原文
"She does look lonely," said Diana softly. "We must come often to see
her."
"I think her parents gave her the only right and fitting name that could
possibly be given her," said Anne. "If they had been so blind as to name
her Elizabeth or Nellie or Muriel she must have been called
Lavendar just the same, I think. It's so suggestive of sweetness and
old-fashioned graces and 'silk attire.' Now, my name just smacks of
bread and butter, patchwork and chores."
