原文
"This is where the bad wood elves dwell," whispered Anne. "They are
impish and malicious but they can't harm us, because they are not
allowed to do evil in the spring. There was one peeping at us around
that old twisted fir; and didn't you see a group of them on that big
freckly toadstool we just passed? The good fairies always dwell in the
sunshiny places."
