I WAS JUST ABOUT TO DO... WHATEVER YOU SENT ME OUT TO DO.
YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FILLED UP THAT WOOD BOX?
I HAD THE HATCHET, BUT THEN I WENT
TO LOOK DOWN THE WELL, AND IT SORT OF FELL.

I CAN READ.
"THE DUKE OF ARRANOCK HAS EXTENDED HIS STAY"
"IN NORTH AMERICA AND WILL VISIT"
"SEVERAL COMMUNITIES ON THE ISLAND."
MAYBE I CAN GET AN INTERVIEW.
"CARMODY, MARKDALE, A PRESERVES FESTIVAL, UH, WINTERFEST."

TO THE LADIES OF THE FOUNDER'S DAY COMMITTEE

WHAT'S THE MATTER, FELIX?
NOTHING.
WELL, ACTUALLY, MY FATHER SAYS
I HAVE TO LEARN THE VALUE OF HARD WORK.
YOU WORK HARD, GUS.
WHAT'S THE VALUE IN IT?
BEING YOUR OWN MAN, MAKING YOUR OWN WAY.
TAKING PRIDE IN WHAT YOU DO, EH?
IF I WERE TO GET A REAL JOB, WOULD MY FATHER BE PROUD OF ME?
COULD BE.

HEY.
MR. TREMAYNE, THE NEW OWNER
OF THE HOTEL, IS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.
I THOUGHT HE WAS LOOKING FOR A DOG.
WELL, A DOGSBODY.
SORT OF LIKE A SPECIAL ASSISTANT.
OH.
LUCKY FOR YOU, FELIX, HE DOESN'T KNOW A THING ABOUT YOU.
WHAT EXACTLY CAN YOU OFFER
THE WHITE SANDS, MASTER KING?
WELL, I WAS MORE HOPING
THAT THE WHITE SANDS COULD OFFER ME SOMETHING -- A JOB.
GUS SAYS THAT YOU NEED EXTRA HELP
FOR THE FOUNDER'S DAY BANQUET.
MASTER PIKE IS CORRECT.
HE'S A SMART FELLOW, OUR FELIX.
SO YOU DO WELL IN YOUR STUDIES?
NOT THAT KIND OF SMART, EXACTLY.
HMM.
HAVE YOU GOOD LEGS?
AH, YES, SIR, TWO OF THEM.
AND YOU CAN BE SPARED FROM YOUR FARM DUTIES?
THE JOB WILL BE QUITE DEMANDING.
YES, SIR.

YES, SIR, MR. TREMAYNE.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE FIRST LIGHT.
AND PLEASE WEAR A TIE.

I MEAN, YES, SIR.
WHAT'S MY PAY?
YOUR PAY EQUALS YOUR WORTH,
YOU YOUNG SCALLYWAG.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHAG IT GOOD NOW, FELIX KING.
NOBODY'S GOING TO BE COVERING UP FOR YOU.
WHAT'S TO COVER UP?
GUS?
HERE, DEAR.
TODAY I SAW MRS. POTTS AT THE GENERAL STORE.
AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE WAS DOING?
FATHER?
I'M SURE I DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
SHE WAS BUYING FACE POWDER AND LIP ROUGE
FOR SALLY FOR THE BANQUET.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I FORBID IT.
BUT SALLY'S THE SAME AGE AS FELICITY, FATHER.
YOU'VE NEVER USED SALLY POTTS AS A MODEL BEFORE.
IT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.
BUT I'M 16 YEARS OLD NOW, FATHER.
I SHOULD HAVE A GROWN-UP DRESS AND LIP ROUGE.
WILL I HAVE TO BEAR FOUR CHILDREN AND BE A MARRIED HAG
BEFORE YOU BELIEVE I'M GROWN UP?
WAS I JUST INSULTED?
I GOT A JOB TODAY.
A JOB? WHERE?
AT THE WHITE SANDS.
WITH PAY AND EVERYTHING.
YOU MEAN YOU WON'T LIFT A FINGER HERE,
BUT YOU'LL WORK AT THE HOTEL?
OH, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
THE BOY IS AS LAZY AS SNOW.
HE'S SHOWING SOME INITIATIVE, ALEC.
I GET PAID, FATHER.
MEALS, TOO.
YOU'LL BE FIRED FROM THIS JOB.
NO ONE ELSE WILL HIRE HIM AND--
GIVE IT YOUR BEST EFFORT, FELIX.
MAYBE YOU'LL PROVE ME WRONG.
WE'LL WANT THESE DOORKNOBS GLEAMING.
THE HOTEL IS COMPLETELY BOOKED, AND I'M EXPECTING A SOLID
COMMUNITY TURNOUT FOR THE BANQUET ITSELF.
WE MUST ENSURE THE ENTIRE STAFF IS VIGILANT.

