アンの愛情 第十二章

Chapter XII "Averil's Atonement"(29)

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."
