原文
"Yes, I will. But I hope Davy won't be there when I go because he makes
faces at me. I don't mind VERY much because he is such a little boy and
I am quite a big one, but still it is not pleasant to have faces made
at you. And Davy makes such terrible ones. Sometimes I am frightened he
will never get his face straightened out again. He makes them at me
in church when I ought to be thinking of sacred things. Dora likes me
though, and I like her, but not so well as I did before she told
Minnie May Barry that she meant to marry me when I grew up. I may marry
somebody when I grow up but I'm far too young to be thinking of it yet,
don't you think, teacher?"
"Rather young," agreed teacher.
