原文
"It's a very good thing about the money," said Marilla practically. "I
wanted to keep them but I really didn't see how I could afford to do
it, especially when they grew older. The rent of the farm doesn't do any
more than keep the house and I was bound that not a cent of your money
should be spent on them. You do far too much for them as it is. Dora
didn't need that new hat you bought her any more than a cat needs two
tails. But now the way is made clear and they are provided for."
