smell as sweet sweet but I was never
able to believe it a rose just couldn't
smell as sweet if it was called a
thistle or skunk
cabbage look

the better of me I suppose you're like

soul all right you kids everyone settled
down imagine making the most Scrump

cake so you add two cups of sugar and 1
and 1/2 cups of flour and it makes the
most lusious devil's food cake close

boiler don't you understand you Loth for
steaming incinerator with
freezing I'm in no quandre qualifying
for being a blue
BL of course the decor SE lost their
fortunes just like you did Madam I did
not lose my fortune darling departed
David the fool that gambled it all away
and imprison me in this moldering pile
of bricks will I I have no intention of
living out the last of my days in
nameless
destitution in this decaying
overrun I kill for a small
fortune W
Tupper if it if it pleases you
madam it doesn't please me at all get
out
get I can't go be to your
noil or I to I'm an
aristocrat descended from the famous
Laro
l oh no
please did you say laru my mother's
father's brother
wife was Lucille
Laro the lucil
Laro the wealthiest woman in
Montreal lucil Laro was like a mother to
me she never mentioned the likes of
anyone like
you who were your
parents tragically they were lost at sea
when I was but an infant so I became the
sole heir to their great
Fortune but my Aunt Lucille was
ruthless she imprisoned me in a tower
and died before
confessing the woman never did know how
to handle
children are you related to
Theo uh well not
exactly she has red hair distinct to the
Laro bloodline
no one has ever believed me you are the
first person who has ever acknowledged
my hair it has been my lifelong sorrow
that gutter snipe doesn't have a noble
bone in her body if she really is a Laro
I have a way to get money at last their
Fortune is renowned who have been tied
up for
years my dear ass
yes it might be opportune to take the
trouble to try to prove who you are oh
then I could leave the orphanage
couldn't I and be adopted by a really
really good family who love me of course
dear child who wouldn't adopt a famous
Laro Mavis Mak certain this delightful
child is well taken care of
well
boys keep an eye on
her you're no Aristocrat do you have any
idea of the Havoc you'll cause I simply
cannot fathom another day in a desolate
place like this pel is going to eat you
alive when she finds out you let her
on Madam seems so
sympathetic what are you you think
hopefully you can really truly prove
your little story an if you only had a
broach like that one there in the book
that old battle axe is like a magnet to
money you're going to be her lunch
ticket don't e that you silly squirrel
here try
these hey
fellas Chow Down
oh I'll probably never get out of
here at least I can Comfort myself
knowing I had a mother that really loved
me I see her reflection every time I
look at
this it's the most precious of precious
jewels in my eyes it's worth more to me
than
rubies huh
and
and oh Mavis I was in the middle of the
most wonderful dream name shh we have to
go now before
Daybreak
hey you remember that lad Charlie I want
you to take this
ticket it's already been paid for by an
elderly couple who ordered a boy to live
on their
farm this ticket is for the boat this
ticket is for the train no this ticket
is for the boat and oh just take them

going Prince Edward Island Prince Edward

sound of it you'll catch the first ship

I only hope they can dissolve this dream
world you live in
go on now don't
dawle
byebye of course I know the Fortune's
been tied up in closed bank accounts for
years but I have evidence ever I will
not be talked to like that oh forget it
Madam I still don't understand how that
girl can help all she has is her books
and some worthless trinket trinket what
do you mean trinket she was just playing
with the thing like it was nothing was
it set on a brooch or a ring yes how
would you know you never s it that child
may be completely unaware of its value

