原文
Mr. Harrison flung the last sentence at Anne as explosively as if he
suspected her of some latent design of persuading him to give Ginger up.
Anne, however, was beginning to like the queer, fussy, fidgety little
man, and before the meal was over they were quite good friends. Mr.
Harrison found out about the Improvement Society and was disposed to
approve of it.
"That's right. Go ahead. There's lots of room for improvement in this settlement . . . and in the people too."
