原文
"They are not going around until next Saturday and it will be too late
by then," said Anne firmly. "The novelty will be worn off. Lorenzo
White is dreadfully mean but he will subscribe to ANYTHING just now. We

sun upon an Easter day. When Anne asked for a subscription he agreed
enthusiastically.
