I wouldn't dream of putting my own sister into a hotel. And 52 00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:56,640 besides, it'll give us more time to be together and catch up. 53 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,300 That's what I'm afraid of. 54 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,360 Oh, Felix. 55 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,440 I've put Lucky in your room with Daniel. 56 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,840 Where am I supposed to sleep? 57 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,640 I'll never get a decent night's sleep on this contraption. 58 00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:20,100 At least you don't have to listen to Aunt Eliza snoring up a storm all night 59 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:21,100 long. 60 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,420 Maybe I'll stay at the White's dance while they're here. 61 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,380 You can't. That would be insulting. 62 00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,760 We'll just have to make the most of it. Well, for Mother's sake. She's been 63 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,740 walking on air ever since Aunt Abigail wrote to say they were moving back to 64 00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:34,860 Avonlea. Well, that won't last. 65 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,140 A few days with Aunt Crabbegale and we'll all be screaming for mercy. 66 00:05:45,230 --> 00:05:47,070 You don't want to forget this.
