赤毛のアン 第三十一章

CHAPTER XXXI. Where the Brook and River Meet(14)

原文
"You don't chatter half as much as you used to, Anne, nor use half as many big words. What has come over you?"

Anne colored and laughed a little, as she dropped her book and looked dreamily out of the window, where big fat red buds were bursting out on the creeper in response to the lure of the spring sunshine.
