原文
Behind them in the garden the little stone house brooded among the
shadows. It was lonely but not forsaken. It had not yet done with dreams
and laughter and the joy of life; there were to be future summers for
the little stone house; meanwhile, it could wait. And over the river in
purple durance the echoes bided their time.
