原文
"I daresay there's been many a romance in Avonlea--and many a tragedy,
too," said Mr. Harrison drily. "But your folks ain't like real folks
anywhere. They talk too much and use too high-flown language. There's
one place where that DALRYMPLE chap talks even on for two pages, and
never lets the girl get a word in edgewise. If he'd done that in real
life she'd have pitched him."
