原文
"Oh, it isn't in the least extraordinary that I should be getting myself
and other people into scrapes," said Anne mournfully. "I'm noted for
that. You might suppose I'd have grown out of it by this time . . . I'll
be seventeen next March . . . but it seems that I haven't. Mr. Harrison,
is it too much to hope that you'll forgive me? I'm afraid it's too late
to get your cow back, but here is the money for her . . . or you can have
mine in exchange if you'd rather. She's a very good cow. And I can't
express how sorry I am for it all."
