•It was broad daylight when Anne awoke and sat up in bed, staring confusedly at the window through which a flood of cheery sunshine was pouring and outside of which something white and feathery waved across glimpses of blue sky.
•For a moment she could not remember where she was. •First came a delightful thrill, as of something very pleasant; then a horrible remembrance. •This was Green Gables and they didn't want her because she wasn't a boy!
•But it was morning and, yes, it was a cherry-tree in full bloom outside of her window. •With a bound she was out of bed and across the floor. •She pushed up the sash—it went up stiffly and creakily, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time, which was the case; and it stuck so tight that nothing was needed to hold it up.
•Anne dropped on her knees and gazed out into the June morning, her eyes glistening with delight. •Oh, wasn't it beautiful? •Wasn't it a lovely place? •Suppose she wasn't really going to stay here! •She would imagine she was. •There was scope for imagination here.
•A huge cherry-tree grew outside, so close that its boughs tapped against the house, and it was so thick-set with blossoms that hardly a leaf was to be seen. •On both sides of the house was a big orchard, one of apple-trees and one of cherry-trees, also showered over with blossoms; and their grass was all sprinkled with dandelions. •In the garden below were lilac-trees purple with flowers, and their dizzily sweet fragrance drifted up to the window on the morning wind.
•Below the garden a green field lush with clover sloped down to the hollow where the brook ran and where scores of white birches grew, upspringing airily out of an undergrowth suggestive of delightful possibilities in ferns and mosses and woodsy things generally. •Beyond it was a hill, green and feathery with spruce and fir; there was a gap in it where the gray gable end of the little house she had seen from the other side of the Lake of Shining Waters was visible.
•Off to the left were the big barns and beyond them, away down over green, low-sloping fields, was a sparkling blue glimpse of sea.
•Anne's beauty-loving eyes lingered on it all, taking everything greedily in; she had looked on so many unlovely places in her life, poor child; but this was as lovely as anything she had ever dreamed.
•She knelt there, lost to everything but the loveliness around her, until she was startled by a hand on her shoulder. •Marilla had come in unheard by the small dreamer.
•"It's time you were dressed," she said curtly.
•Marilla really did not know how to talk to the child, and her uncomfortable ignorance made her crisp and curt when she did not mean to be.
•Anne stood up and drew a long breath.
•"Oh, isn't it wonderful?" •she said, waving her hand comprehensively at the good world outside.
•"It's a big tree," said Marilla, "and it blooms great, but the fruit don't amount to much never—small and wormy."
•"Oh, I don't mean just the tree; of course it's lovely—yes, it's radiantly lovely—it blooms as if it meant it—but I meant everything, the garden and the orchard and the brook and the woods, the whole big dear world. •Don't you feel as if you just loved the world on a morning like this? •And I can hear the brook laughing all the way up here. •Have you ever noticed what cheerful things brooks are? •They're always laughing. •Even in winter-time I've heard them under the ice. •I'm so glad there's a brook near Green Gables. •Perhaps you think it doesn't make any difference to me when you're not going to keep me, but it does. •I shall always like to remember that there is a brook at Green Gables even if I never see it again. •If there wasn't a brook I'd be haunted by the uncomfortable feeling that there ought to be one. •I'm not in the depths of despair this morning. •I never can be in the morning. •Isn't it a splendid thing that there are mornings? •But I feel very sad. •I've just been imagining that it was really me you wanted after all and that I was to stay here for ever and ever. •It was a great comfort while it lasted. •But the worst of imagining things is that the time comes when you have to stop and that hurts."
•"You'd better get dressed and come down-stairs and never mind your imaginings," said Marilla as soon as she could get a word in edgewise. •"Breakfast is waiting. •Wash your face and comb your hair. •Leave the window up and turn your bedclothes back over the foot of the bed. •Be as smart as you can."
•Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes' time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla's requirements. •As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
•"I'm pretty hungry this morning," she announced, as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. •"The world doesn't seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. •I'm so glad it's a sunshiny morning. •But I like rainy mornings real well, too. •All sorts of mornings are interesting, don't you think? •You don't know what's going to happen through the day, and there's so much scope for imagination. •But I'm glad it's not rainy to-day because it's easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. •I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. •It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?"
•"For pity's sake hold your tongue," said Marilla. •"You talk entirely too much for a little girl."
•Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. •Matthew also held his tongue,—but this at least was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
•As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. •This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child's body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. •Who would want such a child about the place?
•Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! •Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it. •That was Matthew's way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.
•When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.
•"Can you wash dishes right?" •asked Marilla distrustfully.
•"Pretty well. •I'm better at looking after children, though. •I've had so much experience at that. •It's such a pity you haven't any here for me to look after."
•"I don't feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I've got at present. •You're problem enough in all conscience. •What's to be done with you I don't know. •Matthew is a most ridiculous man."
•"I think he's lovely," said Anne reproachfully. •"He is so very sympathetic. •He didn't mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. •I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him."
•"You're both queer enough, if that's what you mean by kindred spirits," said Marilla with a sniff. •"Yes, you may wash the dishes. •Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. •I've got enough to attend to this morning for I'll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. •You'll come with me and we'll settle what's to be done with you. •After you've finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed."
•Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla, who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. •Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. •But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner-time.
•Anne flew to the door, face alight, eyes glowing. •On the very threshold she stopped short, wheeled about, came back and sat down by the table, light and glow as effectually blotted out as if some one had clapped an extinguisher on her.
•"What's the matter now?" •demanded Marilla.
•"I don't dare go out," said Anne, in the tone of a martyr relinquishing all earthly joys. •"If I can't stay here there is no use in my loving Green Gables. •And if I go out there and get acquainted with all those trees and flowers and the orchard and the brook I'll not be able to help loving it. •It's hard enough now, so I won't make it any harder. •I want to go out so much—everything seems to be calling to me, 'Anne, Anne, come out to us. •Anne, Anne, we want a playmate'—but it's better not. •There is no use in loving things if you have to be torn from them, is there? •And it's so hard to keep from loving things, isn't it? •That was why I was so glad when I thought I was going to live here. •I thought I'd have so many things to love and nothing to hinder me. •But that brief dream is over. •I am resigned to my fate now, so I don't think I'll go out for fear I'll get unresigned again. •What is the name of that geranium on the window-sill, please?"
