Time's up.
But sir!
I'm not finished yet ..
Miss King, you've had all the time allowed.
Gentlemen, please hand in your completed reports.
Sir!
It really isn't fair.
They're in pairs and I'm working alone,
naturally it would take me longer!
I really don't want to hear your complaints Miss King.
If you can't keep up with the work,
you don't belong in university.
The fact is young lady, women don't belong in medical school.
I have just as much right to be there as any man!
When it comes to women, they're so prejudiced!
I'm not. I like women.
Listen.
I've got an idea.
Let's go see the citadel or the Prince of Wales Tower.
I can't.
I've got errands to do.
I only have one more day in Halifax!
And all I've done is help you move so far!
Do you think it's fun moving boxes of books up
all those stairs?
Fine.
Go home.
I have so much work to do, it's only the first week
and I'm already behind.
I did everything for you!
I moved that sofa for you and I lugged that desk
back from the store, didn't I?
Hey Felicity, don't be such a grump.
Hold on!
Felicity!
Look ..! !
Hey GUS!
Gus
Hold on!
Over there ...
roses, two for a penny, roses,
ruby red roses, two blooms for a penny ...
Let go of me, please.
Here ...
Gus ... !
Oh! !
I' m sorry ..
There he is.
Hey Gus !
Shhh!
Over here, Gus
I should be dreadfully annoyed with you, Gus Pike,
keeping me waiting like this!
What are you hiding behind your back!
Close your eyes...
What'd I do now?
Aren't you going to say hello to him ?
Mmmm!
Delicious!
Mmmm!
I am going to whip you up the most scrumptious strawberry
tarts you ever did taste!
I'll take that...
Help me with this.
You're a dear.
She practically threw herself at him, right there in public!
It was the most outrageous display of bad manners...
She was really pretty.
Pretty? ?
Felix you've got no taste whatsoever.
Gus seemed to like her.
Who cares what Gus Pike likes.
Right.
Who cares what Gus Pike likes.
I hope he marries her.
Yeah.
I hope he marries her.
Who Gus pike marries is no concern of mine.
Naw.
Me neither.
He went away to sea, you went to medical school, end of story.
Felix, don't look at me like that.
Marrying Gus Pike was the furthest thing from my mind
so I wish you would just stop talking about him.
Me?
All I wanted to do was say hello!
Felicity, what'd you expect?
Did you really think he was gonna wait for you
to make up your mind forever?
But he gave me his ruby ring.
That was ages ago.
Promise you won't get angry if I ask you a question.
Don't be ridiculous.
Did you write and tell him you
loved him and marry him?
Why would I do such a thing? Women don't propose to men.
Let me re-phrase that, Did he write and sway he loved you
and marry you?
No. Not exactly.
Then what's the problem. If you don't love each other,
why couldn't I just say hello?
Felix, when you see him again, say hello.
Say hello all day and all night. Do I care?
He means nothing to me. Nothing whatsoever.
In that case I have one more question,
If you don't care for him, why are you still wearing his ring?
There. There, I'm not wearing it. Satisfied?
An not only am I not going to wear it,
I'm gonna throw it in his face,
and tell him he's not been a gentlemen.
Why? What did he do wrong? I don't get it.
Of course you don't, you're a boy.
Boy's don't get anything.
I thought you didn't care? You're going hrough an awful
lot of trouble for someone who doesn't care.
Excuse me? I'm looking for a sailor named Gus. Gus Pike.
Pike. Pike you say?
He's young, he's got dark hair.
He play's a fiddle!
That's him. You wouldn't happen to know where he lives?
Maybe I do and maybe I don't.
When a fella get's my age,
never can tell what he remembers.
I see, well...Then perhaps this wll refresh your memory.
Let me see now...Pike, was that Pike with a P?
Well of course it's with a P. There!
That's all the change I got!
Over at Captain Ames house. That's were young Gus' stayin'
these days.
Thank you.
Why do I have to go in with you?
This is going to be very embarrassing!
Because if we go in together, it's just a visit,
if I go in by myself it'll look suspicious.
Like I came just to see him!
But you did!
Yes..?
May I help you?
Hello, I'm Felicity King and this is my brother Felix.
We just happened to be passing ...
...in the neighborhood.
Felicity! ?
Felix ..!
... hello Gus ..
Well for heaven's sake!
You're the famous Kings!
Gus has told me all about you.
I'm Charlotte Ames.
Do come in.
We were just about to have tea.
Tea, Felicity?
I do hope you like oolong, Gus brought it back from England.
How thoughtful of him.
Coulda knocked me over with a feather,
seeing you two at the door like that!
You never wrote and told me school started.
And howdja find me in the first place?
Oh we just went to the...
What's that you were saying, Felix?