THEY SAID THAT BREAK WASN'T OVER YET,
AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW, IT WAS LIKE A TORNADO.
WELL, THE FIRST DAY ON THE JOB
IS ALWAYS THE TOUGHEST, MASTER KING.
IS THIS BOW TIE SEWN INTO A KNOT?
YES, MY MOTHER DID THAT TO SAVE TIME ON SUNDAYS.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
WELL, MR. TREMAYNE, THERE ISN'T A MAN ON EARTH WHO CAN
TEACH ME HOW TO TIE A BOW TIE.
WELL, WE SHALL SEE ABOUT THAT.
MY FATHER TRIED TO TEACH ME,
AND IT ENDED UP I MADE HIM FORGET HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY.
ONE END LONGER THAN THE OTHER,
DOUBLE BACK THE SHORT END AND PULL THE LONG END TO TIGHTEN.
WHERE'D YOU LEARN HOW TO DO THAT?

THE LONGER END FLIPS AROUND THE SHORT AND DOUBLES OVER.
EVERYONE'S EXCITED ABOUT THE DUKE OF ARANA
COMING TO THE BANQUET.
ARRANAGH -- THE DUKE WILL NOT BE
IN ATTENDANCE, MASTER KING.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE I CHOSE NOT TO EXTEND AN INVITATION.
THREAD IT THROUGH THE BACK.
WHY NOT?
I HAVE MY REASONS.
NOW PULL BOTH ENDS TO TIGHTEN
AND ADJUST.
NOW, IF YOU CAN AVOID BEING MAULED BY THE STAFF,
I'D LIKE YOU TO DO AN INVENTORY OF PILLOWCASES.

YOU COULD HAVE HELPED ME OUT A BIT
WHEN THEY WERE PULLING ME APART THIS MORNING.
THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS NOT
LIKE THE AVONLEA SCHOOLYARD.
A MAN HAS TO MAKE IT FOR HIMSELF.
BUT WHY IS MR. TREMAYNE SO RELUCTANT TO INVITE
THE DUKE TO THE BANQUET, I WONDER?
OH, HETTY, HONESTLY, DOES ANYBODY
REALLY CARE WHOSE FAMILY WAS HERE FIRST?
HISTORY CARES, HONOUR CARES, POSTERITY CARES, AND I CARE.
OH, OLIVIA, YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, HOW CAN YOU SO BLITHELY
TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR BRAVE FOREBEARS?
WELL, I DON'T REALLY EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, JANET.
WELL, AFTER ALL, YOU WARDS
NEVER HAVE HAD A SENSE OF HISTORY AND TRADITION.
OH, US WARDS HAVE DONE
JUST FINE IN OUR OWN QUIET WAY.
OH, HELLO, FELIX.
HOW DID IT GO? ARE YOU HUNGRY?
NO, I'M DEAD TUCKERED.
ANYWAY, TO BE PERFECTLY FRANK, WHEN THE DUKE OF ARRANOCK
DOES MAKE THE PRESENTATION, IT WON'T BE TO A WARD, WILL IT?
IT WILL BE TO A KING.
SO YOU SEE, OLIVIA, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO MAKE
THE RIGHT IMPRESSION.
THE DUKE ISN'T COMING TO THE BANQUET.
OH, WHY DO YOU SAY THAT, FELIX?

