原文
"Because I'm not half so silly as I seem on the surface, you know. You
just accept Philippa Gordon, as the Lord made her, with all her faults,
and I believe you'll come to like her. Isn't this graveyard a sweet
place? I'd love to be buried here. Here's a grave I didn't see
before--this one in the iron railing--oh, girls, look, see--the stone
says it's the grave of a middy who was killed in the fight between the
Shannon and the Chesapeake. Just fancy!"
