Anne with an E

Mr. Cuthbert, do you know where she's headed?

The orphanage.

There she is.

Make way, make way! Hi!

Did she run away?

No.

How did she seem?

Quiet.

She was real quiet.

Didn't say a word.

Miss. Miss.

Right this way, miss.

Who are you?

I'm supposed to fetch you, miss.

I don't understand. Who sent you?

Why, your family, of course. Now right this way, little lady.

My family? They sent me to collect you

and bring you straight home. We'll be there in a jiff.

Let go of me. Quickly now. Let's hurry up.

I've got some lovely sweets in my carriage for the ride.

Get away from me!

Ahem. Uh... hello, young masters.

I've been sent to take you home.

Oh, good evening.

I was wondering if you could spare a fresh horse?

Sorry, sir, don't have one to lend.

Mine's dead beat and I need to get to Charlottetown.

Please! Any horse will do.

Sorry, but I can't oblige you, sir.

I'm good for it. I'll bring the money when I return.

Sir... I live in Avonlea at Green Gables...

Money or not, I'm afraid I can't help you.

These here belong to the guests

and the hotels are spoken for this evening.

You're welcome to rest yours here for a spell, though.

Sam! Sam!

Sam!

Sam! Vessel? Whoa. Whoa there.

Matthew Cuthbert, whatever's got you all twisted up?

Are you heading to the vessel?

Yes, we're riding to the port overnight. Be there by daybreak.

Can I hitch a ride? I need to get to Charlottetown!

I'm not riding in back. No worries at all.

Much obliged.

Mare!

I told you that brooch meant a great deal to me.

Confess at once. But I didn't take it.

Or I'll send you right back to the asylum.

I took the brooch outside with me. I lost it.

Tomorrow you will go. I can't trust one word out of your mouth.

But I made that up! Please, Miss Cuthbert!

Enough!

Shut your face from now on!

We're sick of you and your stupid stories.

Hold her down. Please, don't!

stupid stories. Squeak, squeak, squeak

Princess Cordelia Stop!

Anne Shirley! Stop it at once! Stop it! You get in there!

Quickly now!

Quick!

Quick!

Whoa, easy, easy! I'm sorry, Miss Cuthbert, I was not quite finished.

Oh, please hurry! Continue with the barn work.

Stack some wood in the kitchen. I have to go!

Marilla!

Marilla!

I have to go!

Wait! Wait!

Wait.

Thomas rode out at first light. I came to tell you.

Where is he going? Why, to look for them.

Only reason I could see for Matthew

tearing off yesterday was to fetch Anne.

When we didn't see them return, I was so worried...

Please step aside, Rachel.

I knew you'd be beside yourself. I need to go! I must go now!

No, listen, dear. Thomas will ride all the way to the train station.

He'll check the road as he goes.

What if he's lying dead in a ditch?!

Marilla... What if they both are?

Enough now!

What if something horrible has happened and it's my fault...

Stop it, Marilla.

Boy!

Thomas is miles ahead of you. Now the only thing to do now is to wait.

Take the rig back in. Yes, ma'am.

Give me your hand.

Watch your step.

Careful now.

Be careful.

Now...

come along inside.

We'll put the kettle on.

Hello, Mr. Avery. Oh, goodness!

My word! Do I know you? Not yet, but I know you.

And I'm sure we'll become better acquainted on the ride.

The ride?

The matron was wondering if you wouldn't

mind taking me to the nearest train station.

I'm going home to Halifax, you see. That's where I was born.

Ah... I-I don't know if I can take ya...

It seems a wealthy aunt was just discovered and sent for me.

Isn't that wonderful?

Yes, it is, but I've got several deliveries to make...

My years of torment and uncertainty are behind me.

And I'll have to learn all manner of

comportment, but I feel equal to the task.

Certainly sounds like you're moving up in the world.

I am. I am indeed. So if you wouldn't mind

conveying me towards my new life?

It's not that I mind, but trouble is,

I've got several stops along the way.

It'll be a few hours, I'm afraid.

If you're in a hurry, you might find a

better mode. Shall we ask the matron?

No, no, no, this will be perfect.

And I'm sorry I don't have any money to pay you,

but I'll be happy to help.

Well, uh... well, al-alright. Alright.

Off me go.

So, now, what do you think?

Don't know how much I can get for it, with this here monogram.

I... I don't need much.

Then we are well met.

It's a family heirloom.

Show me something in here that ain't.

I don't know.

I'll think about it.

Why don't you come back tomorrow?

All I need is train fare for two up-island

and ferry rides back and forth to the mainland.

Any idea how much that would come to?

I'll see what I can do. Alright?

Extra, extra!

Scientist predicts greenhouse effect!

Extra, extra! Scientist predicts greenhouse effect!

What time does the ferry to Nova Scotia go?

'Round about 5:00.

Local boy loses life by drowning!

Out of the way, mister!

Ah!

And I believe my parents traveled to India and many faraway lands

before they were killed tragically in service of the queen.

You don't say.

I imagine they were ever so noble.

Easy. Easy. Whoa.

Alright, off you go.

Going!

I'm told I'm fleet of foot.

Oh, yes?

Now, I'd rather be beautiful, but you can't have everything.

Alright.

Hop! Ah...

Mm. My missus sure can bake. Huh.

I was going to learn.

The lady at my last household in Avonlea said she would teach me.

Hmm.

Doesn't matter.

Hungry?

No, no, I couldn't deprive you.

Oh, help yourself.

Got plenty.

Well...

much obliged.

Walk on.

I'm famished, actually. I haven't eaten since yesterday.

Matron trying to starve you? What?

They didn't feed you this morning?

Well... I was too preoccupied to eat.

What with my life starting over and all.

Uh-huh. What were they doing for her?

Who? Your parents, for the queen.

Oh, right.

Espionage.

There.

That's the best I cando until the doctor comes.

It's been hours. I hope bringing him here was the right thing to do.

Anne... He's waking up.

Fetch him some water.

Anne... It's alright.

You're going to be fine. What? Where...?

You had an accident. My carriage.

Oh, no, no, no, no... I can't be late.

Don't get up. You're injured. No.

The ferry. I can't miss it.

Where am I?!

Where's the ferry from here?

Hello?

Hello?

Someone?!

Hello?! Hello?!

Oh...

Oh, my word!

Please... No, d-d-don't be frightened.

Get away! You can't loiter here!

I must speak with the matron. The matron? She's not even awake.

It's an emergency. You'll have to come Ba...

No, there's been a mistake! My girl.

My little girl, she's here.

I came to fetch her.
