原文
She took Miss Lavendar on a shopping expedition to town and persuaded
her to buy a new organdy dress; then came the excitement of cutting
and making it together, while the happy Charlotta the Fourth basted and
swept up clippings. Miss Lavendar had complained that she could not feel
much interest in anything, but the sparkle came back to her eyes over
her pretty dress.
