原文
A bolder and more self-possessed lad than Joe Sloane would have been
overawed by her tone and the dangerous flash of her eyes. This was a new
Anne whom none of her pupils had ever seen before. Joe, with an agonized
glance at St. Clair, went to the stove, opened the big, square front
door, and threw the blue and white parcel in, before St. Clair, who
had sprung to his feet, could utter a word. Then he dodged back just in
time.
