They had simply rounded a curve in the road and found themselves in the "Avenue." The "Avenue," so called by the Newbridge people, was a stretch of road four or five hundred yards long, &br() &color(purple){400～500ヤード＝365～451 m} &br() completely arched over with huge, wide-spreading apple-trees, planted years ago by an eccentric old farmer. Overhead was one long canopy of snowy fragrant bloom. &br() &color(purple){「snowy fragrant bloom」これが桜だったなら、fragrant bloomにはならない。木の肌や枝振りからも違いはわかるでしょうけれども、花の匂いがすると、どんな木かもわかるのでしょう} &br() Below the boughs the air was full of a purple twilight and far ahead a glimpse of painted sunset sky shone like a great rose window at the end of a cathedral aisle. Its beauty seemed to strike the child dumb. She leaned back in the buggy, her thin hands clasped before her, her face lifted rapturously to the white splendor above. &br() &color(purple){「rapturously」狂喜して。これ以降、raptとその仲間の単語が連発されます（4回）} &br() Even when they had passed out and were driving down the long slope to Newbridge she never moved or spoke. Still with rapt face she gazed afar into the sunset west, with eyes that saw visions trooping splendidly across that glowing background. Through Newbridge, a bustling little village where dogs barked at them and small boys hooted and curious faces peered from the windows, they drove, still in silence. When three more miles had dropped away behind them the child had not spoken. She could keep silence, it was evident, as energetically as she could talk. "I guess you're feeling pretty tired and hungry," Matthew ventured to say at last, accounting for her long visitation of dumbness with the only reason he could think of. "But we haven't very far to go now--only another mile." She came out of her reverie with a deep sigh and looked at him with the dreamy gaze of a soul that had been wondering afar, star-led. "Oh, Mr. Cuthbert," she whispered, "that place we came through--that white place--what was it?" "Well now, you must mean the Avenue," said Matthew after a few moments' profound reflection. "It is a kind of pretty place." "Pretty? Oh, PRETTY doesn't seem the right word to use. Nor beautiful, either. They don't go far enough. Oh, it was wonderful--wonderful. It's the first thing I ever saw that couldn't be improved upon by imagination. It just satisfies me here"--she put one hand on her breast--"it made a queer funny ache and yet it was a pleasant ache. Did you ever have an ache like that, Mr. Cuthbert?" "Well now, I just can't recollect that I ever had." "I have it lots of time--whenever I see anything royally beautiful. But they shouldn't call that lovely place the Avenue. There is no meaning in a name like that. They should call it--let me see--the White Way of Delight. &br() &color(purple){「the White Way of Delight」おしゃべり以外でアンを特徴づけるエピソードと名付け癖。この「並木道」は訳者のみなさんを悩ませたような感じを受けます。歓喜の白路（村岡訳）→歓喜の白い路（中村訳）→歓喜の白い道（神山訳）→歓喜の白路（茅野訳）→歓びの白い路（松本訳）→喜びの白い道（掛川訳）。茅野訳を除けば、古い順に難しい漢字から易しい漢字の使い方になっていきます。耳で聞くなら、カンキノハクロではなくヨロコビノシロイミチがわかりやすいのですが、big wordsをたくさん使うアンの言葉ならば、漢語のほうが適切なのかも、と思えなくもありません。ちなみにアニメーションは神山訳に基くそうですけど、カンキノシロイミチではなく「ヨロコビノシロイミチ」で、音優先のようです} &br() Isn't that a nice imaginative name? When I don't like the name of a place or a person I always imagine a new one and always think of them so. There was a girl at the asylum whose name was Hepzibah Jenkins, &br() &color(green){「Hepzibah Jenkins」松本訳注第2章(13) p. 458参照} &br() but I always imagined her as Rosalia DeVere. &br() &color(purple){「DeVere」 Puffin Books版では、De Vere と De と Vere の間に空白が入っている} &br() &color(green){「Rosalia DeVere」松本訳注第2章(14) p. 458参照} &br() Other people may call that place the Avenue, but I shall always call it the White Way of Delight. Have we really only another mile to go before we get home? I'm glad and I'm sorry. I'm sorry because this drive has been so pleasant and I'm always sorry when pleasant things end. Something still pleasanter may come after, but you can never be sure. And it's so often the case that it isn't pleasanter. That has been my experience anyhow. But I'm glad to think of getting home. You see, I've never had a real home since I can remember. It gives me that pleasant ache again just to think of coming to a really truly home. &br() &color(purple){「home」このおしゃべりの中だけで4回 home が出てくる。アンは get(tting) home に着くと表現もしていますが、地の文では house に到着と表現され（By the time they arrived at the house とか she followed him into the house）、home ではなく、建物としての家となる} &br() Oh, isn't that pretty!" They had driven over the crest of a hill. Below them was a pond, looking almost like a river so long and winding was it. A bridge spanned it midway and from there to its lower end, where an amber-hued belt of sand-hills shut it in from the dark blue gulf beyond, the water was a glory of many shifting hues--the most spiritual shadings of crocus and rose and ethereal green, with other elusive tintings for which no name has ever been found. Above the bridge the pond ran up into fringing groves of fir and maple and lay all darkly translucent in their wavering shadows. &br() &color(purple){「maple」'''Acer''' sp. カエデ。プリンスエドワード島には、カエデの仲間が複数種あるようです。ここに出てくるmapleがどの種類かは確定できません（やはりプリンスエドワード島に行かねばわからない……）。ですが、アヴォンリーにも確実にあるはずなのは、サトウカエデ'''Acer saccharum'''。写真は、ヴァンダービルト大学の[[生物科学科 Steve Baskauf さんのページ>http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/acsa3.htm]]、[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_saccharum]]をどうぞ} &br() Here and there a wild plum leaned out from the bank like a white-clad girl tip-toeing to her own reflection. &br() &color(purple){「clad」clotheの過去分詞} &br() From the marsh at the head of the pond came the clear, mournfully-sweet chorus of the frogs. &br() &color(purple){「frogs」カエルの種類は調べきれていません。数少ない動物の音。この『アン』には、あまり動物の声は表現されていません。木々（植物）の様子や風景の描写はたくさんありますが、動物は少ない} &br() There was a little gray house peering around a white apple orchard on a slope beyond and, although it was not yet quite dark, a light was shining from one of its windows. "That's Barry's pond," said Matthew. "Oh, I don't like that name, either. I shall call it--let me see--the Lake of Shining Waters. &br() &color(purple){「the Lake of Shining Waters」湖水か湖か。直訳すると「水が輝いている湖」「輝く水の湖」なんでしょうけど、ミズとミズウミと音が重なってしまうので（語源が水海だから仕方ありませんが）、これではよい訳にはなりません。輝く湖水（村岡訳）、輝く湖（中村訳）、輝く湖水（神山訳）、輝きの湖水（茅野訳）、輝く湖水（松本訳）、輝く湖（掛川訳）。ちなみにアニメーションは神山訳に基くそうですけど、「きらめきの湖」。英語にとらわれていない分、耳で聞いてわかりやすい（誰がこうしたんでしょう？）} &br() Yes, that is the right name for it. I know because of the thrill. When I hit on a name that suits exactly it gives me a thrill. Do things ever give you a thrill?" Matthew ruminated. "Well now, yes. It always kind of gives me a thrill to see them ugly white grubs that spade up in the cucumber beds. I hate the look of them." "Oh, I don't think that can be exactly the same kind of a thrill. Do you think it can? There doesn't seem to be much connection between grubs and lakes of shining waters, does there? But why do other people call it Barry's pond?" "I reckon because Mr. Barry lives up there in that house. Orchard Slope's the name of his place. If it wasn't for that big bush behind it you could see Green Gables from here. But we have to go over the bridge and round by the road, so it's near half a mile further." "Has Mr. Barry any little girls? Well, not so very little either--about my size." &br() &color(purple){「about my size.」size は、大きさであって年齢は指さないとは思うのですが、アンはsize を使っている。答えるマシューも年齢を言う。子供は体の大きさをいうより年齢をいうほうがいいのは当然ですが、size と尋ねるところに不思議さを感じました。なお、Puffin Books版では、ピリオドで終わらず、クエスチョンマーク} &br() "He's got one about eleven. &br() &color(purple){「He's got」He has got = He has。