We make flashes with the candle by waving cardboard in front. It was my idea, Marilla!"

她的表姐们会乘一辆大雪橇过来，我们全都打算去辩论社的音乐会——当然，要是你让我去的话。你会同意的，对吧？”

" You are," admitted Matthew. But he kept asking, and eventually Marilla let Anne go to the concert

There was a gasp and a cry, and somebody said in a muffled voice," Oh my goodness!"