•"Oh, I don't mean that sort of a name. •I mean just a name you gave it yourself. •Didn't you give it a name? •May I give it one then? •May I call it—let me see—Bonny would do—may I call it Bonny while I'm here? •Oh, do let me!"
•"Goodness, I don't care. •But where on earth is the sense of naming a geranium?"
•"Oh, I like things to have handles even if they are only geraniums. •It makes them seem more like people. •How do you know but that it hurts a geranium's feelings just to be called a geranium and nothing else? •You wouldn't like to be called nothing but a woman all the time. •Yes, I shall call it Bonny. •I named that cherry-tree outside my bedroom window this morning. •I called it Snow Queen because it was so white. •Of course, it won't always be in blossom, but one can imagine that it is, can't one?"
•"I never in all my life saw or heard anything to equal her," muttered Marilla, beating a retreat down cellar after potatoes. •"She is kind of interesting, as Matthew says. •I can feel already that I'm wondering what on earth she'll say next. •She'll be casting a spell over me, too. •She's cast it over Matthew. •That look he gave me when he went out said everything he said or hinted last night over again. •I wish he was like other men and would talk things out. •A body could answer back then and argue him into reason. •But what's to be done with a man who just looks?"
•Anne had relapsed into reverie, with her chin in her hands and her eyes on the sky, when Marilla returned from her cellar pilgrimage. •There Marilla left her until the early dinner was on the table.
•"I suppose I can have the mare and buggy this afternoon, Matthew?" •said Marilla.
•Matthew nodded and looked wistfully at Anne. •Marilla intercepted the look and said grimly: "I'm going to drive over to White Sands and settle this thing. •I'll take Anne with me and Mrs. Spencer will probably make arrangements to send her back to Nova Scotia at once. •I'll set your tea out for you and I'll be home in time to milk the cows."
•Still Matthew said nothing and Marilla had a sense of having wasted words and breath. •There is nothing more aggravating than a man who won't talk back—unless it is a woman who won't.
•Matthew hitched the sorrel into the buggy in due time and Marilla and Anne set off. •Matthew opened the yard gate for them, and as they drove slowly through, he said, to nobody in particular as it seemed: "Little Jerry Buote from the Creek was here this morning, and I told him I guessed I'd hire him for the summer."
•Marilla made no reply, but she hit the unlucky sorrel such a vicious clip with the whip that the fat mare, unused to such treatment, whizzed indignantly down the lane at an alarming pace. •Marilla looked back once as the buggy bounced along and saw that aggravating Matthew leaning over the gate, looking wistfully after them.
•Es war helllichter Tag als Anne erwachte und sich im Bett aufsetzte. Verwirrt starrte sie zum Fenster, durch das sich eine Flut heiterer Sonnenstrahlen ergoss und durch welches draußen etwas Weißes und Fedriges hin und her vor einem blauen Himmel wogte.
•Einen Moment lang konnte sie sich nicht erinnern, wo sie war. •Zuerst kam ein herrlicher Nervenkitzel, wie von etwas sehr Erfreulichem; dann eine furchtbare Erinnerung. •Dies war Green Gables und sie wollten sie nicht, weil sie kein Junge war!
•Aber es war Morgen und, ja, es war ein Kirschbaum in voller Blüte draußen vor ihrem Fenster. •Mit einem Satz war sie aus dem Bett und quer über den Fußboden. •Sie schob den Fensterrahmen hoch - er ging steif und knarrend hoch als ob er lange Zeit nicht geöffnet worden wären, was der Fall war; und er steckte so fest, dass nichts notwendig war, um ihn hochzuhalten.
•Anne ließ sich auf ihre Knie herunter und starrte in den Junimorgen hinaus, ihre Augen vor Freude leuchtend. •Oh, war es nicht schön? •War es nicht ein wundervoller Platz? •Angenommen, sie würde wirklich nicht hier bleiben! •Sie würde sich vorstellen, sie wäre es. •Es war ein Spielraum für die Fantasie vorhanden.
•Ein riesiger Kirschbaum wuchs draußen, so nahe, dass seine Äste gegen das Haus klopften, und er war so dicht mit Blüten besetzt, dass kaum ein Blatt zu sehen war. •Auf beiden Seiten des Hauses waren große Obstplantagen, eine mit Apfelbäumen und eine andere mit Kirschbäumen, auch überschüttet mit Blüten; und ihr Gras war mit Löwenzahn gesprenkelt. •Unten im Garten waren Fliederbüsche mit lila Blüten, und ihr schwindlig süßer Duft wehte vom Morgenwind hinauf getrieben zum Fenster.
•Links davon gab es große Scheunen und darüberhinaus, hinunter über grüne, leicht abschüssige Felder, war der flüchtige Eindruck eines blau glitzernden Sees.
•Annes die Schönheit liebende Augen verweilten auf all dem und sie nahm alles begierig auf; sie hatte in ihrem Leben auf so viele unschöne Orte geschaut, arme Kleine, aber dieser war so wunderschön wie alles, was sie je erträumt hatte.
•Sie kniete dort, für alles verloren, außer für die Schönheit um sie herum, bis sie von einer Hand auf ihrer Schulter aufgeschreckt wurde. •Marilla war hereingekommen, ungehört von der kleinen Träumerin.
•"Es wird Zeit, dass du dich anziehst", sagte sie kurz angebunden.
•Marilla wusste wirklich nicht, wie sie mit dem Kind sprechen sollte, und ihre unangenehme Ignoranz machte sie kurz und knapp, auch wenn sie es nicht so gemeint hatte.
•Anne stand auf und holte tief Luft.
•"Oh, ist das nicht wunderbar?" •sagte sie und winkte der guten Welt da draußen ausgiebig mit der Hand.
•"Es ist ein großer Baum", sagte Marilla, "und seine Blüten sind sehr schön, aber die Früchte taugen nie viel - klein und wurmstichig."
