原文
Anne, of late, had not been without her suspicions that Diana was
proving false to the melancholy Byronic hero of her early dreams. But
as "things seen are mightier than things heard," or suspected, the
realization that it was actually so came to her with almost the shock of
perfect surprise. This was succeeded by a queer, little lonely feeling
. . . as if, somehow, Diana had gone forward into a new world, shutting
a gate behind her, leaving Anne on the outside.
