原文
"No, indeed, you won't," said Anne vehemently. "If you do the story of
this will get out everywhere and I shall be ashamed to show my face.
No, we must just wait until the Copp girls come home and bind them
to secrecy. They'll know where the axe is and get me out. I'm not
uncomfortable, as long as I keep perfectly still . . . not uncomfortable
in BODY I mean. I wonder what the Copp girls value this house at. I
shall have to pay for the damage I've done, but I wouldn't mind that if
I were only sure they would understand my motive in peeping in at their
pantry window. My sole comfort is that the platter is just the kind I
want and if Miss Copp will only sell it to me I shall be resigned to
what has happened."
