原文
"Walked, dearest of Marillas. Haven't I done it a score of times in
the Queen's days? The mailman is to bring my trunk tomorrow; I just got
homesick all at once, and came a day earlier. And oh! I've had such a
lovely walk in the May twilight; I stopped by the barrens and picked
these Mayflowers; I came through Violet-Vale; it's just a big bowlful
of violets now--the dear, sky-tinted things. Smell them, Marilla--drink
them in."
