原文
"I suppose, Anne, you must think it's funny I should like Fred so well
when he's so different from the kind of man I've always said I would
marry . . . the tall, slender kind? But somehow I wouldn't want Fred to be
tall and slender . . . because, don't you see, he wouldn't be Fred then.
Of course," added Diana rather dolefully, "we will be a dreadfully pudgy
couple. But after all that's better than one of us being short and fat
and the other tall and lean, like Morgan Sloane and his wife. Mrs. Lynde
says it always makes her think of the long and short of it when she sees
them together."
