原文
"I daresay Rachel would be curious," admitted Marilla, "though she
hasn't as much time as she used to have for looking after other people's
affairs. She's tied home now on account of Thomas; and she's feeling
pretty downhearted, for I think she's beginning to lose hope of his ever
getting better. Rachel will be left pretty lonely if anything happens to
him, with all her children settled out west, except Eliza in town; and
she doesn't like her husband."
Marilla's pronouns slandered Eliza, who was very fond of her husband.
