原文
"Uncle Abe, our well-known weather prophet, predicts a violent storm
of thunder and lightning for the evening of the twenty-third of May,
beginning at seven o'clock sharp. The area of the storm will extend over
the greater part of the Province. People traveling that evening will do
well to take umbrellas and mackintoshes with them."
"Uncle Abe really has predicted a storm for sometime this spring," said Gilbert, "but do you suppose Mr. Harrison really does go to see Isabella Andrews?"
