Anne Shirley episode 18 brief recap

Titled I Feel as if I Had Opened a Book and Found Roses of Yesterday, Sweet and Beloved, Between Its Leaves, the episode began with one of Anne's childhood friends, Charlie Sloane, proposing to her. He had admired her and wanted to take her as his wife, but she rejected him, causing him to insult her.

As she digested the awkward encounter in her room, Priscilla came bearing news. It was a letter from Stella, from their Queen's Academy days. She had been a teacher in a backcountry school, but was coming to Redmond College. The girl propositioned her friends to rent a place together over taking a boarding.

Excited, Anne and Priscilla hunted Kingsport for a fitting house, but had no luck. But the former remembered Patty's Place, and to their good fortune, it was available to let. Initially, its owners were against the idea. However, Anne's words about the house moved them, and they agreed to rent it to them for a cheaper fee.

The next bit of the episode witnessed Anne travel to Bolingbroke with Philippa. Besides finally dropping by to see the redhead's place, Anne planned to visit the home of her parents. Upon arriving, she was greeted by Alec and Alonzo, Philippa's admirers. The rest of the day flew by and ended with jamboree night.

A day later, Anne and Philippa, map in hand, set off to the former's first home. Visibly nervous, Anne had imagined that it would be abandoned and left without care. But her hesitation was dispelled when she saw the house. Its garden blossomed with lilacs and lilies, and its windows had muslin cloth curtains.

Venturing forth, the pair were greeted by a kind old woman who allowed them a good look inside and handed Anne a bunch of letters as she left. That day, back at her boarding, she read them one by one and learned of her parents. Her mother and father had loved her dearly, and she truly was no orphan.

Anne's journey to Bolingbroke was a beautiful one, having learned of her past and about her parents. Anne Shirley episode 19 may see the redhead return once more to Avonlea, as she does when possible. But once again, each of her visits has witnessed some sort of happening. In this instance, previews suggest that Anne will learn of a dear friend, Ruby Gillis' illness.

Her childhood friend looks to be afflicted with a certain kind of sickness that may not allow her to live long. It will be another instance for Anne in how fleeting life can be. While there will be joy at her return, there will also be sadness and despair at this unfortunate development.
