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

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

Longing for the Summer Holidays
Good morning, Anne!
Good morning.
What's wrong? You don't look very well.
The river is singing happily and the flowers are smiling to the sky.
Spring has come.
You must be tired from the extra lessons for Queens. Let's talk about something fun.
Queens? Maybe you're right.
Mori no tobira wo akete
Sagashi ni oide
Guriin geiburuzu no an
Akai kami no onna no ko
Sagashi ni oide
Spring had come again to Green Gables
and all the world was abloom once more.

The season has a negative affect in the student's.

While the others scattered to green lanes and leafy wood cuts and meadow byways,
the Queen's class, left behind in school, looked wistfully out of the windows.
The winter passed away in a round of pleasant duties and studies,
but now, the enthusiasm was slowly ebbing away.
Yondeiru no ha dare
Even Anne and Gilbert lagged and grew indifferent.
And then, Anne heard some shocking news.
Is it true that Miss Stacy is not coming back the next year, Anne?
How can that be!?
I didn't know anything.
I heard that she had been offered a position in the grade school of her own home district.
And that the teacher meant to accept.
But... then what will become of the Queen's lessons?
I wonder...
I won't believe that rumor.
She has always put her heart into educating us.
But I heard it from Mrs. Lynde. And she's a school council member.
What are we going to do? I don't think I'll be able to get into Queens.
But we don't even know if it's true.
Let's just go ask her directly.
I don't have the courage.
That's right.
If she answers that she really is planing to leave,
I would be really disappointed.
Miss Stacy is coming.
What's wrong?
You should be happy that vacation is coming.
Just be a little more patience.
Come on, cheer up. Let's continue the class.
For how long does she intends to sleep?
Well now...
She should be getting up soon.
Lately she gets up so late that she doesn't even have time for breakfast.
She doesn't even have time to complete her tasks.
Before she used to worry about her studies and helped much more around the house.
Well now... Maybe she's tired.
Anne?
But she's still the same during the day and talks just as much.
But with her studies she doesn't even have time to play.
Yes, maybe you're right.
But it's hard to believe the she could get tired.
Anne, you are going to be late if you don't wake up soon!
Anne! Anne!
Yes...
The last day of the school term has arrived.
Well, this was the last Queen's class of the year.
All of you seem a little tired, and to say the truth I'm a little relieved.
But you've worked well this past year.
And you deserve a good, jolly vacation.
Have the best time you can in the out-of-door world and lay in a good stock of health
and vitality and ambition to carry you through next year.
It will be the tug of war,
the last year before the Entrance.
This is strange...
What's wrong, everyone?
You're all so quiet.
Miss Stacy!
Are you going to be back next year?
So it's because of that?
Yes, I think I will.
They offered me the chance to teach at the school where I studied and I was thinking about it,
but I have decided to come back to Avonlea.
I've grown so interested in you all. So I'll stay and see you through.
Hurrah!
Thank you, Miss Stacy!
Thank you!
I'm so relieved!
Don't be silly.
It would be perfectly dreadful if you didn't come back.
I don't believe I could have the heart to go on with my studies if another teacher came here.
That's true!
Oh, that would be a problem.
But you should be here for yourselves, and not for me.
So no matter what happens, you should study hard.
Of course.
We know that. But we're really relieved.
Hey, Charlie, now you can rest assured.
Yes, and the same goes to you.
Well, everyone, we'll meet again in two months' time.
Yes!
Matthew, I'm home!
My vacations start tomorrow!
The school term ended today.
Is that so?
Do you want a ride?
Yes.
I'm home, Marilla!
My vacations start tomorrow!
My my, the child loves to study, but she must be really tired of it.
What are you doing here?
You didn't even washed the bottle.
Oh Marilla!
I'm packing my schoolbooks because I don't want to see them during my vacations.
I've studied as hard all the term as possibly
and I've studied geometry until I knew everything in the first book.
I just feel tired of everything sensible
and I'm going to let my imagination run riot for the summer.
Don't joke with me.
You know what it happens when you let your imagination run wild, don't you?
Oh, you needn't be alarmed, Marilla.
I'll only let it run riot within reasonable limits.
I wonder. In any case I'm worried about such long vacations.
Please don't climb up onto Mr. Barry's roof again this year.
But I want to have a real good jolly time this summer, Matthew.
For maybe it's the last summer I'll be a little girl.
Well, you really are growing up fast.
Mrs. Lynde says that
if I keep stretching out, next year I'll have to put on longer skirts.
And that I'm all running to legs and eyes.
It was terrible of her to say such things.
You're right.
When I put on longer skirts I shall feel that I have to live up to them and be very dignified.
It will be strange if I still behave like a child, right?
It won't even do to believe in fairies then, I'm afraid.
So I'm going to believe in them with all my whole heart this summer.
I think we're going to have a very nice vacation.
Ruby Gillis is going to have a birthday party soon
and there's the Sunday school picnic next month.
And the missionary concert.
And also... Well...
That's very nice, but don't you think you should study at least a little?
I've already told you.
I won't touch any schoolbook for these two months.
Schoolbooks won't help me with my imagination.
I hope that you're not pretending to use your vacations
to imagine all the time instead of helping around the house.
No, don't worry.
Since I'm a grown up I will do everything I must do.
Well, well, that's a relief.
Lately you've been very lazy.
I'm sorry.
I can't seem to get up early during Springtime.