•"Oh, ich meine nicht nur den Baum, natürlich ist er wunderschön - ja, er ist strahlend schön, er blüht, als ob er es beabsichtigte - aber ich meine einfach alles, den Garten und die Obstbäume und den Bach und den Wald, die ganze große liebe Welt. •Glauben sie nicht auch, dass sie die Welt an einem Morgen wie diesem einfach nur lieben würden? ... •Und ich kann den Bach bis hierhin lachen hören. •Haben Sie jemals bemerkt, was für eine muntere Sache Bäche sind? •Sie gluckern immer. •Sogar wärend der Winterzeit habe ich sie unter dem Eis gehört. •Ich freue mich so, dass es einen Bach in der Nähe von Green Gables gibt. •Vielleicht denken Sie, es macht mir nichts aus, wenn sie mich nicht behalten werden, aber es tut es. •Ich werde mich immer gerne daran erinnern, dass es einen Bach bei Green Gables gibt, selbst wenn ich ihn nie wieder sehen werde. •Wenn es keinen Bach gäbe, würde mich das unangenehme Gefühl verfolgen, dass es einen geben sollte. •Ich bin heute morgen nicht in den Tiefen der Hoffnungslosigkeit. •Am Morgen kann ich es niemals sein. •Ist es nicht etwas Großartiges, dass es immer wieder einen neuen Morgen gibt?... •Aber ich fühle mich sehr traurig. •Ich habe mir gerade vorgestellt, dass Sie am Ende doch wirklich mich gewollt hätten, und dass ich für immer und ewig hier wohnen sollte. •Es war ein großer Trost, solange es andauerte.... •Aber das Schlimmste an vorgestellten Sachen ist, dass die Zeit kommt, wenn du aufhören musst und das tut weh."
•"Du solltest dich lieber anziehen und runter kommen und dir keine Vorstellungen machen", sagte Marilla sobald sie zu Wort kam. •"Frühstück wartet. •Wasche dein Gesicht und kämme dein Haar. •Lass das Fenster oben und klappe das Bettzeug über das Fußende. •Sei so flink wie möglich".
•Anne konnte für manchen Zweck anscheinend flink sein, denn sie war in zehn Minuten unten, fast ganz angezogen, ihre Haare gebürstet und geflochten, ihr Gesicht gewaschen, und ein angenehmes Bewusstsein durchdrang ihr Gemüt, dass sie alle Forderungen Marillas erfüllt hatte. •Jedoch hatte sie tatsächlich vergessen, das Bettzeug zurückzuschlagen.
•"Ich bin heute Morgen sehr hungrig", kündigte sie an, als sie auf den Stuhl glitt, den ihr Marilla hinstellte. •" Die Welt scheint nicht so eine heulende Wildnis zu sein, wie sie es gestern Nacht war. •Ich bin so froh, dass es ein sonniger Morgen ist.... •Aber ich habe auch regnerische Morgen wirklich gern. •Jederlei Morgen ist interessant, finden Sie nicht? •Man weiß nicht, was während des ganzen Tages passieren wird, und es gibt so viel Raum für Fantasie. •Aber ich bin froh, dass es heute nicht regnet, weil es leichter ist, an einem sonnigen Tag fröhlich zu sein und bei Kummer Mut zu fassen. •Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich ein ganze Menge aushalten muss. •Es ist gut und schön über Sorgen zu lesen und dir vorzustellen, dadurch heldenhaft zu leben, aber es ist nicht so schön, wenn man sie wirklich hat, stimmt's?"
•"Um Himmels willen, halt deinen Mund", sagte Marilla. •"Du redest entschieden zu viel für ein kleines Mädchen."
•Daraufhin hielt Anne ihren Mund so gehorsam und absolut, dass ihr fortgesetztes Stillschweigen Marilla ziemlich nervös machte, als sei sie in der Gegenwart von etwas nicht ganz Natürlichem. •Matthew hielt auch seinen Mund - doch war wenigstens dies natürlich - , sodass die Mahlzeit eine sehr stille war.
•Dennoch, Matthew wollte sie behalten, das war unerklärlich! •Marilla fühlte, dass er es an diesem Morgen gerade so sehr wünschte wie am Abend zuvor, und dass er es weiterhin wünschen würde. •Das war Matthews Art - sich eine Marotte in den Kopf zu setzen und sich daran zu klammern mit der erstaunlichsten stillschweigenden Hartnäckigkeit - einer Hartnäckigkeit zehnmal stärker und wirksamer in ihrem äußersten Stillschweigen, als hätte er sie ausgesprochen.
•Als die Mahlzeit beendet war, kam Anne aus ihrer Träumerei hervor und bot an, das Geschirr zu spülen.
•"Kannst du auch richtig abwaschen?", •fragte Marilla misstrauisch.
•"Ich glaube nicht, dass ich gern mehr Kinder hätte als bisher." •Du bist Problem genug, alles was recht ist.... •Was mit dir geschehen soll, ich weiß es nicht. •Matthew ist ein höchst lächerlicher Mann."
•Ihr seid beide seltsam genug, wenn es das ist, was du mit 'Geistesverwandter' meinst", sagte Marilla mit einem Naserümpfen. •"Ja, du kannst das Geschirr abwaschen. •Nimm viel heißes Wasser und trockne sie richtig ab. •Ich habe genug, um das ich mich heute Morgen kümmern muss, denn ich muss am Nachmittag nach White Sands hinüber fahren, um Mrs. Spencer aufzusuchen. •Du wirst mit mir kommen und wir werden klären, was mit dir geschehen soll. •Nachdem du den Abwasch erledigt hast, gehe hinauf und mache dein Bett."
•Anne wusch das Geschirr geschickt genug ab, wie Marilla, die ihr dabei auf die Finger sah, feststellte. •Später machte sie weniger erfolgreich ihr Bett, denn sie hatte nie die Kunst erlernt, mit einem Federbett zu kämpfen. •Aber es wurde irgendwie gemacht und glattgestrichen; und dann sagte Marilla ihr, um sie loszuwerden, dass sie rausgehen und sich bis zum Abendessen amüsieren könnte.
