原文
"You just bet I wouldn't!" Davy was emphatic on that point. "Nor I don't
want to go out to Uncle Richard neither. I'd far rather live here, even
if Marilla is that long-tailed word when it comes to jam, 'cause YOU'RE
here, Anne. Say, Anne, won't you tell me a story 'fore I go to sleep? I
don't want a fairy story. They're all right for girls, I s'pose, but I
want something exciting . . . lots of killing and shooting in it, and a
house on fire, and in'trusting things like that."