get off feel sick well how do you plan
on doing that jump stop you'll drown

morning
Matthew has the 11:30 come through been
and gone
hm are you Mr Matthew
cert well now I I suppose I am you look
so kind and honorable I've so longed for
a kindly Guardian my life has been
filled with nothing but the most
ruthless of
people
um I was afraid you weren't coming for
me I thought I might have to sleep up in
that big cherry
tree with all those white blossoms I
could imagine I was dwelling in marble
halls well now uh I don't know you're um
not quite what we was
expecting I don't imagine you
were no one ever expects girls with red
hair
what a beautiful soral may wait till
your sister sees this oh merilla can
handle
it oh let me carry it it holds all my
worldly goods and I have a knack of
carrying it so it doesn't spill well
now I've heard Prince Edward Island is
the most beautiful place in
Canada oh I just wish this drive could
go on forever and
ever oh it's so wonderful I'm going to
live with you and belong to you well now
I don't
know why are the roads red Mr
C I don't know
am I talking too much people are always
telling me I do
what I can stop if I make my mind up to
it you can talk all you
like oh just now I feel pretty nearly
perfectly
happy I can't feel exactly perfectly
happy because well what color would you
call this
this
red that's why I can't ever be perfectly
happy I know I'm skinny and a little
freckled but I can imagine I have a
beautiful rose leaf
complexion which would you rather be
divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever
or angelically done
h hold on Mr CER who SL him station
Master thinks they're adopting a
girl lady oh my
goodness a girl how the Devil is a girl
going to help Matthew work the farm
boy oh boy oh Mr cuber Prince Edward
Island is far more glorious than I could
ever imagine oh come back oh Mr cuber
this is too beautiful to be real and
wait I can't help
myself oh hello Mr cubert isn't that the
most spectacular ular
castle where it's gone now oh there goes
a Spanish gallion drifting across the
Seven
Seas what well yes I I suppose it is
life can be so desolate imagining things
alone oh Bri
brother here we are Green
Gables oh it's as white as a cloud
castle your home is a castle Mr
cber well I I I suppose it is
shh oh I've pinched myself so many times
today to make sure this was real but it
is
real and we're
home Matthew cuber who is
that it's it's a girl I can see that
where's the
boy well there weren't any not I
couldn't just leave her there well girl
this is a fine kettle of fish Milla look
after matters yourself that's what or
you're never safe from Surprise till
you're dead you don't want me oh brother
they want a boy hush up this is the most
tragical thing that has ever happened to
me I warned you merilla orphans are
playing risky you send her back that's a
consideration what is there to consider
l awful heart did anyone ever see such
freckles she's terribly skinny and
homely merilla and her hair is as red as
carrots you old windbag how dare you
call me skinny and homely you're rude
unfeeling woman and I hate
you listen here young lady no you listen
here how would you like to have nasty
things said about you how would you like
to be told that you're fat and ugly
that's enough and you probably don't
even have a spark of imagination in
you you mark my words merilla that's the
kind puts strick nine in the well you
shouldn't have tweeted her about her
looks handsome is as handsome does
merilla goodbye but don't expect me to
return here with this little vixen under
your
roof why would you bring this child here
and get her hopes up she hadn't any
right to speak to me that
way what is your name
child could you call me
Cordelia Cordelia is that your
name it's not exactly my name but I
would love to be called
Cordelia it's such a perfectly elegant
name what is your name and no more
nonsense and surely plain old unromantic
and surely Fiddlesticks it's a fine
sensible name oh I'm not ashamed of it
but if you must call me an Please spell
it with an E an with an E looks much
more distinguished on a letter head you
won't be writing any letters from here
and surely I no intention of keeping a
child who's never been taught what's
right Rachel Lind is too outspoken but
she is a neighbor and a friend and you
will go to her and apologize you could
shut me up in a dark Dam dungeon and
hited by snakes and toads and you can
feed me on bread and water and I won't
complain but I could never forgive Mrs
Lind if you expect to remain under this
roof for the night you'll apologize then
you'll have to send me back fine go
upstairs first room on the right and
stay there till we're ready to go back
to to the
station you're nuts that woman called me
ugly and made fun of my hair you cause
all your own problems you know that
she's a real interesting little thing
she'd be company for you I'm not
suffering for company I'd say you got a
50/50 chance she's no no they need a boy
we won't turn her out tonight but
tomorrow morning it's straight back to
where she came from
well now she's no good for us we might
be some good to
her come

4 years I guess you're leaving then oh

woman I hear grout orphanage is awful
Bleak and seeing how it's terrible
Lonesome around here most days couldn't
you just smooth it over you don't want
me to

cubert we can't let Mrs slnn come
between us I don't have to be really
sorry I just need to remove the disgrace
I've caused for Miss cper don't tell her
I said anything wild horses can drag it
from
me
hey well finally you listen to someone
else's voice other than your
own oh stay with me Bailey the sooner
I'm out of your hair the sooner I eat

