原文
Out came the sunset; but in spite of this heroic mutilation the editor
of the Canadian Woman sent Averil's Atonement back so promptly that the
indignant Diana declared that it couldn't have been read at all, and
vowed she was going to stop her subscription immediately. Anne took this
second rejection with the calmness of despair. She locked the story away
in the garret trunk where the old Story Club tales reposed; but first
she yielded to Diana's entreaties and gave her a copy.
