原文
"Oh, mother rampaged. But I stood rockfirm--even I, Philippa Gordon, who
never before could hold fast to anything. Father was calmer. Father's
own daddy was a minister, so you see he has a soft spot in his heart for
the cloth. I had Jo up to Mount Holly, after mother grew calm, and
they both loved him. But mother gave him some frightful hints in every
conversation regarding what she had hoped for me. Oh, my vacation
pathway hasn't been exactly strewn with roses, girls dear. But--I've won
out and I've got Jo. Nothing else matters."