Yes.
You are probably very tired due to the load of schoolwork.
That is why...
You think that I'm tired?
That can't be.
I'm alright, Matthew.
I'm not tired.
I'm full of energy.
Oh, my vacations start tomorrow.
On the next day, after breakfast,
Anne went to see Diana.
They were going to discuss how to spend the next two months.
Good morning, Diana!
And on that afternoon...
I'm going to the Aid meeting now.
I asked Anne to make the tea.
So she must be home soon.
Alright. I'll see you later.
M-Matthew!
Are you alright, Matthew!?
Jerry Buote! Jerry!
Come here!
Matthew's heart hasn't been well for a while.
That was why they wanted a boy from the orphanage to help him.
They wanted to lessen his workload.
His life doesn't seem to be in danger for now.
I already told you that you shouldn't do any heavy work.
And you must be careful to avoid excitement.
Well now...
But I can't just stop working, Doctor.
Is that so?
But we can't be too careless.
However it doesn't help if you keep worrying about it.
Please, call me if anything happens again.
Thank you very much.
Remember, don't work so much and be careful to avoid excitement.
I understand, Doctor.
I'm sorry to make you come all the way here.
Where is Anne Shirley?
Anne? She got out to play.
Is anything wrong with her?
No. It's just that I saw her not to long ago, and she seemed a little pale.
She seems different from last year when she broke her leg.
Don't tell me that she's ill?
No, no. I don't think so.
But I think fresh air would be good for her.
Let her have some fun during her vacations.
I heard she's an excellent student.
But if she continues to neglect her health, she might get some lung disease.
L-Lung disease?
She has lung disease?
Please calm down.
I didn't want to alarm you. It was just a warning.
I see. I thought that was strange that lately she doesn't want to get out of bed.
There's nothing to be worried about.
Just let her enjoy herself during her vacation, and everything will be alright.
I'll be back when you need me. Goodbye.
I told her not to exert herself too much for the Queens Classes.
That child studies too much.
But then again she gets too passionate about everything.
What if she really gets sick?
That it's strange.
She really knew that she needed to have fun.
For some time, the only thing she cared was her studies.
You shouldn't be out of bed.
You have got to rest.
No, I'm alright. It's not the first time this happens.
I just need to rest a little.
There was no need to call the Doctor.
But you have to listen to the Doctor this time.
Let Jerry do all the heavy work.
You are...
I understood. By the way, did the Doctor mention something about Anne just now?
Yes, he said that he saw Anne the other day and noticed that she has grown taller,
and also that he heard she's an excellent student. All good things.
Well now, Marilla
don't tell anything to Anne about my ailment, like we did till now.
If we did...
I knew you would say that.
Yes, I won't tell her, Matthew.
And you shouldn't be worrying like that. It's not good for your heart.
Well, I'll get you some tea.
It's a good thing that Anne is not around.
Or she would want to help Matthew with his work.
Oh, Matthew, you already here?
I'll go make you some tea.
W-Well now...
Marilla? What about the Aid meeting?
I had a little headache. So I didn't go today.
Really? I'm sorry, I'm late.
It's alright. By the way, did you have fun today?
Well, I spent the day at Diana's house talking like a lady.
We haven't had such a good chat since I joined the Queens Class.
That won't do. You have to spend more time outside.
Didn't you say you were going to have a lot of fun?
In the next afternoon,
after Diana and Anne spent the day together,
Mrs. Lynde went to Green Gables.
She wanted to find out why Marilla had not been at the Aid meeting yesterday.
Matthew had a bad spell with his heart yesterday.
Oh my, again? That's not a good sign!
And I didn't feel like leaving him.
He's all right again now
but he takes them spells oftener than he used to and I'm anxious about him.
The doctor says he must be careful to avoid excitement.
Well, that's easy enough.
For Matthew doesn't go about looking for excitement by any means and never did.
You're right.
But he's not to do any very heavy work either
and you might as well tell Matthew not to breathe as not to work.
That's true.
Rachel. You'll stay to tea?
Anne is going to make some cookies today. You have to try some.
Anne?
Then I will have to try them.
Speaking of Anne, here she comes.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Lynde.
Today I arrived on time.
Look, I brought a gift.
Aren't they pretty?
I'll make the cookies right away.
She doesn't know anything about Matthew's illness.
While Marilla was speaking with Mrs. Lynde,
Anne made tea and baked cookies.
And even the critical Mrs. Lynde couldn't find anything wrong in the cookies.
These cookies are really delicious!
I was finally praised by Mrs. Lynde.
I must say Anne has turned out a real smart girl.
She must be a great help to you.
She is. I used to be afraid she'd never get over her featherbrained ways,
but she has and I wouldn't be afraid to trust her in anything now.
The first day I saw her three years ago I was really shocked.
Lawful heart, shall I ever forget that tantrum of hers!
I told my husband, "Marilla Cuthbert'll live to rue the step she's took."
Honestly, until recently, I was worried that she wouldn't get rid of her temper.
Marilla,
I ain't one of those people that can never admit that they've made a mistake.
That never was my way, thank goodness.
I did make a mistake in judging Anne, but it weren't no wonder,
for I never saw a strange child like her in my entire life.
There was no ciphering her out by the rules that worked with other children.
It's nothing short of wonderful how she's improved these three years,
but especially in looks.
She's a real pretty girl now.
Anne doesn't know about Matthew's heart.
Neither does she know that Marilla is worried about her health.
She is just enjoying her vacation.
The entrance exam is coming
and the absences from the Story Club is increasing.