have got = have イギリス英語} &br() Her name is Diana." &br() &color(green){「Diana」松本訳注第2章(15) p. 459参照} "Oh!" with a long indrawing of breath. "What a perfectly lovely name!" "Well now, I dunno. There's something dreadful heathenish about it, seems to me. &br() &color(purple){「dreadful heathenish」恐しいほど異教徒のよう。Diana はローマ神話の女神（[[ウィキペディア（日）>http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8A]]）なので、キリスト教徒から見ると異教徒の名前。sensibleでないとマシューが思う（次の言葉）のはこのため} &br() I'd ruther Jane or Mary or some sensible name like that. But when Diana was born there was a schoolmaster boarding there and they gave him the naming of her and he called her Diana." &br() &color(purple){「they gave him ...」この they は、Barrys（バリー家の人々、または、Mr and Mrs Barry） のはずですが、指している単語はありません。him は a schoolmaster。この校長先生は男性（女性なら、schoolmistress）。ステイシー先生が来るまで、アヴォンリーでは女性の先生はいなかったので（[[CHAPTER XXII with impression]] Anne is Invited Out to Tea）、アヴォンリーの学校の校長なら女性であるはずはありません。が、しかし、アヴォンリーの学校は先生一人の学校なので、ここで言う schoolmaster がどういう立場なのかは不明} "I wish there had been a schoolmaster like that around when I was born, then. &br() &color(purple){これは、「アンは、落ちついたほんとうにいい名前です」とマリラに言われる伏線。"Anne is a real good plain sensible name." [[CHAPTER III with impression]] Marilla Cuthbert is Surprised} &br() Oh, here we are at the bridge. I'm going to shut my eyes tight. I'm always afraid going over bridges. I can't help imagining that perhaps just as we get to the middle, they'll crumple up like a jack-knife and nip us. So I shut my eyes. But I always have to open them for all when I think we're getting near the middle. &br() &color(purple){「open them」の them は前の文の my eyes} &br() Because, you see, if the bridge DID crumple up I'd want to SEE it crumple. &br() &color(purple){仮定法過去} &br() What a jolly rumble it makes! I always like the rumble part of it. Isn't it splendid there are so many things to like in this world? There we're over. Now I'll look back. Good night, dear Lake of Shining Waters. I always say good night to the things I love, just as I would to people. I think they like it. That water looks as if it was smiling at me." &br() &color(purple){「Good night」を言う。でも、アンは、次章で、そう言われて傷つく、の伏線 [[CHAPTER III with impression]] Marilla Cuthbert is Surprised} &br() When they had driven up the further hill and around a corner Matthew said: "We're pretty near home now. That's Green Gables over--" "Oh, don't tell me," she interrupted breathlessly, catching at his partially raised arm and shutting her eyes that she might not see his gesture. "Let me guess. I'm sure I'll guess right." She opened her eyes and looked about her. They were on the crest of a hill. The sun had set some time since, &br() &color(purple){「since」前に} &br() but the landscape was still clear in the mellow afterlight. To the west a dark church spire rose up against a marigold sky. &br() &color(green){「a marigold sky」松本訳注第2章(16) p. 459参照} &br() Below was a little valley and beyond a long, gently-rising slope with snug farmsteads scattered along it. From one to another the child's eyes darted, eager and wistful. At last they lingered on one away to the left, &br() &color(purple){「they lingered on」linger 長居する、ぐずぐずする、いつまでも思案する。pointed のような単語ではないのは、アンがすぐにわかったことしていないことが伝わる。ここだけでは、悩んだのか、わかったけれでもすぐ言うと dream が覚めてしまいそうでいやだったのか、そういったことはわからない。とにかく、即断即決という様子ではない目の動きをした。they は child's eyes} &br() far back from the road, &br() &color(purple){「far back from the road」グリーンゲイブルズは道路から奥まったところにあると前章で紹介されている。"Green Gables was built at the furthest edge of his cleared land and there it was to this day, barely visible from the main road along which all the other Avonlea houses were so sociably situated." [[CHAPTER I with impression]] Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Surprised} &br() dimly white with blossoming trees in the twilight of the surrounding woods. Over it, in the stainless southwest sky, a great crystal-white star was shining like a lamp of guidance and promise. &br() &color(purple){「in the stainless southwest sky, a great crystal-white star」南西の空に白く輝く大きな星。この星は何？ここでは、すこし無理して、しし座のレグルス、と一応の結論としておきます。6月11日の日没後（8時）に南から西に見える明るい星（1等星以上）は、おとめ座のスピカ（青白色：ほぼ南）、しし座のレグルス（白色：西南西）、ふたご座のポルックス（黄みの橙色、ほとんど西）、こいぬ座のプロキオン（黄色、高度が低くて見えないかも）の4つ。このうち西側に見える白い星はレグルスだけ。高度も十分あります。9時ごろになって、ようやくスピカが南南西（南中が8時10分頃）。モードが意識していたかどうかはわかりませんが（意識していないに違いありませんが）、どんぴしゃの星はありません……。参考になりそうなページをいくつか。6月15日の21時の空は[[つるちゃんのプラネタリウムの６月の星空>http://homepage2.nifty.com/turupura/guide/star/regurusu.html]]。レグルスの説明は[[つるちゃんのプラネタリウムのレグルス>http://homepage2.nifty.com/turupura/guide/star/regurusu.html]]、[[ウィキペディア（日）>http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B9]]。スピカの説明は[[つるちゃんのプラネタリウムのスピカ>http://homepage2.nifty.com/turupura/guide/star/supika.html]]、[[ウィキペディア（日）>http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%94%E3%82%AB]]。星座早見で6月11日の日没の時刻を調べたら、北緯45度では7時40分ごろ。シャーロットタウンが46度14分なので、誤差は小さいはず。8時なら「The sun had set some time since」として問題なし。9時は遅すぎる気がします。夜9時すぎに見える南西の白い星ならば、おとめ座のスピカで決まりですが……} &br() "That's it, isn't it?" she said, pointing. Matthew slapped the reins on the sorrel's back delightedly. "Well now, you've guessed it! But I reckon Mrs. Spencer described it so's you could tell." &br() &color(purple){「so's」＝ so as} &br() "No, she didn't--really she didn't. All she said might just as well have been about most of those other places. I hadn't any real idea what it looked like. But just as soon as I saw it I felt it was home. &br() &color(purple){「home」アンは home という} &br() Oh, it seems as if I must be in a dream. Do you know, my arm must be black and blue from the elbow up, &br() &color(purple){「from the elbow up」肘より up。ということは、肩のほう？、手のほう？ 肘から先（松本訳、中村訳）、肘のところから（村岡訳：これは肘より先と解釈するほうが自然？）、ひじから上（神山訳）、肘より上（茅野訳、掛川訳）。肘より上（肩のほう、上腕、二の腕）は upper arm、肘より先（前腕）は forearm というそうですが（[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm]]）、これは少々医学に偏っている使い方なので、実際のおしゃべりで、up がどっちなのかは不明。夢かどうか確かめるためにつねるのはどこ？と当時のプリンスエドワード島の人に尋ねないとだめかもしれませんが、今となっては不可能。右の頬ではないようですけど（日本ならそうじゃないかしら）} &br() for I've pinched myself so many times today. Every little while a horrible sickening feeling would come over me and I'd be so afraid it was all a dream. Then I'd pinch myself to see if it was real--until suddenly I remembered that even supposing it was only a dream I'd better go on dreaming as long as I could; so I stopped pinching. But it IS real and we're nearly home." With a sigh of rapture she relapsed into silence. Matthew stirred uneasily. &br() &color(purple){アンに home を連発され、「we're nearly home」と言われれば落ち着かなくなるのは当然} &br() He felt glad that it would be Marilla and not he who would have to tell this waif of the world that the home she longed for was not to be hers after all. &br() &color(purple){「hers」＝ her home} &br() They drove over Lynde's Hollow, where it was already quite dark, but not so dark that Mrs. Rachel could not see them from her window vantage, and up the hill and into the long lane of Green Gables. By the time they arrived at the house &br() &color(purple){「the house」ここでは、home ではない。建物としての house} &br() Matthew was shrinking from the approaching revelation with an energy he did not understand. It was &br() &color(purple){「It」これは、an energy でしょうか} &br() not of Marilla or himself he was thinking of the trouble this mistake was probably going to make for them, but of the child's disappointment. When he thought of that rapt light being quenched in her eyes he had an uncomfortable feeling that he was going to assist at murdering something--much the same feeling that came over him when he had to kill a lamb or calf or any other innocent little creature. The yard was quite dark as they turned into it and the poplar leaves were rustling silkily all round it. "Listen to the trees talking in their sleep," she whispered, as he lifted her to the ground. "What nice dreams they must have!"

