原文
In the other corner another strange boy was sitting with Arty Sloane. . .
a jolly looking little chap, with a snub nose, freckled face, and big,
light blue eyes, fringed with whitish lashes . . . probably the DonNELL
boy; and if resemblance went for anything, his sister was sitting across
the aisle with Mary Bell. Anne wondered what sort of mother the child
had, to send her to school dressed as she was. She wore a faded pink
silk dress, trimmed with a great deal of cotton lace, soiled white
kid slippers, and silk stockings. Her sandy hair was tortured into
innumerable kinky and unnatural curls, surmounted by a flamboyant bow
of pink ribbon bigger than her head. Judging from her expression she was
very well satisfied with herself.