IT APPEARS THAT THE IDENTITY
OF THE TRUE FOUNDING FAMILY OF AVONLEA,
HERETO SHROUDED IN THE MISTS OF TIME,
HAS ONLY RECENTLY BEEN CONFIRMED.
SO IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO ASK MRS. JANET KING
TO PLEASE STEP FORWARD...
WHAT DID HE SAY?
...AS THE REPRESENTATIVE WARD!
THE HEAD OF THE FOUNDING FAMILY OF AVONLEA.
OH, OH, OH.
ON BEHALF OF THE TOWN OF AVONLEA,
THIS ISLE OF PRINCE EDWARD,
IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO HONOUR YOU, JANET KING,
AND YOUR FAMILY, THE WARDS, AS THE FOUNDING FAMILY OF AVONLEA.
A COMMEMORATIVE SCROLL WILL BE DRAWN UP,
SIGNED AND SEALED, SO THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN
WILL REMEMBER
YOUR PROUD HERITAGE.
THANK YOU, YOUR GRACE,
AND ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY, I HUMBLY THANK YOU.
THE WARDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HARD-WORKING, PIONEERING SORTS,
AND, WELL, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THEM QUITE SPECIAL, REALLY,
IN SPITE OF WHAT SOME PEOPLE SAY,
AND I'M REALLY, DEEPLY HONOURED.
QUITE A DAY, MY LOVE.
FELIX TURNS OUT TO BE THE FINEST OF YOUNG MEN,
FELICITY TURNS OUT TO BE A GROWN WOMAN,
AND MY WIFE TURNS OUT TO BE AN IMPORTANT PERSONAGE.
WELL, ALEC, NONE OF US HAVE CHANGED, REALLY.
YOU'RE JUST SEEING US IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
[ BAGPIPES PLAYING ]
[ ADDRESSING THE HAGGIS ]
YOUR GRACE?
NO NEED TO CALL ME THAT, MISS KING.
I'M NO MORE THE DUKE OF ARRANAGH THAN I AM A TREACHEROUS THIEF.
NOR AM I AN INTERFERING, HYSTERICAL HARRIDAN!
DOES THIS MEAN YOU'LL NOT RECLAIM YOUR TITLE?
PRECISELY.
ANDREW HAS HEIRS, AND I DO NOT.
AND I LOVE AVONLEA AND MY HOTEL.
I CANNOT CONSIDER LEAVING.
I SUPPOSE I MUST MAKE AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
DID YOU SEE THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR FACES
WHEN I RENOUNCED MY TITLE AS THE DUKE OF ARRANAGH?
[ LAUGHING ]
HOW LONG DID YOU LIVE NAKED AMONGST THE ZULUS?
IT WAS A BIT
OF A PROBLEM, ACTUALLY,
BECAUSE ONCE THEY'D SEEN ME KILL THE LION WITH JUST A KNIFE,
THEY DEVELOPED AN UNREASONABLE AFFECTION FOR ME.
IT WAS TWO YEARS BEFORE I COULD ESCAPE.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE TIME
I WAS STUDYING PIG-IRON PRODUCTION TABLES AT OXFORD.
COULD YOU NOT HAVE COME HOME FOR FATHER'S FUNERAL?
ANDREW, THE MAN DISINHERITED ME,
DROVE MY MOTHER TO AN EARLY DEATH
AND THEN BANISHED ME WHILE YOU SLEPT ONE NIGHT.
ONLY RECENTLY, SINCE MAKING
A LIFE HERE IN AVONLEA,
HAVE I FOUND IT IN MY HEART TO FORGIVE HIM.
YOU NEVER RETURNED MY LETTERS.
I NEVER RECEIVED THEM -- UNTIL AFTER FATHER DIED.
AND YOU MUST BELIEVE ME, AS SOON AS I BECAME DUKE,
I HAD THE EMPIRE SCOURED FOR YOU.
I WASN'T ACTUALLY IN THE EMPIRE, YOU SEE.
I WAS WORKING FOR THE
OTTOMAN SECRET POLICE AGAINST THE RUSSIANS.
REALLY?
YOU WERE A TURKISH SPY?
OH, GOOD LORD.
WE'VE BEENERE FOR HOURS.
WE'D BETTER GET BACK TO OUR FOUNDER'S DAY GUESTS.
YOU KILLED A LION
WITH A KNIFE!
I SUPPOSE YOU EXPECT YOUR JOB BACK, MASTER KING.
THANK YOU, MR. TREMAYNE.
I APPRECIATE IT, BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
NO JOB IS WORTH LOSING GUS PIKE AS A FRIEND.
INDEED.
HE'S SORT OF MY HERO, SEE.
THEN WE MUST FIND YOU A POSITION COMMENSURATE WITH YOUR WISHES.
MASTER PIKE?
YES, SIR.
WOULD YOU KINDLY SHOW HIS GRACE BACK TO HIS ROOM, MASTER PIKE.
YES, SIR.
THIS WAY, YOUR GRACE.