When he reached Bright River there was no sign of any train; he thought he was too early, so he tied his horse in the yard of the small Bright River hotel and went over to the station house.

He could not tell this child with the glowing eyes that there had been a mistake; he would take her home and let Marilla do that.

"Well now, I dunno," said Matthew. "Well, that is one of the things to find out sometime. Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about?

Would you rather I didn't talk? If you say so I'll stop. I can STOP when I make up my mind to it, although it's difficult." Matthew, much to his own surprise, was enjoying himself. Like most quiet folks he liked talkative people when they were willing to do the talking themselves and did not expect him to keep up his end of it. But he had never expected to enjoy the society of a little girl. &br() &color(purple){「society」一緒にいること} &br() Women were bad enough in all conscience, but little girls were worse. He detested the way they had of sidling past him timidly, &br() &color(purple){「sidling past him」自分がされるのはいやなのに、マシューはアンに対しても同じことをした（上のほうで、sidled past her）} &br() with sidewise glances, as if they expected him to gobble them up at a mouthful if they ventured to say a word.

"Mrs. Spencer said that my tongue must be hung in the middle. But it isn't--it's firmly fastened at one end. Mrs. Spencer said your place was named Green Gables. I asked her all about it.

I can't feel exactly perfectly happy because--well, what color would you call this?" She twitched one of her long glossy braids over her thin shoulder and held it up before Matthew's eyes. Matthew was not used to deciding on the tints of ladies' tresses, but in this case there couldn't be much doubt. "It's red, ain't it?" he said. &br() &color(purple){「ain't it」ここは、isn't it ではないでしょうか。「正しい」文法なら。と書いてみたのですが念のため辞書を見ると、ain't は am not だけでなく、are ［is, have, has］ not でもあるようです。話しことばは難しい} &br() The girl let the braid drop back with a sigh that seemed to come from her very toes and to exhale forth all the sorrows of the ages. &br() &color(purple){「the ages」積年の、という感じでしょうか} &br() "Yes, it's red," she said resignedly.

I do my best. I think to myself, `Now my hair is a glorious black, black as the raven's wing.' But all the time I KNOW it is just plain red and it breaks my heart. It will be my lifelong sorrow.

