原文
She opened the gate under the firs for them to pass through. She looked
suddenly old and tired; the glow and radiance had faded from her face;
her parting smile was as sweet with ineradicable youth as ever, but
when the girls looked back from the first curve in the lane they saw her
sitting on the old stone bench under the silver poplar in the middle of
the garden with her head leaning wearily on her hand.