have a friend who can see the forest for
the
trees I'm really sorry I lost my temper
and said those rude things Miss cubert
I'm willing to go and tell Mrs Lindo
that's a wise
decision I'll take you over first thing
in the
morning oh Mrs Lind I'm extremely what
are you chattering about now I'm just
imagining what I must say to Mrs Lind oh
oh miss CPR you look elegant you don't
make an important visit in farm
clothes I think purple amethysts are
just lovely that's what I used to
imagine diamonds were like oh for pity
sake and Shirley come along
oh
no this child has something to say to
you Rachel oh Mrs Lind I'm so extremely
sorry I've disgraced my good friends
who've let me stay at Green
Gables even though I'm not a boy what
you said was true I am skinny and ugly
what I said about you is true too only I
shouldn't have said
it you wouldn't be so cruel as to
inflict a lifelong sorrow on a poor
orphan would
you you can't imagine the treatment I've
endured yelling and beating all the time
for things I didn't even
do I know I talk too much but imagine
what it'd be like if you had nobody to
talk to I've had to sleep in Barns and
under steps because people like me are
not allowed to sleep in the house please
Mrs Lenn I know I'm
disadvantaged you're a good Christian
woman please Mrs Lyn please forgive
me please please forgive me Mrs Lind
there there child of course I forgive
you you mustn't mind me I'm known
throughout these parts as a woman who
speaks her mind of course you've decided
to keep her
merilla
well laws Marilla all this girl needs is
discipline and a proper
education get her into school so she can
meet some civilized children her own age
uh Poss possibly Rachel Matthew and I
need to discuss the matter then off you
go home right now merilla cuffer and
speak with
him thank you Mrs Lind I shall always
think of you as a
benefactress since I had to do it I
thought I might as well do it
thoroughly save your thoroughness for
prayer God rewards good behavior in the
first place more than theatrical
apologies
afterward oh the reward I've longed for
all my life in addition to a family is
to have a bosom friend a what kind of
friend a bosom friend a really kindred
spirit I have imagined her in my dreams
don't you ever imagine things
differently
no I do not oh miss cubert how much you
miss an God may have forgiven you for
having an oversized imagination thus far
in your life but his wrath could be
terrible if you ever try anything like
that
again Lo see what I mean hurry
hurry up an chores don't wait for the
sun to
shine they said for a boy but then I was
a girl my dreaming had just let me down
again they came as a queen with long
eony hair and maybe theyd feel I was
worth it for
them
huh I'm a good worker in spite of my
talking I long to belong here for all of
my life don't send me away without
seeing what I see everything I touch is
full of delight I'll do my best to not
let you down I can imagine a world full
of joy just give me your hand and I'll
teach you to hope you'll find that I
have something
worthwhile just let me stay here and
I'll love you forever

smiles and
and I was just distracted Miss cir I

thing about me I never do the same wrong

supper if she does stay I won't have you
interfering with my methods
I'll say one thing about her she can
talk a Blue Streak till
Sundown wouldn't that be a change around
here oh please tell me if I'm to stay I
just can't bear it any longer you'll
have to bear it because we're putting
you on trial you may not be happy with
old folks like us oh I would be even
happier than than I could imagine at
this present
moment now upstairs and don't forget to
say your
prayers say your prayers like the old
lady said and get the bed Mrs Hammond
said God made my hair red on purpose and
I've never cared for him since besides
if I really wanted to pray I'd look up
into the sky and imagine it was the Dome
of a great Cathedral hey back to Earth
screw ball who who are you talking
to uh God dear gracious Heavenly Father
please let the cits like me I know I'm
not a boy but I could work just as
hard yours truly and surely

difference I expect God will Overlook it

before just as easy to take you out as
put you
in for pity sake don't make any of your
startling speeches heaven knows what
Rachel said about you already oh I

Green how will you be able to look at
yourself ever again
Bailey oh dear

what you've done I only wanted a taste
not a bath oh Bailey Miss cuer told me
not to stick my fingers in minut it do
you expect her to serve a dessert that a
squirrel's been swimming in don't get up

