原文
Anne did not blush, as she usually did when the girls assumed that her
eventual marriage to Roy Gardner was a settled thing. All at once she
felt rather dull. Phil's chatter seemed trivial and the reception a
bore. She boxed poor Rusty's ears.
"Get off that cushion instantly, you cat, you! Why don't you stay down
where you belong?"
