Chapter 5 Marilla Makes Up Her Mind

- Çevrilmemiþ altyazý -

It was so dangerous!

Annoying.

Good Afternoon, Miss Cuthbert.

What are you doing here? Get lost!

I wasn't expecting you today.

Come inside. Anne, how are you?

I am very well. Thank you.

That's good to hear.

Mrs Spencer, the purpose of this visit is actually to...

Don't do that.

It's dangerous.

I got it.

Anne. It's Anne.

Hello, Miss Cuthbert.

Hello, Flora Jane.

Lily Jones 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 Jones is really...

Mrs Spencer, something must have gone wrong somewhere.

I had wanted to adopt a boy initially.

What did she just say?

We were thinking of taking in a boy.

What?

Because

My brother, Robert, said that you were looking for a girl.

What should we do now?

Please believe that it's not my fault!

Although I admit that I was also a little careless.

Matthew and I feel terrible about this.

I should break the news personally since it's so crucial.

We can only try to rectify the situation.

Can we send her back to the asylum

and adopt a boy instead? Would that be a problem?

Although this is my fault, there's no need to send her back.

I met Mrs Blewett yesterday and she said she needs a helper.

- Çevrilmemiþ altyazý -

Mrs Blewett?

She has a big family and she can't manage without help.

Anne would be a great help to her.

Is it that Mrs Blewett...

You don't get this chance everyday. It's the Lord's blessing!

Here's Mrs Blewett now.

She came at the right time. Excuse me for a while.

Mrs Blewett.

What a strange coincidence. I don't quite believe it.

I'm talking about her.

How old are you? What is your name?

Go on, say it.

I asked how old you are.

She's 11, Mrs Blewett.

I'm sorry, but I would like the girl to speak for herself.

Let's not stand outside and talk.

Come on into the house.

Please.

Flora Jane, would you please get us a pot of tea?

Yes, Mother.

Mrs Blewett, what do you think?

You should decide soon, in order to protect her from further trauma.

- Çevrilmemiþ altyazý -

Her appearance isn't outstanding, but she seems strong.

We have no place for weaklings.

It would only bring me more problems.

I like her strong character as well.

Listen, if I take you in, you have to be very obedient.

You must be good and help in the household chores.

I will feed you in exchange for your help around the house.

I have decided to keep the child.

My baby has been crying a lot I'm so tired because of that.

I can rest a little now.

I didn't know what to do.

I intend to bring the child home today.

Really, what should we do?

Actually, we have decided whether to adopt her or not.

Matthew seems to want her to stay.

Since we know where the problem is,

then I'll bring her home first, let me discuss this with Matthew.

If we still need to trouble you after that,

I'll come personally again tomorrow.

If I don't turn up, it would mean that we have decided to keep her.

Is that ok, Mrs Blewett?

That's ok, after that, you were the one who mentioned this.

I came here for a recipe actually.

Really, I talked too much then.

Please hold on, Mrs Blewett.

Auntie.

Did you mention that you might let me stay on at Green Gables?

Is that true?

Did you really say that?

Or was it my imagination?

If you can't tell between truth and your own imagination,

then you had better control your mind a little.

You didn't hear wrongly,

I haven't actually decided for sure.

There's still a possibility that you will be adopted by Mrs CCC.

She wants you more than I do.

I'd rather stay in the asylum forever than go to her.

She's like...

She's like... a gimlet.

Gimlet?

You are too young to start criticizing people you hardly know.

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 back!

Can I say that?

I'm back, Bonnie.

Really, how could anyone allow Mrs Blewett to have her?

What were you muttering about?

No, I didn't say anything.

Whatever it is, that child is either staying here or at Mrs Blewett's.

Either way.

I know you want her to stay.

I'm beginning to think we should take her in.

Although I've never raised a child and may even make a mess out of it,

she can stay.

Really, Marilla? I knew you'll change your mind.

She's interesting, isn't she?

It's more practical for her to be of some help than interesting.

Yes, yes... you are right...

I'll teach her how to behave because she's a girl.

You may take over this responsibility if I fail.

I understand, Marilla. As you wish.

There's one thing though, can you treat her with a little bit more love?

You've always been afraid of females,

I'm surprised to hear this coming from you.

Don't let her know that we intend to keep her tonight.

Else, she'll be too excited to sleep.

I wonder how this experiment will turn out?

I don't think it's a problem telling her tonight.

Anne, Anne, dinnertime.

Coming.

Anne, hurry down.

Have I fallen asleep?

Anne, you left your clothes all over the floor yesterday.

You should have hung it neatly by your chair instead.

I don't like untidy children.

I was too upset yesterday to care about my clothes.

But I'll put it back properly tonight.

I usually throw my clothes around, I may forget at times,

but I'll be very tidy tonight.

Then you had better go to bed after your prayers.

I'll come and get the candle later.

I've never prayed before and am not sure how to go about it.

What did you say? You have never said a prayer before?

Don't you know God?

If you believe in the Lord, he will be there for you always

At least you are not a heathen. That isn't too bad.

Where did you learn that one line?

I remember all the catechism from the Sunday school at the asylum.

I like that one because you could hear meaningful things.

If you believe in the Lord...

how should I put it? ...Like a gigantic musical box

filled with poetic sentiments.

Don't bother with the poetry, go on with your prayers.

Didn't you know how wicked it is not to pray before bedtime?

You don't seem like a very good child.

A girl with red hair always finds easier to be good than bad.

- Çevrilmemiþ altyazý -

Anyone without red hair would not be able to understand.

Mrs Thomas say that my red hair was God's punishment.

From that day on, I've decided to ignore God.

Moreover, I could never find the time to pray.

I still had to take care of the twins.

If you stay in this house, you must pray.

How do I do it?

On a careful thought, saying prayers can be interesting.

Because you can say anything you want.

Kneel first.

Why must we kneel when we pray?

I like to imagine myself alone out in the woods,

lying on the green grass, looking up at the sky above.

Looking up at the clear blue sky, and praying and praying.

Then my mood will change for the better.

Ok, what should I say?

Lord, as I lay me down to sleep...

You are not that young, you should know what to pray about.

You should give thanks to the Lord,

and ask humbly for the things you want.

I'll try my best.

Gracious heavenly Father

The ministers in the church always say this.

Gracious heavenly Father

Thank you for the White Way of Delight,

The Lake of Shining Waters, Bonnie, and Snow Queen.

I most sincerely thank you.

I have too many wishes, it's going to take a long time to finish.

But please fulfil my 2 most important wishes.

Please let me stay in Green Gables.

And please let me be good-looking when I grow up.

Yours respectfully, Anne Shirley.

Will this do?

I could have made it much more flowery if I'd had more time.

Alright, go to bed now.

Ok, goodnight.

I remember now.

I should have said Amen and not yours respectfully.

Just like a minister.

Is it terrible to say yours respectfully?

I think... It's not that bad.

Great, goodnight.

Matthew Cuthbert

Can you believe that the child said her first prayer tonight.

I will send her to Sunday school when I am done making her clothes.

We are going to be very busy indeed.

One of Life's many twists.

But I have been idling so thinking about it gives me a headache.

Yes, that child needs a lot of brushing up.

On the next day,

Anne was exhilarated upon learning that she can stay.
