原文
"Well, you don't think I'll mind that, do you? Why, I'm glad of it.
I knew I should have had some such rule myself, but I hadn't enough
decision to make it or stick to it. When I can shuffle off the
responsibility on you it will be a real relief. If you won't let me cast
in my lot with you I'll die of the disappointment and then I'll come
back and haunt you. I'll camp on the very doorstep of Patty's Place and
you won't be able to go out or come in without falling over my spook."
