原文
"A very good epitaph," commented Anne thoughtfully. "I wouldn't wish a
better. We are all servants of some sort, and if the fact that we are
faithful can be truthfully inscribed on our tombstones nothing more need
be added. Here's a sorrowful little gray stone, Prissy--'to the memory
of a favorite child.' And here is another 'erected to the memory of one
who is buried elsewhere.' I wonder where that unknown grave is. Really,
Pris, the graveyards of today will never be as interesting as this. You
were right--I shall come here often. I love it already. I see we're not
alone here--there's a girl down at the end of this avenue."