•"Was ist denn nun schon wieder los?" •fragte Marilla nach.
•"Ich traue mich nicht rauszugehen" sagte Anne im Ton einer Märtyrerin, die auf alle irdischen Freuden verzichtet. •Wenn ich nicht hier bleiben kann, bringt es mir nichts, Green Gables zu lieben. •Und wenn ich dort rausgehe und mich mit all diesen Bäumen und Blumen und dem Obstgarten und dem Bach vertraut mache, werde ich nichts dagegen tun können es zu lieben. •Es ist jetzt schlimm genug, daher will ich es nicht noch schlimmer machen... •Ich möchte so gern hinausgehen-alles scheint mir zuzurufen, 'Anne, Anne, komm heraus zu uns.' •Anne, Anne, wir möchten eine Spielkameradin' - aber lieber nicht. •Es hat keinen Zweck, Dinge zu lieben, wenn man sich wieder davon losreißen muss, oder? •Und es ist so hart, sich von geliebten Dingen fernzuhalten, nicht wahr? •Das war der Grund, warum ich so froh war, als ich glaubte, ich werde hier wohnen. •Ich dachte, ich würde so viele Dinge zu lieben haben und nichts, was mich daran hindert. •Aber dieser kurze Traum ist vorbei. •Ich ergebe mich nun meinem Schicksal, so denke ich nicht, dass ich hinausgehen werde, aus Furcht, es wieder rückgängig zu machen. •Wie heißt bitte diese Geranie auf der Fensterbank?
•"Das ist die nach Apfel duftende Geranie."
•"Oh, ich meine nicht diese Art eines Namens. •Ich meinte nur einen Namen, den Sie ihr selbst gaben. •Gaben Sie ihr keinen Namen? •Darf ich ihr dann einen geben? •Darf ich sie - lassen sie mich sehen - Bonny würde gehen - darf ich sie Bonny nennen, während ich hier bin? •Oh, lassen Sie es mich tun"!
•"Jesses, es ist mir völlig egal. •Was in aller Welt ist der Sinn, einer Geranie einen Namen zu geben?"
•"Oh, ich mag es, wenn die Dinge Namen haben, auch wenn es nur Geranien sind." •Es lässt sie eher wie Menschen erscheinen. •Woher weißt du, dass es die Gefühle einer Geranie verletzt, wenn man sie nur Geranie nennt und sonst nichts? •Du würdest auch nicht gerne die ganze Zeit nur Frau genannt werden. •Ja, ich werde sie Bonny nennen. •Ich habe diesem Kirschbaum vor meinem Schlafzimmerfenster heute Morgen einen Namen gegeben. •Ich nannte ihn Schneekönigin, weil er so weiß war. •Natürlich wird er nicht immer in Blüte stehen, aber man kann sich vorstellen, er würde es, nicht wahr?"
•"So etwas wie sie habe ich in meinem ganzen Leben noch nicht gesehen oder gehört", murmelte Marilla, die sich in den Keller zurückzog, um Kartoffeln zu holen. •"Sie ist irgendwie interessant, wie Matthew sagt. •Ich merke schon, dass ich mich frage, was in aller Welt sie als nächstes sagen wird. •Sie wird mich genauso verzaubern. •Wie sie Matthew verzaubert hat. •Dieser Blick, den er mir zuwarf, als er hinaus ging, sagte alles noch einmal, was er gestern Abend gesagt oder angedeutet hatte. •Ich wünschte, er wäre wie andere Männer und würde die Dinge aussprechen. •Man könnte dann eine Antwort geben und ihn zur Vernunft bringen. •Aber was soll man mit einem Mann anfangen, der nur schaut?"
•Anne war wieder in Träumerei versunken, mit dem Kinn in ihren Händen und den Augen auf den Himmel gerichtet, als Marilla von ihrer langen beschwerlichen "Reise" aus dem Keller zurückkam.... •Dort verließ Marilla sie, bis das Essen auf dem Tisch stand.
•"Ich nehme an, ich kann heute Nachmittag die Stute und den Einspänner haben, Matthew?" •sagte Marilla.
•Matthew nickte und schaute wehmütig zu Anne. •Marilla fing den Blick auf und sagte grimmig: " Ich werde nach White Sands hinüberfahren und diese Sache klären. •Ich nehme Anne mit und Mrs. Spencer wird wahrscheinlich Vorkehrungen treffen, sie sofort nach Nova Scotia zurückzuschicken. •Ich werde deinen Tee für dich aufsetzen und wieder rechtzeitig zu Hause sein, um die Kühe zu melken."
•Noch sagte Matthew nichts und Marilla hatte das Gefühl, Worte und Atem verschwendet zu haben. •Nichts ist ärgerlicher als ein Mann, der nichts erwidert - es sei denn, es ist eine Frau, die nicht will.
•Matthew spannte den Fuchs zur gegebenen Zeit in den Einspänner und Marilla und Anne fuhren los. •Matthew öffnete ihnen das Hoftor, und als sie langsam durchfuhren, sagte er zu niemandem, wie es schien: "Little Jerry Buote von den Creek war heute Morgen hier, und ich sagte ihm, dass ich daran denken würde, ihn für den Sommer einzustellen."
•Marilla gab keine Antwort, aber sie gab dem unglücklichen Fuchs solch einen heftigen Hieb mit der Peitsche, dass die fette Stute, solch eine Behandlung nicht gewohnt, mit beängstigendem Tempo empört die Gasse hinunter jagte. •Marilla schaute einmal zurück, als der Einspänner weiter rumpelte, und sah, dass Matthew bedrückt über dem Tor lehnte und ihnen wehmütig nachschaute.
For a moment she could not remember where she was.
First came a delightful thrill, as of something very pleasant; then a horrible remembrance.
But it was morning and, yes, it was a cherry-tree in full bloom outside of her window.
With a bound she was out of bed and across the floor.
She pushed up the sash—it went up stiffly and creakily, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time, which was the case; and it stuck so tight that nothing was needed to hold it up.