"Well now, I'm afraid I can't," said Matthew, who was getting a little dizzy. He felt as he had once felt in his rash youth when another boy had enticed him on the merry-go- round at a picnic. "Well, whatever it was it must have been something nice because she was divinely beautiful. Have you ever imagined what it must feel like to be divinely beautiful?" "Well now, no, I haven't," confessed Matthew ingenuously. "I have, often. Which would you rather be if you had the choice--divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?" "Well now, I--I don't know exactly." "Neither do I. I can never decide. But it doesn't make much real difference for it isn't likely I'll ever be either. It's certain I'll never be angelically good.

She was a notable housewife; her work was always done and well done; she "ran" the Sewing Circle, helped run the Sunday-school, and was the strongest prop of the Church Aid Society and Foreign Missions Auxiliary.

Had it been any other man in Avonlea, &br() &color(purple){「Had it been ...」仮定法} &br() Mrs. Rachel, deftly putting this and that together, might have given a pretty good guess as to both questions. But Matthew so rarely went from home that it must be something pressing and unusual which was taking him; he was the shyest man alive and hated to have to go among strangers or to any place where he might have to talk. Matthew, dressed up with a white collar and driving in a buggy, was something that didn't happen often. Mrs. Rachel, ponder as she might, could make nothing of it and her afternoon's enjoyment was spoiled. "I'll just step over to Green Gables after tea &br() &color(purple){「after tea」ということは夕方。} &br() and find out from Marilla where he's gone and why," &br() &color(green){「Marilla」松本訳注第1章(7) p. 451参照} &br() the worthy woman finally concluded. "He doesn't generally go to town this time of year and he NEVER visits; if he'd run out of turnip seed he wouldn't dress up and take the buggy to go for more; he wasn't driving fast enough to be going for a doctor. Yet something must have happened since last night to start him off. I'm clean puzzled, that's what, and I won't know a minute's peace of mind or conscience until I know what has taken Matthew Cuthbert out of Avonlea today." Accordingly after tea Mrs. Rachel set out; she had not far to go; the big, rambling, orchard-embowered house where the Cuthberts lived was a scant quarter of a mile up the road from Lynde's Hollow. To be sure, the long lane made it a good deal further. Matthew Cuthbert's father, as shy and silent as his son after him, had got as far away as he possibly could from his fellow men without actually retreating into the woods when he founded his homestead. &br() &color(purple){「when he founded his homestead」マシューのお父さんが開墾したようですね} &br() Green Gables was built at the furthest edge of his cleared land and there it was to this day, barely visible from the main road along which all the other Avonlea houses were so sociably situated. Mrs. Rachel Lynde did not call living in such a place LIVING at all. "It's just STAYING, that's what," she said as she stepped along the deep-rutted, grassy lane bordered with wild rose bushes. &br() &color(purple){「deep-rutted、grassy lane」深い轍のある、ということは、草の生えた小径とはいえ、普段馬車か荷車が通れるだけの幅がある。同じ lane でも Lover's Lane（恋人たちの小径（[[CHAPTER XV with impression]] A Tempest in the School Teapot））は、普段は牛の歩くところなので、深い轍はなく狭い} &br() &color(purple){「rose」'''Rosa''' sp. バラはややこしくてよくわかりません。ただ、俗称として wild rose というなら、花弁が八重ではないものでしょう。なので、例えば、[[こんな感じ>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_acicularis]]} &br() "It's no wonder Matthew and Marilla are both a little odd, living away back here by themselves. Trees aren't much company, though dear knows if they were there'd be enough of them. &br() &color(purple){「dear knows」= God knows 誰も知らない} &br() I'd ruther look at people. To be sure, they seem contented enough; but then, I suppose, they're used to it. A body can get used to anything, even to being hanged, as the Irishman said." &br() &color(green){「as the Irishman said」松本訳注第1章(8) p. 451参照} With this Mrs. Rachel stepped out of the lane into the backyard of Green Gables. Very green and neat and precise was that yard, set about on one side with great patriarchal willows &br() &color(purple){「willows」ヤナギ。'''Salix''' sp. ヤナギ属には大きなものから草丈ほどの小さなもの（極寒の種類らしい）もあるそうです。しかしここでは、家の主のような大きな木。写真は[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willow]]、や[[ウィキペディア（日）>http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A4%E3%83%8A%E3%82%AE]]をどうぞ} &br() and the other with prim Lombardies. &br() &color(purple){「Lombardies」= Lombardy poplars セイヨウハコヤナギ。いわゆるポプラ。'''Populus nigra''' var.

Privately she was of the opinion that Marilla Cuthbert swept that yard over as often as she swept her house. One could have eaten a meal off the ground without overbrimming the proverbial peck of dirt. &br() &color(green){「the proverbial peck of dirt」松本訳注第1章(9) p. 452参照} Mrs. Rachel rapped smartly at the kitchen door and stepped in when bidden to do so. The kitchen at Green Gables was a cheerful apartment-- &br() &color(purple){「apartment」部屋} &br() or would have been cheerful &br() &color(purple){「would have been cheerfu」仮定法} &br() if it had not been so painfully clean as to give it something of the appearance of an unused parlor. Its windows looked east and west; through the west one, looking out on the back yard, came a flood of mellow June sunlight; but the east one, whence you got a glimpse of the bloom white cherry-trees in the left orchard &br() &color(purple){「white cherry-trees in the left orchard 」果樹園にある桜の木ということはサクランボの木。ですので、sour cherry '''Prunus cerasus''' ではないでしょうか。実の写真は[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_cerasus]]にあります。サクラ全般については[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry]]もどうぞ} &br() and nodding, slender birches down in the hollow by the brook, &br() &color(purple){「birch」カバ。ここでは幹の白いカバかと思います。このあと、何度も white birch が出てくるので。とすると、幹の白いカバは、'''Betula papyrifera'''。写真は[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Birch]]にあります。この白いカバの分布は[[eFloras.org（英）>http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=5753&flora_id=1]]をどうぞ。日本のシラカバ（'''Betula platyphylla''' var.

