原文
"Oh, it's delightful to be living in a storybook," she thought gaily.
"It will come out all right of course . . . it must . . . and Paul will
have a mother after his own heart and everybody will be happy. But Mr.
Irving will take Miss Lavendar away . . . and dear knows what will
happen to the little stone house . . . and so there are two sides to it,
as there seems to be to everything in this world." The important note
was written and Anne herself carried it to the Grafton post office,
where she waylaid the mail carrier and asked him to leave it at the
Avonlea office.