Wasn't it a lovely place?
Suppose she wasn't really going to stay here!
She would imagine she was.
There was scope for imagination here.
A huge cherry-tree grew outside, so close that its boughs tapped against the house, and it was so thick-set with blossoms that hardly a leaf was to be seen.
On both sides of the house was a big orchard, one of apple-trees and one of cherry-trees, also showered over with blossoms; and their grass was all sprinkled with dandelions.
In the garden below were lilac-trees purple with flowers, and their dizzily sweet fragrance drifted up to the window on the morning wind.
Beyond it was a hill, green and feathery with spruce and fir; there was a gap in it where the gray gable end of the little house she had seen from the other side of the Lake of Shining Waters was visible.
Anne's beauty-loving eyes lingered on it all, taking everything greedily in; she had looked on so many unlovely places in her life, poor child; but this was as lovely as anything she had ever dreamed.
She knelt there, lost to everything but the loveliness around her, until she was startled by a hand on her shoulder.
Marilla had come in unheard by the small dreamer.

"It's a big tree," said Marilla, "and it blooms great, but the fruit don't amount to much never—small and wormy."
"Oh, I don't mean just the tree; of course it's lovely—yes, it's radiantly lovely—it blooms as if it meant it—but I meant everything, the garden and the orchard and the brook and the woods, the whole big dear world.
Don't you feel as if you just loved the world on a morning like this?
And I can hear the brook laughing all the way up here.
Have you ever noticed what cheerful things brooks are?
Even in winter-time I've heard them under the ice.
I'm so glad there's a brook near Green Gables.
Perhaps you think it doesn't make any difference to me when you're not going to keep me, but it does.
I shall always like to remember that there is a brook at Green Gables even if I never see it again.
If there wasn't a brook I'd be haunted by the uncomfortable feeling that there ought to be one.
I'm not in the depths of despair this morning.
I never can be in the morning.
Isn't it a splendid thing that there are mornings?
I've just been imagining that it was really me you wanted after all and that I was to stay here for ever and ever.
It was a great comfort while it lasted.
But the worst of imagining things is that the time comes when you have to stop and that hurts."
"You'd better get dressed and come down-stairs and never mind your imaginings," said Marilla as soon as she could get a word in edgewise.
Wash your face and comb your hair.
Leave the window up and turn your bedclothes back over the foot of the bed.
Be as smart as you can."
Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes' time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla's requirements.
As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
"I'm pretty hungry this morning," she announced, as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her.
"The world doesn't seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night.
I'm so glad it's a sunshiny morning.
But I like rainy mornings real well, too.
All sorts of mornings are interesting, don't you think?
You don't know what's going to happen through the day, and there's so much scope for imagination.
But I'm glad it's not rainy to-day because it's easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day.
I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under.
It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?"
"For pity's sake hold your tongue," said Marilla.
"You talk entirely too much for a little girl."
Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural.
Matthew also held his tongue,—but this at least was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window.
This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child's body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination.
Who would want such a child about the place?
Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things!
Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it.

"Can you wash dishes right?"
I'm better at looking after children, though.
I've had so much experience at that.
It's such a pity you haven't any here for me to look after."
"I don't feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I've got at present.
You're problem enough in all conscience.
What's to be done with you I don't know.
Matthew is a most ridiculous man."
"I think he's lovely," said Anne reproachfully.
"He is so very sympathetic.
He didn't mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it.
I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him."
"Yes, you may wash the dishes.
Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well.
I've got enough to attend to this morning for I'll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer.
You'll come with me and we'll settle what's to be done with you.
After you've finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed."
Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla, who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned.
Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick.
But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner-time.
Anne flew to the door, face alight, eyes glowing.
On the very threshold she stopped short, wheeled about, came back and sat down by the table, light and glow as effectually blotted out as if some one had clapped an extinguisher on her.
"I don't dare go out," said Anne, in the tone of a martyr relinquishing all earthly joys.
"If I can't stay here there is no use in my loving Green Gables.
And if I go out there and get acquainted with all those trees and flowers and the orchard and the brook I'll not be able to help loving it.
It's hard enough now, so I won't make it any harder.
I want to go out so much—everything seems to be calling to me, 'Anne, Anne, come out to us.
Anne, Anne, we want a playmate'—but it's better not.
There is no use in loving things if you have to be torn from them, is there?
And it's so hard to keep from loving things, isn't it?
That was why I was so glad when I thought I was going to live here.
I thought I'd have so many things to love and nothing to hinder me.
But that brief dream is over.
I am resigned to my fate now, so I don't think I'll go out for fear I'll get unresigned again.
What is the name of that geranium on the window-sill, please?"
"Oh, I don't mean that sort of a name.
I mean just a name you gave it yourself.
Didn't you give it a name?
May I give it one then?
May I call it—let me see—Bonny would do—may I call it Bonny while I'm here?
But where on earth is the sense of naming a geranium?"
"Oh, I like things to have handles even if they are only geraniums.
It makes them seem more like people.
How do you know but that it hurts a geranium's feelings just to be called a geranium and nothing else?
You wouldn't like to be called nothing but a woman all the time.
Yes, I shall call it Bonny.
I named that cherry-tree outside my bedroom window this morning.
I called it Snow Queen because it was so white.
Of course, it won't always be in blossom, but one can imagine that it is, can't one?"
"I never in all my life saw or heard anything to equal her," muttered Marilla, beating a retreat down cellar after potatoes.
"She is kind of interesting, as Matthew says.
I can feel already that I'm wondering what on earth she'll say next.
She'll be casting a spell over me, too.
She's cast it over Matthew.
That look he gave me when he went out said everything he said or hinted last night over again.
I wish he was like other men and would talk things out.
A body could answer back then and argue him into reason.
But what's to be done with a man who just looks?"
Anne had relapsed into reverie, with her chin in her hands and her eyes on the sky, when Marilla returned from her cellar pilgrimage.
There Marilla left her until the early dinner was on the table.
"I suppose I can have the mare and buggy this afternoon, Matthew?"
