.
Gilbert Blythe,
Anne Shirley,
Ruby Gillis,
Jane Andrews,
Josie Pye,
Charlie Sloane,
and Moody Spurgeon MacPherson joined it.
As Anne had expected, Diana's name was not included.
The students I just called please stay in here for extra lessons.
As for the rest, we'll see you tomorrow.
Anne.
Work hard, Anne.
Diana...
Dearest Anne Shirley,
as you have understood, it's not just because of my parents that I'm not going to Queen's.
I don't enjoy studying like you do and I don't wish to become a teacher.
I should've told you this long ago.
You will forgive me for not having told you the truth, won't you?
But my heart will always be with you.
Even if I don't go to Queen's,
we must remain good friends forever.
Please work hard on my behalf
and realize your dream as soon as possible.
From your bosom friend, Diana Barry.
Diana...
What's the matter, Anne?
It's nothing, Ruby.
Anne,
are you still thinking about Diana?
You're not going to part forever.
Marilla,
I wish to support Diana's decision wholeheartedly.
But when I saw Diana go out alone, I had the urge to go after her.
I really felt that I had tasted the bitterness of death.
My goodness,
don't exaggerate.
It's another year until you go to Queen's.
You can have fun with Diana in the meantime.
As Mrs. Lynde says, we can't have things perfect in this imperfect world.
I just have to accept that we have to go on different ways.
But I feel so lonely to have to part with Diana.
It's been two months since the extra lessons for Queen's started.
Except for Josie Pye refusing to sit with Anne, everything went smoothly for the students.
Now, please try to solve this problem. This one is a little hard.
Looks like you're all in trouble.
Does anyone know the answer?
Me!
Then Anne and Gilbert, please write your answers on the board.
The rest of you, please keep trying.
There was open rivalry between Gilbert and Anne now.
Previously the rivalry had been rather onesided,
but there was no longer any doubt that Gilbert
was as determined to be first in class as Anne was.
To Anne, Gilbert was a foeman worthy of her steel.
Marilla, everyone at the Queen's class has great ambitions.
Jane and Ruby are just going to study to be teachers.
That is the height of their ambition.
I will only teach for two years after I get through,
and then I intend to be married.
I will devote my whole life to teaching,
and I will never, never marry!
Because you are paid a salary for teaching,
but a husband won't pay you anything.
Jane says
a husband won't pay you anything,
and growls if you ask for a share in the egg and butter money.
I expect Jane speaks from mournful experience.
Is that so?
Mrs. Lynde says that Jane's father is a perfect old crank,
and meaner than second skimmings.
And Josie Pye says...
I'm just going to college for education's sake,
because I won't have to earn my own living.
It is different with orphans who are living on charity.
She talks like all orphans have to work to survive.
Just ignore her.
Orphan or not, everyone have to work to survive.
That's right, Anne. Besides... you're no longer an orphan.
Matthew!
W-well now... What about the other students?
The boys are Moody Spurgeon, Charlie and Gilbert.
I'm going to be a minister.
I know it's wicked of me,
but the thought of Moody Spurgeon being a minister makes me laugh.
Because he doesn't look like one at all.
But perhaps he will be more intellectual looking when he grows up.
And Charlie Sloane says...
I'm going to go into politics and be a member of Parliament.
I'll strive for your welfare.
But Marilla,
Mrs. Lynde says he'll never succeed at that,
because the Sloanes are all honest people,
and it's only rascals that get on in politics nowadays.
What is Gilbert Blythe going to be?
I don't happen to know what Gilbert Blythe's ambition in life is,
if he has any.
Since the day by the pond when Anne had refused to listen to his plea for forgiveness,
Gilbert Blythe, save for the determined rivalry,
had evinced no recognition whatever of the existence of Anne.
He talked and jested with the other girls,
exchanged books and puzzles with them, discussed lessons and plans,
sometimes walked home with one or the other of them.
But Anne he simply ignored.
Anne didn't like that.
It was in vain that she told herself with a toss of her head that she did not care.
Deep down in her feminine little heart she did care,
and if she had that chance of the Lake of Shining Waters again
she would answer very differently.
But she determined to "shroud her feelings in deepest oblivion,"
and she did it so successfully that no one suspected how she truly felt.
Oh, you're back.
It started to snow heavily all of a sudden.
Will Anne be able to come back safely?
Well now,
maybe I should fetch her from school.
They should end the extra lessons earlier in a weather like this.
Teacher, this is all the wood we've got.
That's strange.
There should've been some delivered here this morning.
Well, it's all right.
Let's continue.
Quiet, everyone.
It's just snowing.
Teacher, we should go home as soon as possible.
That's right. We should go before it's too late!
Teacher, if we go now it should be safe.
Wait.
Some of us live faraway.
What would we do if the snow gets heavy on our way?
We'd better wait a while.
But we're running out of firewood.
If we have to, we could use the tables and the chairs.
Meanwhile, I think it would be safer to stay here until someone comes to fetch us, teacher.
That's right, we should wait.
I think so too.
Yes, I think that's the best thing to do.
Well, let's continue the lessons.
Yes!
This is the last piece of wood.
Don't cry Ruby. It's almost over.
Almost over? No one's coming to fetch us in this weather.
We should stay here and wait.
Come on, we should put our coats on before we freeze.
I don't want to freeze!
Neither do I!
Calm down!
Teacher,
I'll go to Mr. Andrews' house to ask how long the snowstorm is expected to last.
And If necessary, I'll bring some food and firewood.
No, that's too dangerous.
His house it's not too far.
I'll go too.
Wait, let's think of something else.
We'll be alright!
We'll be back soon.
Hang in there!
I can't see anything!
Even after exercising both lets, I'm still cold.
I wonder if Gil and the others are alright?
Gil is really reliable.
Charlie and Moody have gone too.
But it was Gil who decided.
You want your name to be written in the wall along with Gil's name, don't you?
The water is almost frozen!
Really?
Come on, let's sing to warm up.
We'll sing louder than the storm.
Start!
They're taking so long.
Don't worry, they'll come back soon.
What are we going to do if they don't return?
Ruby, calm down!
We're doomed!
Ruby Gillis!
Are you all right, Ruby?
Jane, did you hear something?
It was the wind.
No, it wasn't.
It's Gilbert!
They're back!
Gilbert!
Teacher, we can leave now!
The storm will be lighter soon.
Marilla is worried about Anne getting exhausted studying for the exams
and Anne is excited over the coming summer holidays.
