原文
"Every time you go to see Ruby you come home looking tired out," she
said.
"It's so very sad and dreadful," said Anne in a low tone. "Ruby doesn't seem to realize her condition in the least. And yet I somehow feel she needs help--craves it--and I want to give it to her and can't. All the time I'm with her I feel as if I were watching her struggle with an invisible foe--trying to push it back with such feeble resistance as she has. That is why I come home tired."
