原文
"So you had tea at the stone house with Lavendar Lewis?" said Marilla
at the breakfast table next morning. "What is she like now? It's over
fifteen years since I saw her last . . . it was one Sunday in Grafton
church. I suppose she has changed a great deal. Davy Keith, when you
want something you can't reach, ask to have it passed and don't spread
yourself over the table in that fashion. Did you ever see Paul Irving
doing that when he was here to meals?"
