magazine no the story I wrote this spring attempting to have it published and that's tremendous listen to this everybody 's public school teacher soon to become world famous Canadian author it hasn't happened yet you fool and don't you dare tell anyone now what's all the fuss about Diana Barry well from what I understand she's uh going on an extended vacation this summer is that all where is she going you mean with whom is she going all right with whom then what difference doesn't make Fred Wright obviously makes a lot of difference to her he's proposed
and Diana has accepted Charlie Sloan found out from Fred himself rolly Fred right but they hardly know each other mental things for Diana to do didn't even know it was like this she probably only accepted because Fred was the first person to ever ask her don't be silly Fred's a terrific fellow we better steer clear of me There's No Business Waltzing in stealing my best friend you're not jealous are you no no pointed people have to grow up change oh you change if someone ever admitted that they were head over heels for you you'd be
swept off your feet in a moment I would not and I defy anyone who would try and make me change you do [Music] cheaters never prosper and Shirley you've had it now Miss Shirley [Music] laughs I'm sorry Diane sorry um well thank you for the lovely walk Diana oh please thank your mother for the crochets Myra Gillis had 37 doilies when she got married and I'm determined to have at least as many as she had I suppose it would be impossible to keep house with only 36 doilies but I assure you Mr Right Diana will
be the sweetest little homemaker in the world so long as you can afford to let her keep up with the gillises well I hope so uh good day ladies Gilbert well I better go get my bicycle I'll talk to you ladies later bye you always have to be the center of attention whenever Gilbert Blythe is in anyone's company that's not true [Music] don't you ever mean to get married perhaps if I meet the right one what about Gilbert Gilbert's just a Chum care for him that way you know what my ideal is Diana irresistibly handsome
proud and melancholic but people's ideals change sometimes mine wouldn't and I wouldn't care for any man who didn't fulfill them what if you never meet him well then I shall die an Old Maid it seems so funny and horrible I think of Diana marrying Fred doesn't it what is so horrible about it he certainly isn't the wild Dashing Young Man Diana used to want to marry Fred is extremely good that is exactly what he should be would you want to marry a wicked man why wouldn't marry anyone who was really wicked I think I'd like
it if it could be wooden [Music] sorry well the elegant and illustrious Miss Shirley relaxed while seeking out ideas for her next rolling reliables writing assignment I presume but do you suppose I'm here to chat with the bullfrogs be a gentleman it would've been better off telling you last month when Dad offered the buyer well I'll sell Dolly to him right now if he wants her you may have our Dawn Jersey anytime you want him Mr Blythe well this very minute for that matter done I'll give you the twenty dollars I offered before Gil can
drive it over to Comedy right now she'll go to town with the rest of the shipment this evening I promise Mr Reed of Brighton a jersey [Laughter] she won't care dolly was my cow anyway it's not likely to bring more than twenty dollars at the auction When Rachel sees this field she'll know Dolly was loose and I'll be over this afternoon with your twenty dollars well it's taught me a lesson not to stake my word of Honor on cows [Music] how do you think a mother would feel she found her child tattooed all over with
a baking powder advertisement I love my story and I wrote it out of the best that was in me you're just tired size why should you care 100 bucks is more than you make in two months teaching anyway Josie pie and Tilly Boulder can't wait to pounce on it despite the old cat you're just the first person in Pokemon to try anything like that all Pioneers are considered to be afflicted with Moonstruck Madness mad to think I could write anything better than a baking powder advertisement this has dampened any spark of ambition I shall never
write another story again well I wouldn't give up altogether maybe if you just let your character speak everyday English instead of all that high fluting mumbo jumbo you think my story is full of faults too don't you will thou give up that garter of fairest of the fair and nobody speaks that way and look at that sad Percival it sits around mooning the entire time he never lets a girl get a word in edgewise in real life she'd have pitched him his poetry would win any girl's heart well if you want my opinion Miss Shirley
I'd write about places I knew something of and people that spoke everyday English instead of these silly schoolgirl romances I don't share your opinion thank you I am not your horse Mr Blythe I was just trying to give you a bit of friendly advice it's so take the hundred dollars and write a real story about the people you care about right here in Avonlea Well you certainly wouldn't be one of them ching and mooning you know you're about as intellectual as Charlie and Moody and Fred and all the rest of the boys who could only