Matthew nodded and looked wistfully at Anne.
Marilla intercepted the look and said grimly: "I'm going to drive over to White Sands and settle this thing.
I'll take Anne with me and Mrs. Spencer will probably make arrangements to send her back to Nova Scotia at once.
I'll set your tea out for you and I'll be home in time to milk the cows."
Still Matthew said nothing and Marilla had a sense of having wasted words and breath.
There is nothing more aggravating than a man who won't talk back—unless it is a woman who won't.
Matthew hitched the sorrel into the buggy in due time and Marilla and Anne set off.
Matthew opened the yard gate for them, and as they drove slowly through, he said, to nobody in particular as it seemed: "Little Jerry Buote from the Creek was here this morning, and I told him I guessed I'd hire him for the summer."
Marilla made no reply, but she hit the unlucky sorrel such a vicious clip with the whip that the fat mare, unused to such treatment, whizzed indignantly down the lane at an alarming pace.

"Der Morgen auf Green Gables"
For a moment she could not remember where she was. First came a delightful thrill, as of something very pleasant; then a horrible remembrance. This was Green Gables and they didn't want her because she wasn't a boy!
"Oh, I don't mean just the tree; of course it's lovely—yes, it's radiantly lovely—it blooms as if it meant it—but I meant everything, the garden and the orchard and the brook and the woods, the whole big dear world. Don't you feel as if you just loved the world on a morning like this? And I can hear the brook laughing all the way up here. Have you ever noticed what cheerful things brooks are? They're always laughing. Even in winter-time I've heard them under the ice. I'm so glad there's a brook near Green Gables. Perhaps you think it doesn't make any difference to me when you're not going to keep me, but it does. I shall always like to remember that there is a brook at Green Gables even if I never see it again. If there wasn't a brook I'd be haunted by the uncomfortable feeling that there ought to be one. I'm not in the depths of despair this morning. I never can be in the morning. Isn't it a splendid thing that there are mornings? But I feel very sad. I've just been imagining that it was really me you wanted after all and that I was to stay here for ever and ever. It was a great comfort while it lasted. But the worst of imagining things is that the time comes when you have to stop and that hurts."
"You'd better get dressed and come down-stairs and never mind your imaginings," said Marilla as soon as she could get a word in edgewise. "Breakfast is waiting. Wash your face and comb your hair. Leave the window up and turn your bedclothes back over the foot of the bed. Be as smart as you can."
Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes' time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla's requirements. As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
"I'm pretty hungry this morning," she announced, as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. "The world doesn't seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. I'm so glad it's a sunshiny morning. But I like rainy mornings real well, too. All sorts of mornings are interesting, don't you think? You don't know what's going to happen through the day, and there's so much scope for imagination. But I'm glad it's not rainy to-day because it's easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?"
"For pity's sake hold your tongue," said Marilla. "You talk entirely too much for a little girl."
Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. Matthew also held his tongue,—but this at least was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child's body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. Who would want such a child about the place?
Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it. That was Matthew's way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.
"Can you wash dishes right?" asked Marilla distrustfully.
"Pretty well. I'm better at looking after children, though. I've had so much experience at that. It's such a pity you haven't any here for me to look after."
"I don't feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I've got at present. You're problem enough in all conscience. What's to be done with you I don't know. Matthew is a most ridiculous man."
"I think he's lovely," said Anne reproachfully. "He is so very sympathetic. He didn't mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him."
"You're both queer enough, if that's what you mean by kindred spirits," said Marilla with a sniff. "Yes, you may wash the dishes. Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. I've got enough to attend to this morning for I'll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. You'll come with me and we'll settle what's to be done with you. After you've finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed."
Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla, who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner-time.
"I don't dare go out," said Anne, in the tone of a martyr relinquishing all earthly joys. "If I can't stay here there is no use in my loving Green Gables. And if I go out there and get acquainted with all those trees and flowers and the orchard and the brook I'll not be able to help loving it. It's hard enough now, so I won't make it any harder. I want to go out so much—everything seems to be calling to me, 'Anne, Anne, come out to us. Anne, Anne, we want a playmate'—but it's better not. There is no use in loving things if you have to be torn from them, is there? And it's so hard to keep from loving things, isn't it? That was why I was so glad when I thought I was going to live here. I thought I'd have so many things to love and nothing to hinder me. But that brief dream is over. I am resigned to my fate now, so I don't think I'll go out for fear I'll get unresigned again. What is the name of that geranium on the window-sill, please?"
"Oh, I don't mean that sort of a name. I mean just a name you gave it yourself. Didn't you give it a name? May I give it one then? May I call it—let me see—Bonny would do—may I call it Bonny while I'm here? Oh, do let me!"
"Goodness, I don't care. But where on earth is the sense of naming a geranium?"
"Oh, I like things to have handles even if they are only geraniums. It makes them seem more like people. How do you know but that it hurts a geranium's feelings just to be called a geranium and nothing else? You wouldn't like to be called nothing but a woman all the time. Yes, I shall call it Bonny. I named that cherry-tree outside my bedroom window this morning. I called it Snow Queen because it was so white. Of course, it won't always be in blossom, but one can imagine that it is, can't one?"
"I never in all my life saw or heard anything to equal her," muttered Marilla, beating a retreat down cellar after potatoes. "She is kind of interesting, as Matthew says. I can feel already that I'm wondering what on earth she'll say next. She'll be casting a spell over me, too. She's cast it over Matthew. That look he gave me when he went out said everything he said or hinted last night over again. I wish he was like other men and would talk things out. A body could answer back then and argue him into reason. But what's to be done with a man who just looks?"
"I suppose I can have the mare and buggy this afternoon, Matthew?" said Marilla.
"I'm going to drive over to White Sands and settle this thing. I'll take Anne with me and Mrs. Spencer will probably make arrangements to send her back to Nova Scotia at once. I'll set your tea out for you and I'll be home in time to milk the cows."
Still Matthew said nothing and Marilla had a sense of having wasted words and breath. There is nothing more aggravating than a man who won't talk back—unless it is a woman who won't.