There were three plates laid, so that Marilla must be expecting some one home with Matthew to tea; &br() &color(purple){「tea」これは上で出てきた、supper を指す} but the dishes were everyday dishes and there was only crab-apple preserves and one kind of cake, &br() &color(green){「only crab-apple preserves」松本訳注第1章(10) p. 452参照} &br() &color(purple){「crab-apple」野生のりんご。'''Malus''' sp. crabappleと呼ぶのはいろいろな種があるようですが、いずれも実の小さい野生りんご。写真は[[ウィキペディア（英）>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malus]]にあります（わかりづらいかもしれません）} &br() so that the expected company could not be any particular company. Yet what of Matthew's white collar and the sorrel mare? Mrs. Rachel was getting fairly dizzy with this unusual mystery about quiet, unmysterious Green Gables. "Good evening, Rachel," Marilla said briskly. &br() &color(purple){「briskly」マリラがきびきびと答えを返しているので、このあとリンド夫人が体を心配しているというのが、ずれている感じを強調する} &br() "This is a real fine evening, isn't it? Won't you sit down? How are all your folks?" Something that for lack of any other name might be called friendship existed and always had existed between Marilla Cuthbert and Mrs. Rachel, in spite of--or perhaps because of--their dissimilarity. Marilla was a tall, thin woman, with angles and without curves; her dark hair showed some gray streaks and was always twisted up in a hard little knot behind with two wire hairpins stuck aggressively through it. She looked like a woman of narrow experience and rigid conscience, which she was; but there was a saving something about her mouth which, if it had been ever so slightly developed, might have been considered indicative of a sense of humor. &br() &color(purple){このマリラの描写は、[[CHAPTER XXXIII with impression]] The Hotel Concert で比較される} "We're all pretty well," said Mrs. Rachel. "I was kind of afraid YOU weren't, though, when I saw Matthew starting off today. I thought maybe he was going to the doctor's." Marilla's lips twitched understandingly. She had expected Mrs. Rachel up; she had known that the sight of Matthew jaunting off so unaccountably would be too much for her neighbor's curiosity. "Oh, no, I'm quite well although I had a bad headache yesterday," she said. "Matthew went to Bright River. &br() &color(green){「only crab-apple preserves」松本訳注第1章(11) p. 452参照} &br() We're getting a little boy from an orphan asylum in Nova Scotia &br() &color(purple){「Nova Scotia」ノヴァスコシア（松本訳）。アルファベット表記を見ると、New Scotland のこととわかる（たぶんラテン語化している）} &br() and he's coming on the train tonight." If Marilla had said that Matthew had gone to Bright River to meet a kangaroo from Australia &br() &color(purple){「a kangaroo from Australia」オーストラリアからやって来たカンガルー。大英帝国の一員のオーストラリアには親しみがあるのでしょうね} &br() Mrs. Rachel could not have been more astonished. She was actually stricken dumb for five seconds. &br() &color(purple){「actually stricken dumb for five seconds」ここで、actually striken としているのは、口も聞けないほど唖然としてという例えとして dumb を使うことがあるのですが、ここでは、本当に５秒間も口を聞かなかった、と強調している。しかし……、この表現は面白いのでしょうか？？？} &br() It was unsupposable that Marilla was making fun of her, but Mrs. Rachel was almost forced to suppose it. "Are you in earnest, Marilla?" she demanded when voice returned to her. &br() &color(purple){「voice returned to her」本当に口が聞けなくなったので、声が出せるようになって、という話の流れ} "Yes, of course," said Marilla, as if getting boys from orphan asylums in Nova Scotia were part of the usual spring work on any well-regulated Avonlea farm instead of being an unheard of innovation. Mrs. Rachel felt that she had received a severe mental jolt. She thought in exclamation points. A boy! Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of all people adopting a boy! From an orphan asylum! Well, the world was certainly turning upside down! She would be surprised at nothing after this! Nothing! "What on earth put such a notion into your head?" she demanded disapprovingly. This had been done without her advice being asked, and must perforce be disapproved. "Well, we've been thinking about it for some time-- &br() &color(purple){「it」孤児をもらうこと。どれを指すのかは……よくわかりませんが「We are getting ... tonight」でしょうか} &br() all winter in fact," returned Marilla. "Mrs. Alexander Spencer was up here one day before Christmas &br() &color(purple){「Mrs. Alexander Spencer」夫人の名前（first name）を出さない表現。アレクザンダー・スペンサーの夫人。Mrs. Rachel とはいちばん離れた表現。あまり親しくないか、リンド夫人はよく知らないだろうことを考えてか} &br() and she said she was going to get a little girl from the asylum over in Hopeton in the spring. Her cousin lives there and Mrs. Spencer has visited here and knows all about it. &br() &color(purple){「Mrs. Spencer has visited here」スペンサー夫人がやってきて。ここは、Puffin Books版では「Mrs. Spencer has visited her」スペンサー夫人がその従姉妹のところを訪れて。となっていて全然意味が違っている。文脈からすれば、これは、her（従姉妹）を訪れることにならないと通じない。「従姉妹は lives で住んでいる（事実）、スペンサー夫人は has visited で訪れたことがある（経験）、だから、スペンサー夫人は知っている（knows：結果としての事実）となるのでしょうから} &br() So Matthew and I have talked it over off and on ever since. &br() &color(purple){「it」これも前と同じ、孤児をもらうこと} &br() We thought we'd get a boy. Matthew is getting up in years, you know--he's sixty-- and he isn't so spry as he once was. His heart troubles him a good deal. And you know how desperate hard it's got to be to get hired help. &br() &color(purple){「how desperate hard」hard は desperate を修飾する副詞} &br() There's never anybody to be had but those stupid, half-grown little French boys; &br() &color(green){「half-grown little French boys」松本訳注第1章(12) p. 452参照} &br() and as soon as you do get one broke into your ways &br() &color(purple){「broke into」break into ～の状態になる} &br() and taught something he's up and off to the lobster canneries or the States. &br() &color(green){「the lobster canneries」松本訳注第1章(13) p. 453参照} &br() At first Matthew suggested getting a Home boy. But I said `no' flat to that. `They may be all right--I'm not saying they're not--but no London street Arabs for me,' I said. &br() &color(purple){「street Arabs」浮浪児。Puffin Books版では、street arabs と a が小文字。たぶん、今なら、arab の単語は使わないでしょうね。PC の時代ですから（politically correct）} &br() `Give me a native born at least. There'll be a risk, no matter who we get. But I'll feel easier in my mind and sleep sounder at nights if we get a born Canadian.' So in the end we decided to ask Mrs. Spencer to pick us out one when she went over to get her little girl. We heard last week she was going, so we sent her word by Richard Spencer's folks at Carmody to bring us a smart, likely boy of about ten or eleven. We decided that would be the best age--old enough to be of some use in doing chores right off &br() &color(purple){「chore」（家・農場の）雑用} &br() and young enough to be trained up proper. We mean to give him a good home and schooling. &br() &color(purple){「a good home and schooling」これは、アンが来てからしばらくの間、マシューとマリラの間で話し合われたこともない（物語の上では記述がない）ので、アンが女の子であるからといって、ふたりの気持ちは大きな変化はなかったに違いありません。明確に話が出るのは、クイーン学院に行かせようかどうかというところくらいでしょうか（CHAPTER XXV with impression]]　Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves）} &br() We had a telegram from Mrs. Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station-- &br() &color(purple){「We had a telegram from Mrs. Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station--」電報の場合は駅から直接配ってくれたようですね。カナダの電信の歴史はよくわかりませんが、鉄道を敷くと、線路に沿って電信線を伸ばしたのかもしれませんが……。そこまで電化が進んでいないでしょうねぇ。とすると、これはそうじゃなくて、シャーロットタウンに電信を受けるところがあって（郵便局かもしれません）、そこから郵便とともに電報も列車で運ばれ、郵便局の人は電報を配ってくれたのでしょうか} &br() saying they were coming on the five-thirty train tonight. So Matthew went to Bright River to meet him. Mrs. Spencer will drop him off there. Of course she goes on to White Sands station herself." &br() &color(green){「White Sands」松本訳注第1章(14) p. 453参照} &br() Mrs. Rachel prided herself on always speaking her mind; she proceeded to speak it now, having adjusted her mental attitude to this amazing piece of news. "Well, Marilla, I'll just tell you plain that I think you're doing a mighty foolish thing--a risky thing, that's what. You don't know what you're getting. You're bringing a strange child into your house and home &br() &color(purple){「your house and home」建物／敷地としての house と 家族の中に入り込む家庭としての home の概念を区別。日本語では上手く書き分けるのは難しいところ} &br() and you don't know a single thing about him nor what his disposition is like nor what sort of parents he had nor how he's likely to turn out. Why, it was only last week I read in the paper how a man and his wife up west of the Island took a boy out of an orphan asylum and he set fire to the house at night--set it ON PURPOSE, Marilla--and nearly burnt them to a crisp in their beds. And I know another case where an adopted boy used to suck the eggs--they couldn't break him of it. If you had asked my advice in the matter--which you didn't do, Marilla--I'd have said for mercy's sake not to think of such a thing, that's what." This Job's comforting seemed neither to offend nor to alarm Marilla. &br() &color(green){「Job's comforting」松本訳注第1章(15) p. 453参照} &br() She knitted steadily on. &br() &color(purple){「She knitted steadily on.」気持ちをその人の行動で表現する。驚くなり動揺したなら編み物を止めるはず、という前提がある（しつこい？ だったらごめんななさい）} "I don't deny there's something in what you say, Rachel. I've had some qualms myself. But Matthew was terrible set on it. I could see that, so I gave in. It's so seldom Matthew sets his mind on anything that when he does I always feel it's my duty to give in. And as for the risk, there's risks in pretty near everything a body does in this world. There's risks in people's having children of their own if it comes to that--they don't always turn out well. And then Nova Scotia is right close to the Island. It isn't as if we were getting him from England or the States. He can't be much different from ourselves." "Well, I hope it will turn out all right," said Mrs. Rachel in a tone that plainly indicated her painful doubts. "Only don't say I didn't warn you if he burns Green Gables down or puts strychnine in the well--I heard of a case over in New Brunswick where an orphan asylum child did that and the whole family died in fearful agonies. Only, it was a girl in that instance." "Well, we're not getting a girl," said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy. "I'd never dream of taking a girl to bring up. &br() &color(purple){「I'd never dream of taking a girl to bring up.」女の子を育てようとはしていない、と強調。さらに次の文でも。アンが来たときの状況の伏線となる。アンが来ることは、読者にとってはほとんど自明なので（本の題名からしても、そして、きっと本の紹介でもアンが来ることは書かれるでしょうから）、来てどうなるかの伏線と考えなければなるまい、と思うのです} &br() I wonder at Mrs. Alexander Spencer for doing it. But there, SHE wouldn't shrink from adopting a whole orphan asylum if she took it into her head." Mrs. Rachel would have liked to stay until Matthew came home with his imported orphan. But reflecting that it would be a good two hours at least before his arrival she concluded to go up the road to Robert Bell's and tell the news. It would certainly make a sensation second to none, and Mrs. Rachel dearly loved to make a sensation. So she took herself away, somewhat to Marilla's relief, for the latter felt her doubts and fears reviving under the influence of Mrs. Rachel's pessimism. "Well, of all things that ever were or will be!" ejaculated Mrs. Rachel when she was safely out in the lane. "It does really seem as if I must be dreaming. Well, I'm sorry for that poor young one and no mistake. Matthew and Marilla don't know anything about children and they'll expect him to be wiser and steadier that his own grandfather, if so be's he ever had a grandfather, &br() &color(purple){「if so be's he ever had a grandfather」be's がよくわからない。be は be動詞で、仮定法で原型になっているのでしょうけれども、'sが何なのかが……} &br() &color(purple){そこで「"if so be's"」をキーワードにして、検索をしてみたら、面白いページ発見（[[ここ>http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=158733]]）。日本人がわからないと質問し、ネイティブ英語話者があーかも、こーかも、と書いています。日本人がわからなくても、ここは、おっけいなのです！議論を読み解くのは何か混乱してしまうのですが、be's は、be as の略と考えればよさそうです。この議論（というか質疑というか）から受け取れるメッセージは、１．古い英語なので現代英語と違うところがある、２．この英語表現はアナタは使ってはいけない、３．『赤毛のアン』は多少難しいところもあるけれも面白いからがんばって読んでね、です。これから英語で読もうとしている方にははげみになるでしょう！ジツはこの第１章の印象を書くのは全部読んだ後なので、ワタシへの励ましには時すでに遅し、でしたが（印象は第26章から書きはじめ、最後まで書いたので第１章に戻ってきたのです）} &br() which is doubtful. It seems uncanny to think of a child at Green Gables somehow; there's never been one there, for Matthew and Marilla were grown up when the new house was built-- &br() &color(purple){「the new house was built」今のグリーンゲイブルズができたときには、マシューもマリラも大きくなっていた。その前はどうだったのでしょう……。建て替え、かしら} &br() if they ever WERE children, which is hard to believe when one looks at them. I wouldn't be in that orphan's shoes for anything. My, but I pity him, that's what." So said Mrs. Rachel to the wild rose bushes out of the fulness of her heart; but if she could have seen the child who was waiting patiently at the Bright River station at that very moment her pity would have been still deeper and more profound.

