原文
"Why can't we walk?" suggested Anne. "If we go straight back through the
woods we'll strike the West Grafton road not far from the Kimball place.
I was through that way last winter and I know the road. It's no more
than four miles and we won't have to walk home, for Oliver Kimball will
be sure to drive us. He'll be only too glad of the excuse, for he goes
to see Carrie Sloane and they say his father will hardly ever let him
have a horse."
