赤毛のアン 第二十七章

CHAPTER XXVII. Vanity and Vexation of Spirit(18)

原文
Accordingly, Anne washed her hair, scrubbing it vigorously with soap and water, but for all the difference it made she might as well have been scouring its original red. The peddler had certainly spoken the truth when he declared that the dye wouldn't wash off, however his veracity might be impeached in other respects.
