原文
"Ruby Gillis is dying of galloping consumption," said Mrs. Lynde
bluntly. "Everybody knows it except herself and her FAMILY. They won't
give in. If you ask THEM, she's perfectly well. She hasn't been able
to teach since she had that attack of congestion in the winter, but she
says she's going to teach again in the fall, and she's after the White
Sands school. She'll be in her grave, poor girl, when White Sands school
opens, that's what."
