原文
Life at Green Gables was full of just such days, for Anne's adventures
and misadventures, like those of other people, did not all happen at
once, but were sprinkled over the year, with long stretches of harmless,
happy days between, filled with work and dreams and laughter and
lessons. Such a day came late in August. In the forenoon Anne and Diana
rowed the delighted twins down the pond to the sandshore to pick "sweet
grass" and paddle in the surf, over which the wind was harping an old
lyric learned when the world was young.
