-Alexander Hamilton
Of course, Dimple knows nothing about teaching and, if the contest had been in maths or science, he would be a disaster. But Dimple uses his knowledge and ability to put on a show to stage a bunch of historical reenactments, having the children take part in them. The one pictured above is from their reenactment of a Viking raid on the English coast, during which Hetty, shamelessly spying, is almost skewered by a stray arrow. In the end, the Avonlea students win the competition because, as it turns out, they remember events and dates better if their interest is engaged and they've actively participated in their lessons. Imagine that. Hetty returns to teaching, having learned a valuable lesson herself on how to inspire her students and Dimple slips out of town before it's widely known he's a fake; Alec, who had found him out right before the competition, keeps it quiet. Dimple, encouraged by his success in Avonlea, reads in the paper about a small town elsewhere which is looking for a church minister... he cheerfully turns his collar about to resemble a clerical one and heads off to his next acting job.