schol oh what's the
use great
Jehosaphat Miss
King You've outdone yourself
merilla some dessert M please I need
fortification after a day like today
I'm afraid I can't recommend the pudding
sauce an you haven't even tried it she's
a peculiar child I can tell you that I
understand the girl has never been to a
proper school before I must say her
conduct
today don't don't eat this
skin I found a squirrel in the sauce
today a squirrel I was working up the
courage to tell you and almost cfort all
day my hair has conspired to send me
back the gr
orphanage well no point ignoring it
merilla that's some unruly head of
hair what's so
funny you I really am trying to over
overcome my fault if you only knew you'd
give me some
credit what were you going to say about
an in School Miss King I was saying
that her conduct today showed
attentiveness she's a very bright child
but she could certainly benefit from a
good education if given the
opportunity I only hope she takes to
Heart the lessons she's learned today oh
I will miss King on pain of death I
will lucky for you it's only a rinse
gone bad a quart of vinegar will fix it
now I smell like a
pickle close your mouth for once oh I
would miss cathbert but my conscience
compels me to reveal another
truth I ConEd my slate on Gilbert bl's
head today hard
very hard I'm afraid merilla walloped
Gilbert's father plenty of times when
she was a
girl I never thought I'd be so glad to
see the sight of red what a way to
behave your first day in Miss King's
class that story will make good fodder
for everyone who has something to say
about you and John BL
merilla I think maybe we are Kindred
Spirits after all oh miss C let's just
leave it at that my prayers have been
answered you can calm down because
you're not going a harvest Ball is for
adults not children you may attend the
fair in the afternoon but The Minister's
going to be there give in a dress that's
almost the same as a sermon there will
be plenty of balls when you're
older there how do you like it I can
imagine I like it but it's really not
very pretty I will not waste material on
ridiculous looking Frills and fur
Billows please oh please can't I go to
the ball Diana's asked me to sleep over
and be her guest of honor it's an honor
you can just for go now outside and
finish your chores while I finish the
dress just because you never attended a
ball don't mean you have to be so hard
on her that little might needs all the
charity we can give her remember what we
agreed on raising her Matthew you got no
reason to raise her as rigid as girls in
your day besides a harvest ball happens
one once a year and I think she ought to
go can I help you Mr Cuthbert well um

point red hair indicates an impossibly
strong bloodline in the laru

smooth don't move a thing you fools I'll

plan I've waited a lifetime to see my
weering wealth renewed Mavis you're in
charge now any steps out of line lock
them in the cellar I won't let it slip

orphanage and Matthew and I promised you

Harvest ball holds an Allure for me in
the pale light of my departure from
Green Gables
did you touch my amethyst
brooch uh uh uh tell me the
truth I I I pinched on the puff sleeve
dress just to see what it would look
like you had no business
meddling I put it right back on the pin
cushion in that very box
honestly the brooch is gone and you were
the last to handle it
I promise I put it back Miss CER you are
telling me a falsehood and unless you
confess I cannot fathom the wrath of God
that will fall on your
shoulders if only she told me the truth
I'd be inclined to Stand My Ground and
try to keep her are you sure it didn't
fall under the table or behind the
sideboard I've moved every stick of
furniture we might as well face it
Matthew we were too
hasty leave her in her room until
morning Jewel thieves and I need your
help well I never turned down an
adventure pull on this and Hoot like an

sickening feeling that they think I'm an
heir to a vast
Fortune an you have the most Sensational
stories

secret if she was to be burned at the
stake Felix Miss cuir and Mrs Barry and
I have been worried

merilla honest Mrs Barry they're fakes

Diana certainly isn't capable of such
Antics Mr King those boys should be
tired and feathered Diana is as guilty
as the others I can remember remember
some midnight ramblings when you were a
girl oh so it's my fault is it well
merilla and surely is a conniving
manipulative child and she's been
successful I can see at pulling the wall
over your eyes if you didn't insist on
this child is under our roof because of
our belief that we could make a
difference in her life having a midnight
Adventure is far less sinful than
meddling in other people's
Affairs that woman is the most pigheaded
unreasonable excuse for a self-important
neighbor I ever knew oh miss cber that
brooch meant a great deal to
me just tell me the truth I'm ready to
confess I took the roach I admit because
I was too overcome with temptation I wed
across the foot bridge at Barry's Pond
to show Diana but while I was admiring
it in the sunlight it slipped from my
fingers and sank beneath the
waves and that's the best I can do at
confessing now will you keep
me you can pack your bags in the morning
you said you'd stand your ground for me
if I told the
truth I don't know whatever possessed me
an was looking forward to this my dear
brother an Shirley can wait at the train
station for a Month of Sundays until
grout orphanage or her relatives or
whoever wants her come to retrieve
her this is the darkest day of my entire
life how you two could have had her in
your clutches and let her slip away as
Beyond me there was a whole pack of
Brats man when you want something done