He wasn't saying anything.
Milk?
Please.
Sugar?
Thank you.
So Gus told me all about Avonlea.
It sounds like a darling little place.
Do try the strawberry tarts, Felicity.
Oh, no thank you.
I'm afraid I break out in welts from strawberries.
And so does Felix.
What a shame.
Gus loves strawberries, don't you, Gus?
So tell me, Felicity, I'm fascinated.
You are going to medical school, how daring.
Are you enjoing it?
Enjoying it!
You should have seen her yesterday ...
Felix.
Well I certainly admire your courage.
All those difficult subjects, science and such.
I'm afraid my poor little brain just couldn't absorb it.
Like a man's could.
Good grief, are you all right?
... uh ... fine, couldn't be better.
Do try some of these.
Now you and your brother don't break out into welts over butter
cookies, do you now?
We love butter cookies!
I'm sorry, but we don't want to outstay our welcome.
Felix has to catch the ferry back to Avonlea.
But you just got here!
And you haven't met a very important member
of the Ames family!
No, I insist you stay.
Just a moment.
I'll be right back.
What was that all about?
Yeah, what'd I do?
Not another word out of any of you.
And as for you Gus Pike, I only came to give you this.
Felicity, why'd you give me the ring back?
I don't want it. You can give it to Charlotte.
Charlottte?
What, you don't expect me to wear it do you?
Of course I do, I gave it to you.
I am no acustom to wearing jewlery that comes with a curse.
A curse? What curse
You.
Nice seeing you Gus.
Gus is anything wrong?
I dunno, they left.
Well darling, I rushed you for nothing.
I wanted you to meet Gus' friends from Avonlea.
Felicity King and he brother.
Oh what a shame.
Felicity, wasn't that the girl you were forever mooning
about while we were at sea Gus?
You shouldn't have let her run off without introducing me.
Nevermind, I'll make it up to you.
Wait till you try the strawberry tarts.
Come along, Gus.
Give mother and father my love,
and don't breathe a word about anything.
Why not?
Because I said so.
Heads I'm an old maid, tails I'm not...
Gus Pike.
I been looking everywhere for you.
We gotta talk!
Go away!
I told you I've got nothing to say to you!
Felicity ... don't be like that!
Felicity King, I don't know what happened at the Ames' place
today, and I don't know what's going on here.
But you had no call givin' me back this ring.
I gave it to you and it belongs to you.
Take it.
Why?
Won't Charlotte wear it?
Now don't start that again.
Why would Charlotte Ames wear that ring?
Well why wouldn't she?
You are engaged to her aren't you?
Engaged .. !
Where did you get a ridiculous notion like that?
Charlotte Ames is married...
to the captain of the ship I was on.
she's married... ?
Well, you could have written and told me, instead of letting
me make a fool of myself.
How could I write about something that didn't happen?
"Dear Felicity, guess what, I'm not engaged to Charlotte Ames"
'Sides, I don't recall you saying much of anything
in your letters!
Well I was waiting for you to say something!
Why should I be the one to say something?
Now hold on Felicity ...
I don't have time to argue with
you, Gus Pike, I have got more important things to do!
Gus... ?
I'm sorry.
Same here.
Heck, we're not babies anymore, Felicity.
We can't keep squabbling like this.
Can't we go somewhere and talk?
Sure glad we had a chance to talk Felicity.
[singing]
... roses, sweet roses, two blooms for a penny ..
.. what's that you say .. ?
.. it's the flower lady.
... roses, red roses, roses red as blood ..
How much fer the whole bunch?
... Ezekial?
... what?
... Ezekial Crane ...
...it's him, it's Cap'n Crane...
.. you came back ...
they lied, all of them, lies, lies ..
What's that?
Crane...! What about Captain...
ruby red.
The captain said wait, wait ...
wait for the roses to bloom . .
Ruby red...ruby red.
No!
Wait .. !
Come on!
Hide me quick ... ruby red dies in the night, hide me.
We're not gonna hurt you ..
What's she talking about?
I dunno ... but something's got her spooked ..
You called me Captain Crane ...
How do you know him?
I won't give you no trouble, I swear I won't,
just don't let them ...
Gus, leave her be.
But she recognized the ring!
She knew it was captain Crane's ...
She looked me right in the eye like she knew me.
She thinks you're him!
Ezekial Crane.
Really, men can't see past their noses.
It's very simple, captain Crane lived a sailor's life.
He stopped in a thousand ports, and met a thousand women.
We have no right to bother this poor woman.
Let's just leave her alone.
Out here ... in a place like this?
What else can we do?
This is where she lives.
Besides we don't even know her name.
She'll catch her death on a night like this.
It's gonna pour for sure!
Let's take her back to your place.
My place?
I can't do that!
