Acting is a Sin

[Image no longer available: Acting is a Sin]Today, thanks to Netflix, I was watching Anne of Green Gables with the kids as I folded laundry. I love some of the lines from the movie.

This is from the scene where Anne, Ruby and Diana are pretending that Anne is the Lily Maid from the Lady of Shalott. She closes her eyes and lets her friends send her to a watery grave.

RUBY GILLIS: Gosh, she really looks dead. I'm frightened. Mrs. Lynde says that acting is a sin.

ANNE: Ruby, keep quiet. You're spoiling the effect. Besides, this is hundreds of years before Mrs. Lynde was born. Diana, you arrange all of this. It's ridiculous for Elaine to be talking when she's supposed to be dead.

I found that the Anne of Green Gables series is on Read Print, a free online library.
