原文
"Yes. We've kept it faithfully. We've had a beautiful friendship, Diana.
We've never marred it by one quarrel or coolness or unkind word; and
I hope it will always be so. But things can't be quite the same after
this. You'll have other interests. I'll just be on the outside. But
'such is life' as Mrs. Rachel says. Mrs. Rachel has given you one of
her beloved knitted quilts of the 'tobacco stripe' pattern, and she says
when I am married she'll give me one, too."
