原文
Owing to the snow she had to go around by the road to school and she
thought it was certainly an impish coincidence that Anthony Pye should
come ploughing along just as she left the Green Gables lane. She felt

astonishment Anthony not only lifted his cap . . . which he had never done
before . . . but said easily,
"Kind of bad walking, ain't it? Can I take those books for you, teacher?"
