原文
"Well, I ain't going to let anybody else pull it," said Davy, doubling
up his fists and frowning. "They'd just better try it. I didn't hurt her
much . . . she just cried 'cause she's a girl. I'm glad I'm a boy but I'm
sorry I'm a twin. When Jimmy Sprott's sister conterdicks him he just
says, 'I'm oldern you, so of course I know better,' and that settles
HER. But I can't tell Dora that, and she just goes on thinking diffrunt
from me. You might let me drive the gee-gee for a spell, since I'm a
man."
