原文
"I'm afraid not. Platters as old as that are very scarce. Mrs. Lynde
couldn't find one anywhere for the supper. I only wish I could, for of
course Miss Barry would just as soon have one platter as another, if
both were equally old and genuine. Marilla, look at that big star over
Mr. Harrison's maple grove, with all that holy hush of silvery sky about
it. It gives me a feeling that is like a prayer. After all, when one
can see stars and skies like that, little disappointments and accidents
can't matter so much, can they?"
