原文
"I've a blue silk to make up yet, but it's a little heavy for summer
wear. I think I'll leave it until the fall. I'm going to teach in White
Sands, you know. How do you like my hat? That one you had on in church
yesterday was real dinky. But I like something brighter for myself.
Did you notice those two ridiculous boys downstairs? They've both come
determined to sit each other out. I don't care a single bit about either
of them, you know. Herb Spencer is the one I like. Sometimes I really
do think he's MR. RIGHT. At Christmas I thought the Spencervale
schoolmaster was that. But I found out something about him that turned
me against him. He nearly went insane when I turned him down. I wish
those two boys hadn't come tonight. I wanted to have a nice good talk
with you, Anne, and tell you such heaps of things. You and I were always
good chums, weren't we?"
