[00:01.720] | Chapter6 Matthew and Marilla |
[00:06.410] | But when she arrived back at Green Gables, |
[00:10.100] | Anne knew at once that something was wrong. |
[00:13.440] | Matthew looked much older than before. |
[00:17.980] | 'What's the matter with him?'Anne asked Marilla. |
[00:23.130] | 'He's had some heart trouble this year,'replied Marilla. |
[00:28.690] | 'He really isn't well.I'm worried about him.' |
[00:33.770] | 'And you're not looking well,Marilla,'said Anne. |
[00:38.460] | 'Now you must rest,while I do the housework.' |
[00:42.720] | Marilla smiled tiredly at Anne. |
[00:46.740] | 'It's not the work,it's my head.It often hurts,behind my eyes. |
[00:54.330] | I must see the doctor about it soon. |
[00:57.670] | But another thing,Anne,have you heard any-thing about the Church Bank?' |
[01:04.630] | 'I heard it was having a difficult time.' |
[01:08.980] | 'All our money is in that bank.I know Matthew's worried about it.' |
[01:14.910] | The next morning a letter came for Matthew. |
[01:20.920] | Marilla saw his grey face and cried,'What's the matter,Matthew?' |
[01:26.520] | Anne,who was bringing an armful of flowers into the kitchen, |
[01:32.630] | saw his face too.Suddenly,Matthew fell to the ground. |
[01:37.830] | Anne dropped her flowers and ran to help Marilla. |
[01:42.710] | Together they tried everything,but it was too late.Matthew was dead. |
[01:51.070] | 'It was his heart,'said the doctor,who arrived a little later. |
[01:57.850] | 'Did he have any bad news suddenly?' |
[02:00.910] | 'The letter!'cried Anne.'Shall I see what's in it?Oh Marilla,look! |
[02:10.330] | The Church Bank has had to close down!Your money,and Matthew's,has all gone!' |
[02:18.230] | Everybody in Avonlea was sorry to hear that Matthew was dead. |
[02:24.710] | For the first time in his life,Matthew Cuthbert was an important person. |
[02:31.100] | At first Anne couldn't cry. |
[02:35.020] | But then she remembered Matthew's smiling face when she told him about the Avery prize. |
[02:41.730] | Suddenly she started crying and couldn't stop. |
[02:47.090] | Marilla held her in her arms and they sobbed together. |
[02:52.200] | 'Crying can't bring him back,'whispered Marilla. |
[02:58.210] | 'We'll have to learn to live without him,Anne.' |
[03:02.780] | *** |
[03:05.340] | In the next few weeks Anne and Marilla |
[03:08.730] | worked hard together on the farm and in the house. |
[03:12.700] | Everybody in Avonlea was very kind to them,but it was a sad time. |
[03:19.270] | One day Marilla said,'I'll miss you when you go to Red-mond College,Anne. |
[03:26.170] | What are the other Avonlea students going to do?' |
[03:30.400] | 'Some of them are going to teach,and some are going to stay at Queen's.' |
[03:38.270] | 'Gilbert's going to teach at Avonlea school,isn't he?' |
[03:42.230] | Anne didn't reply,so Marilla went on. |
[03:47.200] | 'He's very tall and good-looking now,don't you think? |
[03:52.910] | Like his father,John,when he was younger. |
[03:58.070] | You know,John and I were very good friends,years ago.' |
[04:02.380] | Anne looked up,interested.'What happened?Why didn't you…?' |
[04:09.970] | 'Well,we had a fight about something. |
[04:14.090] | He asked me to be friends again,but I couldn't forgive him. |
[04:18.870] | Later I was sorry,but he didn't speak to me again. |
[04:23.700] | Perhaps we…Oh well,it was a long time ago.' |
[04:29.970] | The next day Marilla went to see the doctor. |
[04:35.190] | When she came back,she looked very tired and ill. |
[04:39.970] | 'What did the doctor say?'asked Anne worriedly. |
[04:45.770] | 'He says I mustn't read or write,and I must wear glasses. |
[04:53.490] | Then my head won't hurt.But if I'm not very careful,I'll be blind in six months!' |
[05:02.360] | For a minute Anne was silent.Then she said firmly,'Then you must be careful,Marilla.' |
[05:12.270] | 'Think how terrible it is to be blind! |
[05:17.190] | But how lucky you've got a free place at Redmond College! |
[05:22.120] | I can't give you any money,you see.All our money's gone,and I can't work now. |
[05:30.050] | I think I'll have to sell the farm,and go and live with Rachel Lynde!' |
[05:36.690] | And poor Marilla sobbed wildly. |
[05:41.770] | That night Anne sat alone in her bedroom. |
[05:46.640] | She thought and thought for some time,and then she smiled. |
[05:52.520] | When she went to bed,she knew what she was going to do. |
