原文
"That doesn't sound very attractive," laughed Anne. "I like people to
have a little nonsense about them. But I'm inclined to have a better
opinion of Miss Carson than you have. I saw her in prayer-meeting last
night, and she has a pair of eyes that can't always look sensible. Now,
Davy-boy, take heart of grace. 'Tomorrow will bring another day' and
I'll help you with the sums as far as in me lies. Don't waste this
lovely hour 'twixt light and dark worrying over arithmetic."
