第 12 集: Candy 在生日當天被指控偷走 Anthony 的玫瑰後逃離

12

Someone has savagely cut Anthony's rose bushes and stolen his pink roses. All evidence points to Candy who has a vase full of beautiful pink roses in her barn, which she assumes are a gift from Anthony. When Candy learns from Alistear what has occurred, she suspects Neil. Neil explains the thorn scratches on his hand as the result of playing with Sylvia, the family cat. When Anthony does not want to see Candy, she is sure that everybody believes the worst of her. Archibald finds a witness who saw Neil leave the Leagan estate the night before and the three young men trick Neil into confessing. But by then Candy is already gone in Archibald's rowboat to return to Pony's Home on the river that changes into rapid water leading to a huge waterfall. The vagabond Albert saves her from drowning and, before disappearing, directs her to write him a note in a bottle if she should ever require his assistance. When the three worried Ardley boys find Candy, Anthony explains he did not want her to see his birthday gift yet, a new rose called 'Sweet Candy'. (Source: Wikipedia)