"Little Jerry Buote from the Creek was here this morning, and I told him I guessed I'd hire him for the summer."


With the threat of snow looming, the attendees of ExL Pharma's TMF Summit wanted to squeeze every moment of learning opportunity available at the January conference. The theme of this year's conference, "Improving Quality in your TMF Documentation through a Compliant Centralized Filing System" set the stage for many of the discussions over the two days. Through discussions of best practices from top pharmas, CROs and vendors, I as an attendee concluded that an eTMF project succeeds when the people, process and technology work well independently and as a whole.
When choosing to move from a paper to electronic system, or when selecting an eTMF vendor, it's important to think about who will be using the system. Will your sponsors require or expect real-time access to the eTMF? Will your CROs and outsourced partners upload documents directly into your eTMF system? Can your CRAs access the system remotely? What will regulatory authorities expect when conducting an audit? It's important to select an eTMF system that has the features your people need to succeed.
You have to treat your eTMF like a major project. Assign a project manager, then plan, execute and monitor progress. Also, dedicate a significant amount of time to getting your structure right. Without good planning and organization for your master list and other metadata, you won't get any useful metrics from the system. You need to make decisions based on the regulatory authorities of what documents will require wet-ink signatures when to keep hard copies of documents.
Lastly you have to due your due diligence to figure out what technology works best within your organization. Your eTMF should be solving a business problem, not an IT problem, so work with vendors to ensure that the eTMF offering is meeting the needs of your business. You want to look at the long term processes and goals for your electronic trial master file, and let technology features be an added bonus. Lastly, when choosing a technology, don't think of an eTMF as a cost reduction strategy; you might not save money right away. Rather, your eTMF is a source of cost avoidance since proper usage will allow your company to sail through audits and cut down on retrospectives fixes, and significantly decrease your time to ship drug.

GM Joel Benjamin's article on game 11 brought up an issue I've been thinking about for a while: where do we go with time controls?
I grew up with classical time controls of 40/120,20/60… and sometimes longer, and adjournments weren't uncommon. I still remember the debates about how to make chess more 'exciting' by shortening the time controls, especially for broadcasts to attract a wider audience. While I supported the idea of attracting a wider audience, I did wonder what might happen to classical controls and how it would affect the quality of the games played—quick thinking, pattern memory, and immediate tactics versus deep thinking and subtle, positional strategy. Joel rightly noted there were some beautiful games played under slow controls.
I try not to be one of those 'things were better when…' people, and I recognize that shorter time controls have benefits. It's possible to play a quick game over lunch, and one does exercise their pattern memory and tactics when deep thinking isn't possible. It makes tournament scheduling less complicated as well. I also support the variety of controls used now so people can play according to their personal preferences.
Perhaps, though, it's time to revive the discussion. Not so much for casual play, but where do we go with tournaments? What do we want chess to become? Can we find a way to enjoy deep, subtle games as well as quick, sharp tactical games in tournaments, or do we, as Magnus apparently prefers, emphasize one over the other. Personally, I would miss long, leisurely games, but then, I miss smoking a pipe while playing as well. We now live in an age of personal computers and powerful chess engines with massive databases, which have also changed the character of the game. My old ECO's and printed Informants don't get much use these days. My computer does. But, I still enjoy chess.
At my age, I probably won't be around to see the ultimate result of current trends in the game. But I do love the game, and as Joel observed, it is probably time to consider carefully what we, especially the younger players, will make of chess in the now not so distant future.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Chess has never been a media-interesting subject until recently. The just-concluded World Championship Match has been the best-ever media-covered chess event, with several teams of great commentators live during the games, GMs and journalists writing tons of articles, and, last but not least, the socials (especially Twitter) boiling with comments. Literally millions of people have followed Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi battle over the board.
Of course, to get such coverage, chess needs to be spectacularized. In this case, it was the WCC, and it's like Wimbledon for Tennis. But "normal" tournaments don't have this kind of following. One of the easiest ways to make chess more captivating for the masses is to shorten the time control.
In these almost two years of the pandemic, we've seen online chess exploding, to become a worldwide attraction. The games, though, were played mostly at a rapid pace, much easier to follow for the general public.
It looks easy to predict that chess is going to change in that direction, at least for the majority of elite events.
Time will tell us, I guess
Posted: 11 January 2022 07:50 PM [ # 2 ]
An aside to Lyon: chess was a media-interesting subject during my childhood—I grew up in the era of Bobby Fischer. His career triggered a lot of media interest at the time, and as it waned, the beginning of fast games was debated and rules developed. I remember the discussions on the mail page of Chess Life (USCF) at the time. I also remember when digital clocks were first developed, the debate about delay vs. increment, other proposals, and the eventual acceptance of rules for rapid and blitz games. Many members felt fast games were antithetical to "good" chess, but others were concerned that waning media interest would lead to less popular support and, as a result, less money available to hold tournaments. So, this isn't the first time tournament standards have been debated with relationship to media, but we now have online chess and many more participants than in my past. This is all good, and I'm glad people find chess enjoyable at whatever speed they wish to play.
I also note, in passing, that I'm looking forward to some really deep and beautiful games in the upcoming Tata Steel tournament, which is being played at 100/40+30, 50/20+30, g/15+30.

Yes, Amazon Prime requires an internet connection to stream video. I recommend getting cable internet vs. dial up or DSL. DSL may be fast enough, but dial up will not be. A basic cable internet package should be enough for streaming video. Try the minimum plan, but if it isn't fast enough, then bump up the service one level, try that, and repeat if necessary. But you should be fine with the basic package. Also be sure to check how much data streaming you have to be sure you don't go over the plan limits, as that may be expensive, depending on your internet provider (many plans offer unlimited downloads, but it's still a good idea to check).
The Contour TV plan with 140+ channels will suit anyone looking to capture a lot of favorites. It has nearly every channel except premium networks and specialty sports. You can also choose its TV Starter or Contour Flex (usually around $25 per month), and get the basics like PBS, ABC, the CW. Cox offers supplemental TV packages you can add on to that to get just your favorite genre-specific channels. Choose from sports, movies, and variety packages for an additional $10 per month.