Mrs. Lynde says there is no danger of my ever being one, but you can never tell. I feel just now that I may grow up to be sensible yet. But perhaps that is only because I'm tired. I simply couldn't sleep last night for ever so long. I just lay awake and imagined the concert over and over again. That's one splendid thing about such affairs--it's so lovely to look back to them."

I found it rather hard to imagine the proposal because I had no experience to go by.

Ruby told me she was hid in the hall pantry when Malcolm Andres proposed to her sister Susan.

But I didn't think that sort of a proposal was a very romantic one, so in the end I had to imagine it out as well as I could. I made it very flowery and poetical and Bertram went on his knees, although Ruby Gillis says it isn't done nowadays.

Bertram gave her a diamond ring and a ruby necklace &br() &color(purple){「ruby necklace」ちょっと前にルビー・ギリスが出てきたから、ルビーの首飾りなのかどうかは不明} &br() and told her they would go to Europe for a wedding tour, for he was immensely wealthy. But then, alas, shadows began to darken over their path. Cordelia was secretly in love with Bertram herself and when Geraldine told her about the engagement she was simply furious, especially when she saw the necklace and the diamond ring. All her affection for Geraldine turned to bitter hate and she vowed that she should never marry Bertram. But she pretended to be Geraldine's friend the same as ever. One evening they were standing on the bridge over a rushing turbulent stream and Cordelia, thinking they were alone, pushed Geraldine over the brink with a wild, mocking, `Ha, ha, ha.' But Bertram saw it all and he at once plunged into the current, exclaiming, `I will save thee, my peerless Geraldine.' &br() &color(purple){文語調で叫んでいる。松本訳も文語調} &br() But alas, he had forgotten he couldn't swim, and they were both drowned, clasped in each other's arms. Their bodies were washed ashore soon afterwards. They were buried in the one grave and their funeral was most imposing, Diana.

I thought that was a poetical retribution for her crime." &br() &color(purple){「retribution」は悪行に対する報い。または、天罰} &br() "How perfectly lovely!" sighed Diana, who belonged to Matthew's school of critics. &br() &color(purple){「school」は学派や派、と訳すことが多いのでしょうけども、日本語の学派から連想されるほど堅いコトバではないはず。とはいえ漢字の「派」を使わざるをえないところで、すでに堅い感じを漂わせてしまうのは仕方がないのかもしれません} &br() "I don't see how you can make up such thrilling things out of your own head, Anne. I wish my imagination was as good as yours." "It would be if you'd only cultivate it," said Anne cheeringly. "I've just thought of a plan, Diana. Let you and me have a story club all our own and write stories for practice. I'll help you along until you can do them by yourself. You ought to cultivate your imagination, you know. Miss Stacy says so. Only we must take the right way. I told her about the Haunted Wood, but she said we went the wrong way about it in that." This was how the story club came into existence. It was limited to Diana and Anne at first, but soon it was extended to include Jane Andrews and Ruby Gillis and one or two others who felt that their imaginations needed cultivating. No boys were allowed in it--although Ruby Gillis opined that their admission would make it more exciting--and each member had to produce one story a week. "It's extremely interesting," Anne told Marilla. "Each girl has to read her story out loud and then we talk it over. We are going to keep them all sacredly and have them to read to our descendants. We each write under a nom-de-plume. &br() &color(purple){「sacredly」「nom-de-plume」とか、big wordsで笑えるところ} &br Mine is Rosamond Montmorency. All the girls do pretty well. Ruby Gillis is rather sentimental. She puts too much lovemaking into her stories and you know too much is worse than too little. Jane never puts any because she says it makes her feel so silly when she had to read it out loud. Jane's stories are extremely sensible. Then Diana puts too many murders into hers. She says most of the time she doesn't know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them. I mostly always have to tell them what to write about, but that isn't hard for I've millions of ideas." "I think this story-writing business is the foolishest yet," scoffed Marilla. "You'll get a pack of nonsense into your heads and waste time that should be put on your lessons. Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse." &br() &color(green){「Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse.」松本訳注第26章(9) p. 509参照} &br() &color(purple){日本でも、漢詩が格上で、物語は格下。和歌は物語よりも上だけれども、漢詩より格下。平安時代から江戸時代にかけては} &br() "But we're so careful to put a moral into them all, Marilla," explained Anne. "I insist upon that. All the good people are rewarded and all the bad ones are suitably punished. &br() &color(purple){「reward」は善いことに対する報い。先にコーデリアの受けた報い「retribution」とは違う} &br() I'm sure that must have a wholesome effect.

Only they laughed in the wrong places. I like it better when people cry. Jane and Ruby almost always cry when I come to the pathetic parts. Diana wrote her Aunt Josephine about our club and her Aunt Josephine wrote back that we were to send her some of our stories. So we copied out four of our very best and sent them. Miss Josephine Barry wrote back that she had never read anything so amusing in her life. That kind of puzzled us because the stories were all very pathetic and almost everybody died. But I'm glad Miss Barry liked them. It shows our club is doing some good in the world. Mrs. Allan says that ought to be our object in everything. I do really try to make it my object but I forget so often when I'm having fun. I hope I shall be a little like Mrs. Allan when I grow up. Do you think there is any prospect of it, Marilla?" "I shouldn't say there was a great deal" was Marilla's encouraging answer. "I'm sure Mrs. Allan was never such a silly, forgetful little girl as you are." "No; but she wasn't always so good as she is now either," said Anne seriously. "She told me so herself--that is, she said she was a dreadful mischief when she was a girl and was always getting into scrapes. I felt so encouraged when I heard that. Is it very wicked of me, Marilla, to feel encouraged when I hear that other people have been bad and mischievous? Mrs. Lynde says it is. Mrs. Lynde says she always feels shocked when she hears of anyone ever having been naughty, no matter how small they were. Mrs. Lynde says she once heard a minister confess that when he was a boy he stole a strawberry tart out of his aunt's pantry &br() &color(green){「he stole a strawberry tart」松本訳注第26章(10) p. 510参照} &br() and she never had any respect for that minister again. Now, I wouldn't have felt that way. I'd have thought that it was real noble of him to confess it, and I'd have thought what an encouraging thing it would be for small boys nowadays who do naughty things and are sorry for them to know that perhaps they may grow up to be ministers in spite of it. That's how I'd feel, Marilla." "The way I feel at present, Anne," said Marilla, "is that it's high time you had those dishes washed. You've taken half an hour longer than you should with all your chattering. Learn to work first and talk afterwards."

Anne had gone over to Orchard Slope with Diana and came back to find Marilla in the kitchen, sitting by the table with her head leaning on her hand. Something in her dejected attitude struck a chill to Anne's heart. She had never seen Marilla sit limply inert like that. "Are you very tired, Marilla?" "Yes--no--I don't know," said Marilla wearily, looking up. "I suppose I am tired but I haven't thought about it. It's not that." "Did you see the oculist? What did he say?" asked Anne anxiously. "Yes, I saw him. He examined my eyes. He says that if I give up all reading and sewing entirely and any kind of work that strains the eyes, and if I'm careful not to cry, and if I wear the glasses he's given me he thinks my eyes may not get any worse and my headaches will be cured. But if I don't he says I'll certainly be stone-blind in six months. Blind! Anne, just think of it!" For a minute Anne, after her first quick exclamation of dismay, was silent. It seemed to her that she could NOT speak. Then she said bravely, but with a catch in her voice: "Marilla, DON'T think of it. You know he has given you hope. If you are careful you won't lose your sight altogether; and if his glasses cure your headaches it will be a great thing." "I don't call it much hope," said Marilla bitterly. "What am I to live for if I can't read or sew or do anything like that? &br() &color(purple){「read or sew or do anything like that」マリラは編み物をしている 場面か料理の場面の描写はあっても、本を読んだり、縫い物をしたりしている場面はないように思います。アンの服を作ったりしているので裁縫しているのはわかっていますが} &br() I might as well be blind--or dead.

One afternoon a few days later Marilla came slowly in from the front yard where she had been talking to a caller-- a man whom Anne knew by sight as Sadler from Carmody. Anne wondered what he could have been saying to bring that look to Marilla's face. "What did Mr. Sadler want, Marilla?" Marilla sat down by the window and looked at Anne.

And even in winter I can come home Fridays. We'll keep a horse for that. Oh, I have it all planned out, Marilla. And I'll read to you and keep you cheered up. You sha'n't be dull or lonesome. And we'll be real cozy and happy here together, you and I." Marilla had listened like a woman in a dream. "Oh, Anne, I could get on real well if you were here, I know.

I wonder how the road beyond it goes--what there is of green glory and soft, checkered light and shadows--what new landscapes--what new beauties--what curves and hills and valleys further on." "I don't feel as if I ought to let you give it up," said Marilla, referring to the scholarship.

"You blessed girl!" said Marilla, yielding. "I feel as if you'd given me new life. I guess I ought to stick out and make you go to college--but I know I can't, so I ain't going to try.

She came up one evening and found Anne and Marilla sitting at the front door in the warm, scented summer dusk. They liked to sit there when the twilight came down and the white moths flew about in the garden and the odor of mint filled the dewy air. Mrs. Rachel deposited her substantial person upon the stone bench by the door, behind which grew a row of tall pink and yellow hollyhocks, with a long breath of mingled weariness and relief.

