原文
Paul spent his first fortnight with his grandmother Irving in Avonlea.
Anne was there to meet him when he came, and found him wild with
eagerness to get to the shore--Nora and the Golden Lady and the Twin
Sailors would be there. He could hardly wait to eat his supper. Could
he not see Nora's elfin face peering around the point, watching for him
wistfully? But it was a very sober Paul who came back from the shore in
the twilight.
