原文
She could not avoid seeing him again, but the outraged Charlie took care
that it should not be at very close quarters. Miss Ada's cushions were
henceforth safe from his depredations, and when he met Anne on the
street, or in Redmond's halls, his bow was icy in the extreme. Relations
between these two old schoolmates continued to be thus strained for
nearly a year! Then Charlie transferred his blighted affections to a
round, rosy, snub-nosed, blue-eyed, little Sophomore who appreciated
them as they deserved, whereupon he forgave Anne and condescended to be
civil to her again; in a patronizing manner intended to show her just
what she had lost.
