原文
To sleep went Jane easily and speedily; but, though very unlike MacBeth
in most respects, she had certainly contrived to murder sleep for Anne.
That proposed-to damsel lay on a wakeful pillow until the wee sma's, but
her meditations were far from being romantic. It was not, however, until
the next morning that she had an opportunity to indulge in a good laugh
over the whole affair. When Jane had gone home--still with a hint of
frost in voice and manner because Anne had declined so ungratefully
and decidedly the honor of an alliance with the House of Andrews--Anne
retreated to the porch room, shut the door, and had her laugh out at
last.