think of finding some silly girl to marry and keep a house for them well you can cry and feel sorry for yourself all you want but it won't help you write a better novel will you still come to Fred's clambig with me next Tuesday listen and I'm sorry will you let me walk you back I was just trying to be helpful you know you get my back up sometimes listen I'm sorry what else can I do oh let me get a word in edgewise once in a while before I pitch you oh I'm afraid I've
never been able to endure personal criticism very well Gilbert gave his honest opinion of my story this afternoon all right my temper it always gets the better of me and I whipped him as hard as I could I'm glad to hear it the blinds have always been far too opinionated for their own good you don't know how spiteful I was I can imagine our friendship it won't ever be the same now why can't he just be sensible and instead of acting like a Sentimental Schoolboy because he loves you because you make Josie pie and Ruby
Gillis and all of those wishy-washy young ladies who waltzed by him look like spineless nothing [Music] it's hardly my idea of a romantic shooter you have tricked something out of that imagination of yours that you call Romance have you forgotten how he gave up Heavenly school for you so that you could stay here with me he picked you up every day in his Carriage so that you could study your courses together don't toss it away for some ridiculous ideal that doesn't exist [Music] what about you Anne are you here with Gilbert I aren't those two
ridiculous they're determined to sit each other out I really don't care A Smith about either of them well let's get together soon man I want to hear all your news [Music] thank you you can call me Cordelia you have an Exquisite Rosemary connection do allow me I have an account to settle with this young lady for twenty dollars there too [Music] sorry girl I must have two left feet what are you thinking about I'm afraid to speak or move for fear that all this wonderful Beauty will just vanish like a broken silence doesn't it remind
you of our old school day picnics don't want any of it to change I could just hold on those days forever I have a feeling things will never be the same again will they I won't change that's the least I can promise you and there's something I want to ask you guilt please don't you've been avoiding me all spring ever since we graduated at least so you wouldn't but I won't be coming back to White Sands in the fall thousand medical schools accepted me so proud of proud I'm sorry about last week I only wanted
to show you how much I care now maybe you don't think I'm good enough for you now but I will be someday no kill you're a great deal too good for me but you want someone who'll adore you someone will be happy just to hang on your arm and build a home for you I wouldn't and that's not what I'm looking for at all we'll end up like two old crows fighting all the time I know I'd be unhappy and I wish we'd never done it everybody expects it you must feel that well then it
would be for all the wrong reason skills think that you love me [Music] foreign I've loved you as long as I can remember [Music] I can't go away knowing that if I just I promise that I'll always be here if you need me good friends are always together in spirit let's not change let's just go on being good friends [Music] huh I thought we were Kindred Spirits please say yes I can't kill I'm so desperately sorry [Music] I can't give it up for the prosaic reality of Gilbert opposed you know and I refused you what
yes Anna are you out of your mind gold me Diana can't you understand [Music] and I can't believe it I thought all this going on about your ideals was a cover-up because he hadn't asked you yet you actually said no years of flirting this is scandalous take that back Diana Berry I've never flirted with him Gil and I have only ever been good friends I even stared clear Gilbert because of you how could you Anne I know I don't love him I'm sure he despises me now and you despise me and I despise myself humiliated

firelight No Doubt you'll do your Castles in the Sky I know you he's killed I don't mean to hurt you but you'll see that I'm right by and by when you fall for someone else you haven't heard me really it's just that I fool myself into thinking that you love me that's all [Music] guilt please I hope he breaks your heart [Music] whoever is [Music] you don't understand maybe you'll come to your senses [Music] [Applause] [Music] I thought Andrew Christine Stewart you're too kind I can't believe you didn't notice and staring at Gilbert just to
make us jealous I know the game is very fond of it certainly isn't jealous trying desperately to win him back I don't think it's that at all besides you and I are on your friends well I think Ann Shirley has far too big [Music] and Shirley what the heck are you doing here Gill you're the very last person I'd ever expect to meet out here on a day like this um come on the Royal Academy Physicians is convenient here this weekend and I'm here as a delegate you must be proud of yourself not as proud

like us to live there but I don't want any handouts besides any other place just wouldn't seem like home to me no of course the more Governors at the college just offered me a five-year contract well that's wonderful you certainly won your way into the hearts of this affluent Old Town it won't be lonely I'll survive well I had to go train leaves at 5 30. oh no really oh I was going to uh mail this but I know it just isn't the same thanks Gil it's fine goodbye again don't forget me [Music] thank you
