原文
Charlotta accordingly blew, a rather raucous, strident blast. There was
moment's stillness . . . and then from the woods over the river came a
multitude of fairy echoes, sweet, elusive, silvery, as if all the "horns
of elfland" were blowing against the sunset. Anne and Diana exclaimed in
delight.
"Now laugh, Charlotta . . . laugh loudly."
