原文
Mrs. Gillis called Anne aside into a vacant room before the funeral
procession left the house, and gave her a small packet.
"I want you to have this," she sobbed. "Ruby would have liked you to have it. It's the embroidered centerpiece she was working at. It isn't quite finished--the needle is sticking in it just where her poor little fingers put it the last time she laid it down, the afternoon before she died."
