原文
But when Anne's eyes met those of the boy at the front desk facing
her own, a queer little thrill went over her, as if she had found her
genius. She knew this must be Paul Irving and that Mrs. Rachel Lynde
had been right for once when she prophesied that he would be unlike the
Avonlea children. More than that, Anne realized that he was unlike other
children anywhere, and that there was a soul subtly akin to her own
gazing at her out of the very dark blue eyes that were watching her so
intently.