Take her to the Ames'!
I can't, I'm just staying there til I find a room of my own.
Besides.
They'd never understand.
I see.
They won't understand but I'm supposed to take a perfect
stranger back to my room.
If she's a friend of Captain Crane's, she's no stranger ...
I got this feeling, Felicity.
Something tells me we're doin' wrong if we leave her here.
Eliza ... never see neither of 'em again.
[screaming]
Felicity?
Are you asleep yet?
Yes.
I'm not.
Thank you for telling me.
Sorry.
'Night.
Felicity?
What.
She's sleeping like a baby.
Everybody in Halifax is sleeping like a baby, Gus.
Except you and I.
Look, I'm sorry I can't stay up all night and talk
but I've got such a long day ahead of me tomorrow ...
I think it's best if we just say goodnight.
...' night.
Gus?
Gee Felicity, how's a fella supposed to sleep
if you keep pestering him?
Why are you going to so much trouble for someone you
just bumped into?
Most of my life's kinda like a big empty hole,
never knowing who I am or where I come from.
You're Felicity King, you're from Avonlea,
you know your mother and your father, your whole family.
Me?
I don't know nothing about myself.
'Cept a few things I can't forget.
Like my mother's gravestone,
"Eliza Pike. Born 1863, died 1894".
And then there's Abe Pike, my pa.
He's nothing to brag about.
What is it?
Do you think there's something that this woman might know?
Not sure.
It's gnawing away at me, though.
Thinking about things.
Maybe I should stop dragging up what's best forgotten ...
but then I say to myself, no, keep digging,
get to the bottom of it!
It's difficult to put the past where it belongs.
Look at you and me.
Do we belong to the past?
You're part of me, Felicity.
I don't have no past.
Meeting you and your family was when my life started.
What can I do Gus Pike?
Do you want me to help you?
I'm not pushing you anymore Felicity.
I'm just asking you to stick with me a while longer.
Just 'til I figure out what's going on here.
... it's like ... when you smell the sea and you hear
the wind howling, and the sky's still clear but you know
in your bones a storm's brewing ..
Well it's like that.
We're on to something, you and me, don't ask me why,
I just know it.
There.
You're looking all prettied up?
Would you like some more tea?
It was a present.
From Captain Crane.
Gave it to me before he left.
Sail the seven seas, Captain?
I won't tell, I won't tell.
Look.
I know what you think, but I'm not Ezekial Crane.
The ring was his, you got that part right, but I'm not him.
How d'ya do.
My name's Gus Pike.
I'm only trying to make friends.
... no, no, they took him away ... he's lost ... he's lost.
Who's lost ... ?
Come on.
Friends say how d'ya do ...
My name's Gus pike.
What's yours.
♪ She's like the swallow that flies so high, like the river ♪
♪ that never runs dry, she's like the sun... ♪
Eliza.
Am I crazy thinking what I'm thinking .. ?
There could be a million Elizas.
It's a common name.
That's true.
I know it's true.
But my mother's name was Eliza!
Gus, she can't be your mother.
You told me your mother died years ago.
Besides - we don't know her last name
and she's not about to tell us!
She's the right age, Felicity.
And her eyes ... something about her eyes.
Can't be.
Can it?
You know it's impossible.
You came across someone with the same name as your mother.
Call it fate, but that's all it is.
I don't think so.
That's not all it is!
Gus, you're letting your imagination run away with you.
Let's use common sense.
Let's go to the police and turn her over for safekeeping.
The police ... ?
No!
I can't do that.
All right.
Not the police.
But there are places for people like her, Gus.
Nice places.
I've read about them.
We'll find one.
[moaning]
Her?
You come here.
Let me take a look at you.
She can't stay here.
She's been here before.
You know her? ?
She tries to run.
We can't have that sort.
It upsets the others.
Wait!
What do you mean she tries to run?
Did she escape from here?
Plenty of times.
What's her last name?
They don't have last names.
Not real ones.
They get put here.
You mean somebody brought her here.
Who?
You must keep records of such things.
We don't keep records.
They pays their money and we don't ask questions ...
Now come on.
I wouldn't leave a dog in a place like this.
If there's a chance back in Avonlea ... even a small one...
I want to know.
Oh, Gus.
It's such a wild idea!
I hope you'll stick with me.
You know I will.
Daniel King, if you don't stop eating those
you're going to have a very sore tummy tonight!
Janet, make sure you core those properly.
Daniel, leave those apples alone ...
I didn't just get them for you.
Oh, heavens.
Felicity!
Gus, Gus Pike! !
Is this really you? !
It's great to see you, Miss King!
Felicity, why are you home from school?
What's wrong?
Are you sick?
Mother, don't get excited.
I'll explain everything later.
