AVERIL'S IDEAL Diana: Oh Anne, Averil's Ideal is my favorite thing of everything you've written Anne: Mine too. ANNE When Averil Was A Sweet Young Thing Her Friends Were Always Whispering Of Beaux They'd Had And Beaux To Come But Averil Kept Her Peace For She Knew There Was More To Life Than Settling Down As Someone's Wife She Might Be Lonely, This She Knew But She Had Things To Do This Was Her Caprice Averil Kept Her Peace When Averil Was But Seventeen A Handsome Lad Came On The Scene And He Was Smart And Fair And Kind But Averil Turned Away The Signs Were Wrong, She Wanted More Why He Was Just The Boy Next Door And She Could Only Find Romance In Perfect Circumstance Just Like In A Play Averil Turned Away There Had To Be A Tree There Had To Be Some Rain A Stranger Would Appear Exotic And Urbane And Averil Would Know And Averil Would Feel This Gentleman Was Truly AVERIL'S IDEAL It truly IS my most romantic story! DIANA All except that part about Averil being an old maid for sixty years till she finally meets The 'Dream Man.' That might be all right for you, you're always going to be divinely slim. I'm going to be fat! ANNE Diana! DIANA Well, I am. My Mother is fat! Every single one of my Aunt's is fat! There's nothing romantic about a fat old maid! ANNE (Meaning the manuscript;) I want you to keep it. DIANA I'll treasure it always. But Anne, would you REALLY wait sixty years for some ‘ideal man?' Gilbert seems like an awfully good compromise to me! ANNE I Think I'd Need A Tree And Yes, I'd Want Some Rain And He'd Be Standing There Exotic And Urbane And In A Flash I'd Know And In A Flash I'd Feel I Guess I'd Be Like Averil Finding My Ideal And In A Flash I'd Know And In A Flash I'd Feel I Guess I'd Be Like Averil Finding My Ideal
