原文
"You've been a good wife to me, Rachel," he once said simply, when she
was sitting by him in the dusk, holding his thin, blanched old hand
in her work-hardened one. "A good wife. I'm sorry I ain't leaving you
better off; but the children will look after you. They're all smart,
capable children, just like their mother. A good mother . . . a good
woman . . . ."