He said he was going to teach at White Sands. Of course he knew how much you wanted to stay with Marilla, and I must say I think it was real kind and thoughtful in him, that's what. Real self-sacrificing, too, for he'll have his board to pay at White Sands, and everybody knows he's got to earn his own way through college. So the trustees decided to take you.

"You know we keep up the old custom. Excuse me while I run over and see what she wants." Anne ran down the clover slope like a deer, and disappeared in the firry shadows of the Haunted Wood. Mrs. Lynde looked after her indulgently. "There's a good deal of the child about her yet in some ways." "There's a good deal more of the woman about her in others," retorted Marilla, with a momentary return of her old crispness. But crispness was no longer Marilla's distinguishing characteristic. As Mrs. Lynde told her Thomas that night. "Marilla Cuthbert has got MELLOW. That's what." Anne went to the little Avonlea graveyard the next evening to put fresh flowers on Matthew's grave and water the Scotch rosebush. &br() &color(purple){「the Scotch rosebush」bushというからには、見ためは１本ではないと考えるほうがいいかと思うのですが、挿したのは、a slip （「I took a slip of the little white Scotch rosebush」[[CHAPTER XXXVII with impression]] The Reaper Whose Name Is Death）。ひと株植えてしまったのでしょうか。そのほうがちゃんと根づくと思いますし} &br() She lingered there until dusk, liking the peace and calm of the little place, with its poplars whose rustle was like low, friendly speech, and its whispering grasses growing at will among the graves.

"I met him on Barry's hill." "I didn't think you and Gilbert Blythe were such good friends that you'd stand for half an hour at the gate talking to him," said Marilla with a dry smile. "We haven't been--we've been good enemies. But we have decided that it will be much more sensible to be good friends in the future. Were we really there half an hour? It seemed just a few minutes. But, you see, we have five years' lost conversations to catch up with, Marilla." Anne sat long at her window that night companioned by a glad content.

Matthew, are you sick?" It was Marilla who spoke, alarm in every jerky word. Anne came through the hall, her hands full of white narcissus,--it was long before Anne could love the sight or odor of white narcissus again,--in time to hear her and to see Matthew standing in the porch doorway, a folded paper in his hand, and his face strangely drawn and gray. Anne dropped her flowers and sprang across the kitchen to him at the same moment as Marilla. &br() &color(purple){「sprang」} &br() They were both too late; before they could reach him Matthew had fallen across the threshold. "He's fainted," gasped Marilla. "Anne, run for Martin-- quick, quick! He's at the barn." Martin, the hired man, who had just driven home from the post office, started at once for the doctor, calling at Orchard Slope on his way to send Mr. and Mrs. Barry over. Mrs. Lynde, who was there on an errand, came too. They found Anne and Marilla distractedly trying to restore Matthew to consciousness. Mrs. Lynde pushed them gently aside, tried his pulse, and then laid her ear over his heart. She looked at their anxious faces sorrowfully and the tears came into her eyes. "Oh, Marilla," she said gravely. "I don't think--we can do anything for him." "Mrs. Lynde, you don't think--you can't think Matthew is-- is--" Anne could not say the dreadful word; she turned sick and pallid. "Child, &br() &color(purple){「Child」この話し掛け方は……、特別な意味はないんでしょうね、たぶん} &br() yes, I'm afraid of it. Look at his face. When you've seen that look as often as I have you'll know what it means."

The secret of the shock was discovered to be in the paper Matthew had held and which Martin had brought from the office that morning. It contained an account of the failure of the Abbey Bank. &br() &color(purple){「an account of the failure of the Abbey Bank」この account は、記事、の意味ととるべきでしょう。しかし、もちろん、銀行の口座も account なので、モードは掛け言葉のように、記事、口座のどちらの意味もある単語を使ったのに違いありません} &br() &color(green){「the failure of the Abbey Bank」松本訳注第37章(2) p. 531参照} &br() The news spread quickly through Avonlea, and all day friends and neighbors thronged Green Gables and came and went on errands of kindness for the dead and living. For the first time shy, quiet Matthew Cuthbert was a person of central importance; the white majesty of death had fallen on him and set him apart as one crowned. When the calm night came softly down over Green Gables the old house was hushed and tranquil. In the parlor lay Matthew Cuthbert in his coffin, his long gray hair framing his placid face on which there was a little kindly smile as if he but slept, dreaming pleasant dreams. There were flowers about him--sweet old-fashioned flowers which his mother had planted in the homestead garden in her bridal days &br() &color(purple){「in her bridal days」グリーンゲイブルズを建てる前から、同じ場所に植えてあったのでしょう。グリーンゲイブルズが建ったときには、マシューもマリラも子供ではなかったのですから。It seems uncanny to think of a child at Green Gables somehow; there's never been one there, for Matthew and Marilla were grown up when the new house was built （[[CHAPTER I with impression]]Mrs. Rachel Lynde is Surprised ）} &br() and for which Matthew had always had a secret, wordless love. Anne had gathered them and brought them to him, her anguished, tearless eyes burning in her white face. It was the last thing she could do for him. The Barrys and Mrs. Lynde stayed with them that night. Diana, going to the east gable, where Anne was standing at her window, said gently: "Anne dear, would you like to have me sleep with you tonight?" "Thank you, Diana." Anne looked earnestly into her friend's face. "I think you won't misunderstand me when I say I want to be alone. I'm not afraid. I haven't been alone one minute since it happened-- and I want to be. I want to be quite silent and quiet and try to realize it. I can't realize it. Half the time it seems to me that Matthew can't be dead; and the other half it seems as if he must have been dead for a long time and I've had this horrible dull ache ever since." Diana did not quite understand. Marilla's impassioned grief, breaking all the bounds of natural reserve and lifelong habit in its stormy rush, she could comprehend better than Anne's tearless agony. &br() &color(purple){倒置。ふつうの順にすれば、She could comprehend Marilla's impassioned grief, breaking all the bounds of natural reserve and lifelong habit in its stormy rush, better than Anne's tearless agony. 「Marilla's」は所有格。昼間、弔問客の来ているとき、マリラは大泣きをしていたが、アンは涙を流さなかった。そして、その上、ひとりにしてほしい、と言ったことも含め、ダイアナにはアンがよくは理解できなかった。この文は、そういうことでしょう} &br() But she went away kindly, leaving Anne alone to keep her first vigil with sorrow. Anne hoped that the tears would come in solitude. It seemed to her a terrible thing that she could not shed a tear for Matthew, whom she had loved so much and who had been so kind to her, Matthew who had walked with her last evening at sunset and was now lying in the dim room below with that awful peace on his brow. But no tears came at first, even when she knelt by her window in the darkness and prayed, looking up to the stars beyond the hills--no tears, only the same horrible dull ache of misery that kept on aching until she fell asleep, worn out with the day's pain and excitement. In the night she awakened, with the stillness and the darkness about her, and the recollection of the day came over her like a wave of sorrow. She could see Matthew's face smiling at her as he had smiled when they parted at the gate that last evening--she could hear his voice saying, "My girl--my girl that I'm proud of." Then the tears came and Anne wept her heart out. Marilla heard her and crept in to comfort her. "There--there--don't cry so, dearie. It can't bring him back. It--it--isn't right to cry so. I knew that today, but I couldn't help it then. He'd always been such a good, kind brother to me--but God knows best." "Oh, just let me cry, Marilla," sobbed Anne. "The tears don't hurt me like that ache did. Stay here for a little while with me and keep your arm round me--so. I couldn't have Diana stay, she's good and kind and sweet--but it's not her sorrow--she's outside of it and she couldn't come close enough to my heart to help me. It's our sorrow-- yours and mine. &br() &color(purple){「yours and mine」アンの home はふたりだけになってしまった} &br() Oh, Marilla, what will we do without him?" "We've got each other, Anne. &br() &color(purple){「We've got each other」いまひとつ、わかりづらい。have got は、have とほぼ同じだから……。日本語だと、「いる」と思うけれども、英語だと「持つ」という表現の違いか。なるほど。兄（弟）がいます、が、I have a brother になるように。「わたしたちにはお互いがいる」} &br() I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here--if you'd never come. &br() &color(purple){仮定法} &br() Oh, Anne, I know I've been kind of strict and harsh with you maybe-- but you mustn't think I didn't love you as well as Matthew did, for all that. I want to tell you now when I can. It's never been easy for me to say things out of my heart, but at times like this it's easier. I love you as dear as if you were my own flesh and blood and you've been my joy and comfort ever since you came to Green Gables." Two days afterwards they carried Matthew Cuthbert over his homestead threshold and away from the fields he had tilled and the orchards he had loved and the trees he had planted; and then Avonlea settled back to its usual placidity and even at Green Gables affairs slipped into their old groove and work was done and duties fulfilled with regularity as before, although always with the aching sense of "loss in all familiar things." &br() &color(green){「"loss in all familiar things"」松本訳注第37章(3) p. 532参照} &br() Anne, new to grief, thought it almost sad that it could be so--that they COULD go on in the old way without Matthew. She felt something like shame and remorse when she discovered &br() &color(purple){「that」アンが discover したことは文末までに４つ示されていて、それぞれ that節になっている。こういうのは話し言葉ではあまりないのではないいでしょうか} &br() that the sunrises behind the firs and the pale pink buds opening in the garden gave her the old inrush of gladness when she saw them--that Diana's visits were pleasant to her and that Diana's merry words and ways moved her to laughter and smiles--that, in brief, the beautiful world of blossom and love and friendship had lost none of its power to please her fancy and thrill her heart, that life still called to her with many insistent voices. "It seems like disloyalty to Matthew, somehow, to find pleasure in these things now that he has gone," she said wistfully to Mrs. Allan one evening when they were together in the manse garden. "I miss him so much--all the time-- and yet, Mrs. Allan, the world and life seem very beautiful and interesting to me for all. Today Diana said something funny and I found myself laughing. I thought when it happened I could never laugh again. And it somehow seems as if I oughtn't to." "When Matthew was here he liked to hear you laugh and he liked to know that you found pleasure in the pleasant things around you," said Mrs. Allan gently. "He is just away now; &br() &color(green){「He is just away now」松本訳注第37章(4) p. 532参照} &br() and he likes to know it just the same. I am sure we should not shut our hearts against the healing influences that nature offers us. But I can understand your feeling. I think we all experience the same thing. We resent the thought that anything can please us when someone we love is no longer here to share the pleasure with us, and we almost feel as if we were unfaithful to our sorrow when we find our interest in life returning to us." "I was down to the graveyard to plant a rosebush on Matthew's grave this afternoon," said Anne dreamily. "I took a slip of the little white Scotch rosebush his mother brought out from Scotland long ago; &br() &color(purple){「I took a slip of the little white Scotch rosebush」白い小さなスコッチローズから挿し木にする枝を取った。少し上のほうに even at Green Gables affairs slipped into their old groove グリーンゲイブルズでも、いろいろなことは元の習慣に戻った、とあるところにも、slip が使われているのですが、関連させていると思うのは考えすぎでしょうか} &br() &color(purple){「from Scotland」マシューのお母さんはスコットランドからの移民。結婚して、夫婦でプリンスエドワード島に来たんでしょうね、きっと。単身もありえなくはないでしょうけども。または、両親とともにカナダにやってきて、そのときにバラも持ってきていて、結婚後、植えたか} &br() Matthew always liked those roses the best--they were so small and sweet on their thorny stems. It made me feel glad that I could plant it by his grave--as if I were doing something that must please him in taking it there to be near him. I hope he has roses like them in heaven. Perhaps the souls of all those little white roses that he has loved so many summers were all there to meet him. I must go home now. Marilla is all alone and she gets lonely at twilight." "She will be lonelier still, I fear, when you go away again to college," said Mrs. Allan. &br() &color(purple){このアラン夫人の言葉は、転換点のひとつに相当} &br() Anne did not reply; she said good night and went slowly back to green Gables. &br() &color(purple){「slowly」すぐ前では、もうおいとましなくては I must go home now. とアラン夫人にアンは言っているにも拘らず、歩みは遅い。アラン夫人の言葉を受けて、歩みが遅くなったわけですが、このアラン夫人の言葉が転換点であったのかは、すぐ後の文（グリーンゲイブルズの描写やマリラとの会話）からはわからないような構成になっている。しかも、その転換がどうだったのか、つまり、アンがどう考え、どう行動し、そして、周りの人がどんな風に協力、対応したかは、次章で明らかになる。転換点をあまり転換点らしく表現していないのは、たぶん、小説の技法としてはいいことなんでしょう。「Anne did not reply」があるので、転換点を強調してはいますが} &br() Marilla was sitting on the front door-steps and Anne sat down beside her. The door was open behind them, held back by a big pink conch shell with hints of sea sunsets in its smooth inner convolutions. Anne gathered some sprays of pale-yellow honeysuckle and put them in her hair. She liked the delicious hint of fragrance, as some aerial benediction, above her every time she moved. "Doctor Spencer was here while you were away," Marilla said. "He says that the specialist will be in town tomorrow and he insists that I must go in and have my eyes examined. I suppose I'd better go and have it over.

