原文
Life in Avonlea continued on the smooth and even tenor of its way.
The "planting" was put in; the Improvers celebrated an Arbor Day. Each
Improver set out, or caused to be set out, five ornamental trees. As the
society now numbered forty members, this meant a total of two hundred
young trees. Early oats greened over the red fields; apple orchards
flung great blossoming arms about the farmhouses and the Snow Queen
adorned itself as a bride for her husband. Anne liked to sleep with her
window open and let the cherry fragrance blow over her face all night.
She thought it very poetical. Marilla thought she was risking her life.
