原文
Diana gave Anne's foot a gentle kick under the table, meaning, "Don't
agree--she'll let it go for twenty if you hold out." But Anne was not
minded to take any chances in regard to that precious platter. She
promptly agreed to give twenty-five and Miss Sarah looked as if she felt
sorry she hadn't asked for thirty.