[05:59.180] | The next day she explained it all to Marilla. |
[06:04.220] | 'You can't sell Green Gables,it's our home! |
[06:10.350] | Just listen,I've planned everything. |
[06:14.850] | I'm not going to Redmond College,it's too far away. |
[06:20.590] | I'm going to teach,in one of the village schools near here. |
[06:25.840] | Then I can live there during the week and come home at weekends to look after you. |
[06:32.720] | Diana's father will use our fields and pay us for them, |
[06:38.680] | And so we'll have some money.You see?' |
[06:42.610] | 'Oh Anne!I'll be all right if you're here. |
[06:48.740] | But you must go to Redmond,if you want to study…' |
[06:53.020] | 'Redmond College doesn't matter,'laughed Anne. |
[06:59.680] | 'I'm going to study at home in the evenings. |
[07:03.520] | And I'm going to be a really good teacher!That's better than anything!' |
[07:10.570] | Marilla shook her head and tried not to cry. |
[07:15.420] | 'You're a good girl,Anne.Now we can keep Green Gables!' |
[07:22.720] | A few days later Rachel Lynde came to the farm. |
[07:29.450] | 'Do you know,'she said,'that Gilbert isn't going to be the Avonlea teacher now?' |
[07:38.220] | 'Isn't he?'cried Anne.'Why not?' |
[07:43.960] | 'When he heard that you wanted to be near Marilla, |
[07:48.220] | He decided to teach at a school in another village. |
[07:52.560] | So you can be the Avonlea teacher now.' |
[07:56.010] | 'Oh!'said Anne,surprised.'That's…that's very kind of him.' |
[08:04.030] | And that day,when she saw Gilbert by the river,she stopped him and held out her hand. |
[08:12.800] | 'Gilbert,'she said shyly,'I…I want to thank you.It's very good of you. |
[08:24.140] | If I'm the Avonlea teacher,I can help Marilla much more at home.' |
[08:31.460] | 'I'm happy to help you,Anne,'said Gilbert. |
[08:37.060] | He smiled and held her hand firmly.'Are we going to be friends now? |
[08:44.210] | Have you forgiven me for calling you"carrots"?' |
[08:48.410] | Anne laughed.'I forgave you a long time ago.' |
[08:54.420] | 'I'm sure we're going to be very good friends,Anne.Can I walk home with you?' |
[09:02.000] | And when Anne came into the Green Gables kitchen,Marilla said, |
[09:08.230] | 'You look very happy,Anne.Was that Gilbert who was with you just now?' |
[09:15.030] | 'Yes,'replied Anne,her face red.'Gilbert and I've decided to be friends. |
[09:24.310] | Oh Marilla,I think life is going to be good for all of us! |
[09:30.090] | We'll have to work hard,but we'll be happy. |
[09:34.290] | And we'll keep our dear old Green Gables!What could be better than that!' |
[00:01.720] | Chapter6 Matthew and Marilla |

[07:15.420] | ' You' re a good girl, Anne. Now we can keep Green Gables!' |
[07:22.720] | A few days later Rachel Lynde came to the farm. |
[07:29.450] | ' Do you know,' she said,' that Gilbert isn' t going to be the Avonlea teacher now?' |
[07:38.220] | ' Isn' t he?' cried Anne.' Why not?' |
[07:43.960] | ' When he heard that you wanted to be near Marilla, |
[07:48.220] | He decided to teach at a school in another village. |
[07:52.560] | So you can be the Avonlea teacher now.' |
[07:56.010] | ' Oh!' said Anne, surprised.' That' s that' s very kind of him.' |
[08:04.030] | And that day, when she saw Gilbert by the river, she stopped him and held out her hand. |
[08:12.800] | ' Gilbert,' she said shyly,' I I want to thank you. It' s very good of you. |
[08:24.140] | If I' m the Avonlea teacher, I can help Marilla much more at home.' |
[08:31.460] | ' I' m happy to help you, Anne,' said Gilbert. |
[08:37.060] | He smiled and held her hand firmly.' Are we going to be friends now? |
[08:44.210] | Have you forgiven me for calling you" carrots"?' |
[08:48.410] | Anne laughed.' I forgave you a long time ago.' |
[08:54.420] | ' I' m sure we' re going to be very good friends, Anne. Can I walk home with you?' |
[09:02.000] | And when Anne came into the Green Gables kitchen, Marilla said, |
[09:08.230] | ' You look very happy, Anne. Was that Gilbert who was with you just now?' |
[09:15.030] | ' Yes,' replied Anne, her face red.' Gilbert and I' ve decided to be friends. |
[09:24.310] | Oh Marilla, I think life is going to be good for all of us! |
[09:30.090] | We' ll have to work hard, but we' ll be happy. |
[09:34.290] | And we' ll keep our dear old Green Gables! What could be better than that!' |
