原文
While Anne was not beautiful in any strictly defined sense of the word
she possessed a certain evasive charm and distinction of appearance that
left beholders with a pleasurable sense of satisfaction in that softly
rounded girlhood of hers, with all its strongly felt potentialities.
Those who knew Anne best felt, without realizing that they felt it, that
her greatest attraction was the aura of possibility surrounding her. . .
the power of future development that was in her. She seemed to walk in
an atmosphere of things about to happen.