For the best in TV entertainment, Wave offers a variety of the most popular cable TV channels, plus local channels, premium subscription channels and even special offers with our streaming partners. Explore here for cable and streaming options, check out digital equipment and learn about the extra benefits of Wave on Demand and Wave on the Go – watch TV your way.
I started out at $98 with my current bill, including two $10/mo cable boxes for decoding even the basic cable (local channels), which I had cut back to in March from a $200 bill under a "promo" deal for staying with their "triple play". I had also just bought a $19 HD TV antenna and can pick up all but 3 of the 60 channels in reach perfectly on my first pass. I bet I can get those 3 clear (one is ABC) if I work at location/angle. Also took out a PlayStation Vue free week trial offer, and it works fine on my smart Sony Android TV (have to upgrade my dumb one which has Apple Gen 3 – probably will do your recommended Amazon FireTV).
The best way to pick the right TV package is to first set your budget. Next, ask yourself which channels you'd like to be included in your package. Most providers offer a similar set of core channels for every plan. With each plan upgrade, the provider adds either more HD or premium channels to justify the added cost. Some of these channels may be foreign networks that you can't normally get in the U.S. or even commercial-free movie channels. None of us want our favorite movie to be interrupted by an annoying commercial break. Most providers also offer access to On-Demand libraries filled with hundreds or even thousands of titles for you to enjoy at any time. Make sure to check out the free perks included in your chosen package. For example, Spectrum gives its subscribers free HD channels on some of its plans. Premium packages from Spectrum also include movie channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, and STARZ, as well as the NFL Network and NFL Redzone at no extra cost. Now that's what we call a deal!
Take Spectrum for example. You can get cable TV for as cheap as $30 a month when you bundle with internet and home phone service. The total cost of your bill for all three bundled services would be cheaper than purchasing cable TV by itself from some other providers. Now that's what we call a deal! There's no need to go through the hassle of paying three separate bills every month, when you could just bundle them on one bill AND save at the same time. If you already have an internet provider that you love but you still want to experience the perks of a bundle, check out DIRECTV. This provider partners with most major internet providers, so you can keep the high-speed internet service you love, get all of your favorite TV networks, and save!
Subscribing to these channels allows you to stream shows, either as soon as they air or on-demand after the fact. You can also stream movies, comedy specials, documentaries and even specialty sports events, just like what you get on the cable channel. The price tags are not for the faint of heart, since each one is just as expensive (if not more so) than a comprehensive streaming service.
DIRECTV: This satellite provider was purchased by AT&T in 2015. Their package prices tend to be higher than Dish Network, but you do have a choice of six different packages as opposed to Dish's four. Football fans will find this choice a no-brainer as DIRECTV is the only one of the two companies which offer NFL Sunday Ticket. Check out the full DIRECTV channel lineup here.
For example, CBS offers a lot of free full episodes with even more when you sign up for CBS All Access ($59.99/yr with limited commercials or $99.99/yr without commercials after a 7-day free trial). For many shows, like 60 Minutes, you can watch the last 5 episodes for free. Some others have an entire season for free – such as Big Brother: Over the Top.
You'll find that in the majority of cities, cable companies effectively carve out their own territories. This means that you may end up with just one choice when it comes time to look into "Which cable providers in my area serve my address?" If this happens to be the case in your location, there may be other options aside from cable, which I'll go into later.
Diagram of a modern hybrid fiber-coaxial cable television system. At the regional headend, the TV channels are sent multiplexed on a light beam which travels through optical fiber trunklines, which fan out from distribution hubs to optical nodes in local communities. Here the light signal from the fiber is translated to a radio frequency electrical signal, which is distributed through coaxial cable to individual subscriber homes.
You will see a map of your area. Wait a few seconds for the colored list of stations to appear on the left. You should be able to pick up the green and yellow channels with a good indoor flat antenna. The ones in orange will probably require an outdoor antenna. The list is not exact, but will give you a ballpark idea of the number of channels you should be able to get.
First, the best TV moved from networks to cable. Now a similar transition is moving top talent from cable to the streaming world. Netflix ($8.99 per month for HD streaming) has House of Cards, Orange Is the New Black, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt—all of which have received almost universal acclaim—and Amazon ($99 per year for video and a variety of other services) isn't too far behind with comedy Alpha House, crime drama Bosch, and the Golden Globe-winning Transparent.
But beware -- there are a few missing gaps when it comes to support. Many devices have the Hulu or YouTube app, for example, but not all of them support live TV viewing. The PS4 is missing both, as well as Sling TV. DirecTV Now doesn't work with game consoles at all, and of course PlayStation Vue won't stretch to include the Xbox One. Amazon Prime apps work across most devices, but the company's feud with Google keeps Android TV and Chromecast on the sideline.

All calls to functions that are written in a language other than the current " version 1 " interface for compiled languages (this includes functions in user-defined procedural languages, functions written in SQL, and functions using the version 0 compiled language interface) go through a call handler function for the specific language. It is the responsibility of the call handler to execute the function in a meaningful way, such as by interpreting the supplied source text. This chapter outlines how a new procedural language's call handler can be written.
The call handler for a procedural language is a " normal " function that must be written in a compiled language such as C, using the version-1 interface, and registered with PostgreSQL as taking no arguments and returning the type language_handler . This special pseudo-type identifies the function as a call handler and prevents it from being called directly in SQL commands. For more details on C language calling conventions and dynamic loading, see Section 37.9 .


The Cape Town Commitment is the main document that resulted from the 3rd Lausanne Congress in 2010, and outlines the role of the church for evangelicals today. This Cape Town Commitment Curriculum gives churches, individuals, and small groups the opportunity to study this document together and learn how to better love the gospel, the church, and the world in a group setting. It is an adaptable curriculum that can be used in a variety of settings, such as through Bible studies and Sunday school, home groups and campus fellowships. This multimedia curriculum leads participants through 12 sessions which include study questions, discussion, and prayer--all in order to develop a greater love for God, their neighbors, and creation.
