原文
Avonlea folks did nothing the next day but visit each other and
compare damages. The roads were impassable for wheels by reason of the
hailstones, so they walked or rode on horseback. The mail came late with
ill tidings from all over the province. Houses had been struck, people
killed and injured; the whole telephone and telegraph system had been
disorganized, and any number of young stock exposed in the fields had
perished.
