アンの青春 第三章

CHAPTER III Mr. Harrison at Home(6)

原文
"Then it's the cabbages! She's broken into my cabbages that I was raising for Exhibition, hey?"

"It's NOT the cabbages, Mr. Harrison. I'll tell you everything . . . that is what I came for--but please don't interrupt me. It makes me so nervous. Just let me tell my story and don't say anything till I get through--and then no doubt you'll say plenty," Anne concluded, but in thought only.

"I won't say another word," said Mr. Harrison, and he didn't. But Ginger was not bound by any contract of silence and kept ejaculating, "Redheaded snippet" at intervals until Anne felt quite wild.
