Episode Title:
Let Us Look on the Bright Side of Things
Episode Description:
Anne recalls that Mr. Phillips is leaving and that Ruby said goodbye to him while she cried. She notes they met the minister and his wife afterward, expressing her admiration of the woman's clothing, including puffed sleeves. Later, Anne and the other girls play a game where they dare each other to do things, with Diana walking on one foot and Josie walking on top of a fence. Despite the pleas from Diana, Anne climbs a ladder onto the roof so she can walk the ridgepole, saying her honor is at stake, and ends up falling, injuring her ankle in the process. She is on bed rest for six weeks, during which she is visited by people on the island. Diana brings The Rosebud Garden by Charlotte E. Morgan. After she has fully recovered, Anne returns to school and meets the new teacher, Ms. Stacy. At lunchtime, she eats with some of the girls. Anne receives a dress with puffed sleeves for her recitation at the Christmas concert, "Recollections," and gets over her stage fright when seeing Marilla and Matthew there. Anne gives Diana confidence before she sings The Island Hymn. Afterward, Anne and Diana praise one another, and it's revealed that Gilbert picked up a rose that had been in Anne's hair. Matthew and Marilla agree that Anne should go to Queen's Academy.
