[00:02.01] | 5 Queen's College |
[00:05.45] | One day Marilla said,'Anne,your new teacher,Miss Stacy,spoke to me yesterday. |
[00:15.54] | She says you must study for the examinations for Queen's College in two years'time. |
[00:22.83] | Then if you do well,you can study at Queen's in Charlotte-town for a year, |
[00:29.15] | and after that you'll be a teacher!' |
[00:32.33] | 'Oh Marilla!I'd love to be a teacher!But won't it be very expensive?' |
[00:40.77] | 'That doesn't matter,Anne. |
[00:43.75] | When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, |
[00:47.43] | we decided to look after you as well as we could.Of course we'll pay for you to study.' |
[00:54.44] | So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, |
[01:02.89] | and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. |
[01:07.16] | Diana didn't want to go to Queen's,so she went home early,but Gilbert stayed. |
[01:14.23] | He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, |
[01:21.65] | because they both wanted to be first in the examination. |
[01:26.16] | Secretly,Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren't friends,but it was too late now. |
[01:34.15] | For two years Anne studied hard at school. |
[01:39.55] | She enjoyed learning,and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. |
[01:44.32] | But she didn't study all the time. |
[01:47.27] | In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, |
[01:51.84] | or walked through the fields with Diana,or sat talking to Matthew. |
[01:57.75] | 'Your Anne is a big girl now.She's taller than you,' |
[02:04.03] | Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day. |
[02:07.23] | 'You're right,Rache!'said Marilla in surprise. |
[02:11.26] | 'And she's a very good girl now,isn't she?She doesn't get into trouble these days. |
[02:18.26] | I'm sure she helps you a lot with the housework,Marilla.' |
[02:22.29] | 'Yes,I don't know what I'd do without her,'said Marilla,smiling. |
[02:28.34] | 'And look at her!Those beautiful grey eyes,and that red-brown hair! |
[02:35.98] | You know,Marilla,I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. |
[02:43.47] | But now I see I was wrong.You've looked after her very well.' |
[02:49.48] | 'Well,thank you,Rachel,'replied Marilla,pleased. |
[02:54.98] | That evening,when Matthew came into the kitchen,he saw that his sister was crying. |
[03:02.35] | 'What's the matter?'he asked,surprised. |
[03:07.29] | 'You haven't cried since…well,I can't remember when.' |
[03:13.39] | 'It's just…well,I was thinking about Anne,'said Marilla. |
[03:21.23] | 'I'll…I'll miss her when she goes away.' |
[03:27.33] | 'When she goes to Queen's,you mean? |
[03:31.29] | Yes,but she can come home at weekends,on the train.' |
[03:36.11] | 'I'll still miss her,'said Marilla sadly. |
[03:42.30] | In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlotte-town to take their examinations. |
[03:51.23] | 'Oh,I do hope that I've done well,' |
[03:55.78] | Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. |
[03:59.44] | 'The examinations were very difficult. |
[04:04.32] | And I've got to wait for three weeks before I know!Three weeks!I'll die!' |
[04:12.78] | Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. |
[04:16.49] | But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla.That was very important to her. |
[04:23.94] | Diana was the first to hear the news. |
[04:29.04] | She ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, |
[04:33.90] | 'Look,Anne!It's in Father's newspaper! |
[04:38.22] | You're first…with Gilbert…out of all the students on the island! |
[04:46.92] | Oh,how wonderful!'Anne took the paper with shaking hands, |
[04:53.95] | and saw her name,at the top of the list of two hundred.She could not speak. |
[05:02.79] | 'Well,now,I knew it,'said Matthew with a warm smile. |
[05:09.87] | 'You've done well,I must say,Anne,'said Marilla,who was secretly very pleased. |
[05:18.65] | For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy. |
[05:24.13] | Anne needed new dresses to take to Charlottetown. |
[05:29.18] | The evening before she left,she put on one of her new dresses to show Matthew. |
[05:35.75] | Marilla watched the happy young face. |
[05:40.07] | She remembered the strange,thin little child,with her sad eyes, |
[05:45.86] | who arrived at Green Gables five years ago,and she started crying quietly. |
[05:52.61] | 'Marilla,why are you crying?'asked Anne. |
[05:58.73] | 'I was just thinking of you when you were a little girl,'said Marilla. |
[06:07.56] | 'And…you're going away now…and I'll be lonely without you.' |
[06:15.36] | Anne took Marilla's face in her hands,'Marilla,nothing will change. |
[06:24.21] | Perhaps I'm bigger and older now,but I'll always be your little Anne. |
[06:31.25] | And I'll love you and Matthew and Green Gables more every day of my life.' |
[06:39.17] | Marilla could not say what she felt,like Anne,but she could show it. |
[06:46.90] | She put her arms round her girl and held her close to her heart. |
[06:52.69] | And so for the next year Anne lived in Charlottetown,and went to college every day. |
[07:01.71] | She sometimes came home at weekends,but she had to study hard. |
[07:08.91] | Some of her Avonlea friends were at Queen's too,and also her enemy,Gilbert Blythe. |
[07:16.72] | Anne saw that he often walked and talked with other girls. |
[07:22.24] | She felt sure that she and Gilbert could have some interesting conversations. |
[07:27.61] | But she didn't want to be the first to speak to him,and he never looked at her. |
[07:34.59] | There were examinations at the end of the college year,in May. |
[07:40.94] | Anne studied very hard for them. |
[07:45.14] | 'I'd love to get the first place,'she thought.'Or perhaps I could get the Avery prize.' |
[07:53.34] | This was a prize for the student who was best at English writing, |
[07:59.18] | and Anne knew she was good at that. |
[08:02.92] | The Avery prize paid for a free place for four years at Redmond College, |
[08:09.90] | one of the best colleges in Canada. |
[08:13.63] | When news of the examinations came,Anne waited for her friends to tell her. |
[08:20.30] | She heard shouting.'It's Gilbert!He's the first!'She felt ill. |
[08:27.90] | But just then she heard another shout.'Anne Shirley's got the Avery!' |
[08:34.35] | And then all the girls were round her,laughing and shouting. |
[08:39.00] | 'Matthew and Marilla will be pleased!'thought Anne. |
[08:44.16] | 'Now I can go on studying,and they won't have to pay!' |
[00:02.01] | 5 Queen' s College |
[00:05.45] | One day Marilla said,' Anne, your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday. |
[00:15.54] | She says you must study for the examinations for Queen' s College in two years' time. |

[02:04.03] | Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day. |
[02:07.23] | ' You' re right, Rache!' said Marilla in surprise. |
[02:11.26] | ' And she' s a very good girl now, isn' t she? She doesn' t get into trouble these days. |
[02:18.26] | I' m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.' |

[03:02.35] | ' What' s the matter?' he asked, surprised. |