Sorry to bust in on you like this, Miss King, but I have
something important I need to talk to you about.
...you and Felicity... ? ?
Felicity, what is wrong?
I demand to know why you're home from school right this ...
Mother.
Aunt Hetty.
We brought someone with us.
This is Eliza.
... Uh ... I don't believe I caught your last name ...
She hasn't got one, Mrs. King.
Felicity.
Could you give me a hand with these dishes, dear ... ?
Felicity.
Who is this person?
Aunt Hetty, it's going to be difficult to understand.
It's Gus ... He thinks she's his mother.
Gus?
I'm not disturbing you, am I?
I made us some hot chocolate.
I'm glad you're still up.
I got a lot on my mind.
Took me a while to quiet her down.
Dear me.
It looks like you got yourself in a fine mess this time.
You think I did wrong, bringing Eliza here?
Well ... no, dear boy.
Avonlea is where your home is.
Home is where you go when you're in trouble.
Though you seem to attract trouble
in inordinately large doses.
I hope you're not doubting me, Miss King ...
I have never doubted you, Gus pike.
Not from the minute I met you.
I never met a soul more determined than you are.
That's what Felicity says.
It's still Felicity, then.
Always was.
I'll tell you this, Miss King, she's there for me
when I'm in a jam.
Love is something more than merely pulling
one another out of jams.
What will she do if school refuses to take her back?
I don't know.
I'm worried about that.
I want her dreams to come true, Miss King.
And I don't want to wreck them for her.
Perhaps you are her dream, Gus.
I wish I was.
I wish a whole lot of things.
Miss King.
About Eliza, do you think I'm chasing a ghost or what?
Well, as we know, your mother is dead, boy.
Terrible as that is, surely you must try
and put all that behind you.
Get on with your life.
I can't.
I can't get past it, no matter how hard I try.
Miss King.
Did you ever hear talk from anyone ...
about my mother, I mean?
Gossip, I suppose.
That was ages ago.
Can't you remember?
I need to know!
Oh yes ... some heresay of Rachel Lynde's as I recall.
Something about Abe Pike's wife coming from a farm
out past Pat Frewen's place.
Pat Frewen's you say?
I've been here before.
I don't know when ...
She remembers something ...
You want to go up there?
No, no.
There's another way...
It's no use.
Gus, you've done all you could, Gus.
No I didn't.
... what ... ?
There's still the grave.
Oh Gus.
No.
I have to see if she's buried there.
You can't do it.
It's all I got left Felicity.
[thunder]
If anyone finds us here...
Oh Felicity, don't so scared
Felix King, I'm not afraid.
Gus, it's your mother, you open it up.
[thunder]
It's nothing but a pile of rocks!
It's unthinkable!
Desecrating a grave is a serious crime!
I realize this is important to you, but in my opinion,
you have to abandon this search ...
But the coffin was empty!
Doesn't that prove something?
That doesn't mean that woman in the kitchen is your mother!
But it's possible, isn't it...?
It's true, mother, maybe it wasn't before,
but you have to admit that now there is a possibility!
Isn't there, Felix?
Oh!
Sure!
Anything else you want to dig up, Gus?
She knows this ring.
She knows captain Crane.
I don't care if it sounds crazy, I'm looking after her.
Please don't do this to yourself,
what you want it be real isn't!
She's nobody, Gus
She's just a vagrant you found on a city street.
If you persist you could end up wandering with her
for the rest of your life!
Face up to the truth Gus Pike.
That woman will be nothing but a burden to you!
I can't imagine what it was like for you as a child!
The woman is gone.
Daniel!
Where did she go?
He doesn't know.
I'll take the woods I'll look around the house!
Felix, come with me.
... the devil's pulpit!
It's you ... and Abe Pike.
It's true.
Everything I thought ... !
Captain Crane ... !
'to Eliza, my own true love.'
You gotta tell me.
Why was this buried under the devil's pulpit?
I can't go on knowing only bits and pieces.
You married Abe ... but was it Captain Crane you loved .. ?
Captain Crane ... is he my pa?
What about Abe Pike?
Did he know?
You gotta remember.
What happened ... ?
Did Abe Pike bury the coffin and tell everyone you were dead .. ?
Was it Abe put you in the Asylum?
[crying]
He wrecked your life.
And mine too.
Where's my boy?
Where's my little boy?
I'm here now and I'm here to stay.
What do you want me to do?
I'll do anything you want.
I have to take Eliza and find Captain Crane.
He's in Jamaica.
If anybody knows the truth about us, he does.
We're off.
Guess it's ... good-bye...
... Guess it is ..
Say you'll marry me, Felicity.
Don't let me go without a promise this time.
Say you'll be mine?
I've always been yours, Gus.
I'll be yours forever!