Marilla, I've almost decided to give up trying to like Josie Pye. I've made what I would once have called a heroic effort to like her, but Josie Pye won't BE liked." "Josie is a Pye," said Marilla sharply, "so she can't help being disagreeable. I suppose people of that kind serve some useful purpose in society, but I must say I don't know what it is any more than I know the use of thistles. &br() &color(purple){「thistle」アザミ：スコットランドの国花。Pye 家も（Cuthbert 家や モンゴメリ家のように）スコットランドからの移民なのかしら} &br() Is Josie going to teach?"

Anne looked up with swift interest. "Oh, Marilla--and what happened?--why didn't you--" "We had a quarrel. I wouldn't forgive him when he asked me to. I meant to, after awhile--but I was sulky and angry and I wanted to punish him first.

I've always kind of wished I'd forgiven him when I had the chance." "So you've had a bit of romance in your life, too," said Anne softly. "Yes, I suppose you might call it that. You wouldn't think so to look at me, would you? But you never can tell about people from their outsides. Everybody has forgot about me and John. I'd forgotten myself. But it all came back to me when I saw Gilbert last Sunday."

Matthew, are you sick?" It was Marilla who spoke, alarm in every jerky word. Anne came through the hall, her hands full of white narcissus,--it was long before Anne could love the sight or odor of white narcissus again,--in time to hear her and to see Matthew standing in the porch doorway, a folded paper in his hand, and his face strangely drawn and gray. Anne dropped her flowers and sprang across the kitchen to him at the same moment as Marilla. They were both too late; before they could reach him Matthew had fallen across the threshold. "He's fainted," gasped Marilla. "Anne, run for Martin-- quick, quick! He's at the barn." Martin, the hired man, who had just driven home from the post office, started at once for the doctor, calling at Orchard Slope on his way to send Mr. and Mrs. Barry over. Mrs. Lynde, who was there on an errand, came too. They found Anne and Marilla distractedly trying to restore Matthew to consciousness. Mrs. Lynde pushed them gently aside, tried his pulse, and then laid her ear over his heart. She looked at their anxious faces sorrowfully and the tears came into her eyes. "Oh, Marilla," she said gravely. "I don't think--we can do anything for him." "Mrs. Lynde, you don't think--you can't think Matthew is-- is--" Anne could not say the dreadful word; she turned sick and pallid. "Child, yes, I'm afraid of it. Look at his face. When you've seen that look as often as I have you'll know what it means." Anne looked at the still face and there beheld the seal of the Great Presence. When the doctor came he said that death had been instantaneous and probably painless, caused in all likelihood by some sudden shock. The secret of the shock was discovered to be in the paper Matthew had held and which Martin had brought from the office that morning. It contained an account of the failure of the Abbey Bank. The news spread quickly through Avonlea, and all day friends and neighbors thronged Green Gables and came and went on errands of kindness for the dead and living. For the first time shy, quiet Matthew Cuthbert was a person of central importance; the white majesty of death had fallen on him and set him apart as one crowned. When the calm night came softly down over Green Gables the old house was hushed and tranquil. In the parlor lay Matthew Cuthbert in his coffin, his long gray hair framing his placid face on which there was a little kindly smile as if he but slept, dreaming pleasant dreams. There were flowers about him--sweet old-fashioned flowers which his mother had planted in the homestead garden in her bridal days and for which Matthew had always had a secret, wordless love. Anne had gathered them and brought them to him, her anguished, tearless eyes burning in her white face. It was the last thing she could do for him. The Barrys and Mrs. Lynde stayed with them that night. Diana, going to the east gable, where Anne was standing at her window, said gently: "Anne dear, would you like to have me sleep with you tonight?" "Thank you, Diana." Anne looked earnestly into her friend's face. "I think you won't misunderstand me when I say I want to be alone. I'm not afraid. I haven't been alone one minute since it happened-- and I want to be. I want to be quite silent and quiet and try to realize it. I can't realize it. Half the time it seems to me that Matthew can't be dead; and the other half it seems as if he must have been dead for a long time and I've had this horrible dull ache ever since." Diana did not quite understand. Marilla's impassioned grief, breaking all the bounds of natural reserve and lifelong habit in its stormy rush, she could comprehend better than Anne's tearless agony. But she went away kindly, leaving Anne alone to keep her first vigil with sorrow. Anne hoped that the tears would come in solitude. It seemed to her a terrible thing that she could not shed a tear for Matthew, whom she had loved so much and who had been so kind to her, Matthew who had walked with her last evening at sunset and was now lying in the dim room below with that awful peace on his brow. But no tears came at first, even when she knelt by her window in the darkness and prayed, looking up to the stars beyond the hills--no tears, only the same horrible dull ache of misery that kept on aching until she fell asleep, worn out with the day's pain and excitement. In the night she awakened, with the stillness and the darkness about her, and the recollection of the day came over her like a wave of sorrow. She could see Matthew's face smiling at her as he had smiled when they parted at the gate that last evening--she could hear his voice saying, "My girl--my girl that I'm proud of." Then the tears came and Anne wept her heart out. Marilla heard her and crept in to comfort her. "There--there--don't cry so, dearie. It can't bring him back. It--it--isn't right to cry so. I knew that today, but I couldn't help it then. He'd always been such a good, kind brother to me--but God knows best." "Oh, just let me cry, Marilla," sobbed Anne. "The tears don't hurt me like that ache did. Stay here for a little while with me and keep your arm round me--so. I couldn't have Diana stay, she's good and kind and sweet--but it's not her sorrow--she's outside of it and she couldn't come close enough to my heart to help me. It's our sorrow-- yours and mine. Oh, Marilla, what will we do without him?" "We've got each other, Anne. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here--if you'd never come. Oh, Anne, I know I've been kind of strict and harsh with you maybe-- but you mustn't think I didn't love you as well as Matthew did, for all that. I want to tell you now when I can. It's never been easy for me to say things out of my heart, but at times like this it's easier. I love you as dear as if you were my own flesh and blood and you've been my joy and comfort ever since you came to Green Gables." Two days afterwards they carried Matthew Cuthbert over his homestead threshold and away from the fields he had tilled and the orchards he had loved and the trees he had planted; and then Avonlea settled back to its usual placidity and even at Green Gables affairs slipped into their old groove and work was done and duties fulfilled with regularity as before, although always with the aching sense of "loss in all familiar things." Anne, new to grief, thought it almost sad that it could be so--that they COULD go on in the old way without Matthew. She felt something like shame and remorse when she discovered that the sunrises behind the firs and the pale pink buds opening in the garden gave her the old inrush of gladness when she saw them--that Diana's visits were pleasant to her and that Diana's merry words and ways moved her to laughter and smiles--that, in brief, the beautiful world of blossom and love and friendship had lost none of its power to please her fancy and thrill her heart, that life still called to her with many insistent voices. "It seems like disloyalty to Matthew, somehow, to find pleasure in these things now that he has gone," she said wistfully to Mrs. Allan one evening when they were together in the manse garden. "I miss him so much--all the time-- and yet, Mrs. Allan, the world and life seem very beautiful and interesting to me for all. Today Diana said something funny and I found myself laughing. I thought when it happened I could never laugh again. And it somehow seems as if I oughtn't to." "When Matthew was here he liked to hear you laugh and he liked to know that you found pleasure in the pleasant things around you," said Mrs. Allan gently. "He is just away now; and he likes to know it just the same. I am sure we should not shut our hearts against the healing influences that nature offers us. But I can understand your feeling. I think we all experience the same thing. We resent the thought that anything can please us when someone we love is no longer here to share the pleasure with us, and we almost feel as if we were unfaithful to our sorrow when we find our interest in life returning to us." "I was down to the graveyard to plant a rosebush on Matthew's grave this afternoon," said Anne dreamily. "I took a slip of the little white Scotch rosebush his mother brought out from Scotland long ago; Matthew always liked those roses the best--they were so small and sweet on their thorny stems. It made me feel glad that I could plant it by his grave--as if I were doing something that must please him in taking it there to be near him. I hope he has roses like them in heaven. Perhaps the souls of all those little white roses that he has loved so many summers were all there to meet him. I must go home now. Marilla is all alone and she gets lonely at twilight." "She will be lonelier still, I fear, when you go away again to college," said Mrs. Allan. Anne did not reply; she said good night and went slowly back to green Gables. Marilla was sitting on the front door-steps and Anne sat down beside her. The door was open behind them, held back by a big pink conch shell with hints of sea sunsets in its smooth inner convolutions. Anne gathered some sprays of pale-yellow honeysuckle and put them in her hair. She liked the delicious hint of fragrance, as some aerial benediction, above her every time she moved. "Doctor Spencer was here while you were away," Marilla said. "He says that the specialist will be in town tomorrow and he insists that I must go in and have my eyes examined. I suppose I'd better go and have it over. I'll be more than thankful if the man can give me the right kind of glasses to suit my eyes. You won't mind staying here alone while I'm away, will you? Martin will have to drive me in and there's ironing and baking to do." "I shall be all right. Diana will come over for company for me. I shall attend to the ironing and baking beautifully-- you needn't fear that I'll starch the handkerchiefs or flavor the cake with liniment." Marilla laughed. "What a girl you were for making mistakes in them days, Anne. You were always getting into scrapes. I did use to think you were possessed. Do you mind the time you dyed your hair?" "Yes, indeed. I shall never forget it," smiled Anne, touching the heavy braid of hair that was wound about her shapely head. "I laugh a little now sometimes when I think what a worry my hair used to be to me--but I don't laugh MUCH, because it was a very real trouble then. I did suffer terribly over my hair and my freckles. My freckles are really gone; and people are nice enough to tell me my hair is auburn now--all but Josie Pye. She informed me yesterday that she really thought it was redder than ever, or at least my black dress made it look redder, and she asked me if people who had red hair ever got used to having it. Marilla, I've almost decided to give up trying to like Josie Pye. I've made what I would once have called a heroic effort to like her, but Josie Pye won't BE liked." "Josie is a Pye," said Marilla sharply, "so she can't help being disagreeable. I suppose people of that kind serve some useful purpose in society, but I must say I don't know what it is any more than I know the use of thistles. Is Josie going to teach?" "No, she is going back to Queen's next year. So are Moody Spurgeon and Charlie Sloane. Jane and Ruby are going to teach and they have both got schools--Jane at Newbridge and Ruby at some place up west." "Gilbert Blythe is going to teach too, isn't he?" "Yes"--briefly. "What a nice-looking fellow he is," said Marilla absently. "I saw him in church last Sunday and he seemed so tall and manly. He looks a lot like his father did at the same age. John Blythe was a nice boy. We used to be real good friends, he and I. People called him my beau." Anne looked up with swift interest. "Oh, Marilla--and what happened?--why didn't you--" "We had a quarrel. I wouldn't forgive him when he asked me to.

Jane was smiling and happy; examinations were over and she was comfortably sure she had made a pass at least; further considerations troubled Jane not at all; she had no soaring ambitions and consequently was not affected with the unrest attendant thereon. For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self-denial, anxiety and discouragement. Anne was pale and quiet; in ten more minutes she would know who had won the medal and who the Avery. Beyond those ten minutes there did not seem, just then, to be anything worth being called Time. "Of course you'll win one of them anyhow," said Jane, who couldn't understand how the faculty could be so unfair as to order it otherwise. &br() &color(purple){「who couldn't understand how the faculty could be so unfair as to order it otherwise」（たぶん、とても英語的な表現だから、なのだと思いますが）とても難しい。仮定法過去として解釈するほうがいいと思います。なので……、「ほかの順位づけをするなどというフェアではないことを、教授陣ができるなんて、ジェーンには理解できなかった（ので、そのようなことはないと信じていた）」直訳するとこんな感じでしょうか} &br() "I have not hope of the Avery," said Anne. "Everybody says Emily Clay will win it. And I'm not going to march up to that bulletin board and look at it before everybody. I haven't the moral courage.

Promise me this, Jane." Jane promised solemnly; but, as it happened, there was no necessity for such a promise. When they went up the entrance steps of Queen's they found the hall full of boys who were carrying Gilbert Blythe around on their shoulders and yelling at the tops of their voices, "Hurrah for Blythe, Medalist!" For a moment Anne felt one sickening pang of defeat and disappointment. So she had failed and Gilbert had won! Well, Matthew would be sorry--he had been so sure she would win. And then! Somebody called out: "Three cheers for Miss Shirley, winner of the Avery!" &br() &color(purple){「Three cheers」何と３回言うのでしょう？ このあたり、経験がないとわからない} &br() "Oh, Anne," gasped Jane, as they fled to the girls' dressing room amid hearty cheers. "Oh, Anne I'm so proud! Isn't it splendid?" &br() &color(purple){「splendid」この章では、連発されるコトバ} &br() And then the girls were around them and Anne was the center of a laughing, congratulating group. Her shoulders were thumped and her hands shaken vigorously. She was pushed and pulled and hugged and among it all she managed to whisper to Jane: "Oh, won't Matthew and Marilla be pleased!

"Reckon you're glad we kept her, Marilla?" whispered Matthew, speaking for the first time since he had entered the hall, when Anne had finished her essay. "It's not the first time I've been glad," retorted Marilla. "You do like to rub things in, Matthew Cuthbert." Miss Barry, who was sitting behind them, leaned forward and poked Marilla in the back with her parasol. "Aren't you proud of that Anne-girl? I am," she said.

I mean to spend at least two hours tomorrow lying out in the orchard grass, thinking of absolutely nothing." "You've done splendidly, Anne. I suppose you won't be teaching now that you've won the Avery?" "No. I'm going to Redmond in September. Doesn't it seem wonderful? I'll have a brand new stock of ambition laid in by that time after three glorious, golden months of vacation. Jane and Ruby are going to teach. Isn't it splendid to think we all got through even to Moody Spurgeon and Josie Pye?" "The Newbridge trustees have offered Jane their school already," said Diana. "Gilbert Blythe is going to teach, too. He has to. His father can't afford to send him to college next year, &br() &color(purple){「His father can't afford to send him to college next year」前章（[[CHAPTER XXXV with impression]] The Winter at Queen's）のジョージーの「My father can afford to send me」が思い起こされる} &br() after all, so he means to earn his own way through.

Surely he was much grayer than he had been a year before. "Marilla," she said hesitatingly when he had gone out, "is Matthew quite well?" "No, he isn't," said Marilla in a troubled tone. "He's had some real bad spells with his heart this spring and he won't spare himself a mite. I've been real worried about him, but he's some better this while back and we've got a good hired man, so I'm hoping he'll kind of rest and pick up. Maybe he will now you're home. You always cheer him up." Anne leaned across the table and took Marilla's face in her hands. "You are not looking as well yourself as I'd like to see you, Marilla. You look tired. I'm afraid you've been working too hard. You must take a rest, now that I'm home. I'm just going to take this one day off to visit all the dear old spots and hunt up my old dreams, and then it will be your turn to be lazy while I do the work."

Well, Anne, you've done real well at Queen's I must say. To take First Class License in one year and win the Avery scholarship--well, well, Mrs. Lynde says pride goes before a fall and she doesn't believe in the higher education of women at all; she says it unfits them for woman's true sphere. I don't believe a word of it. Speaking of Rachel reminds me--did you hear anything about the Abbey Bank lately, Anne?" "I heard it was shaky," answered Anne. "Why?" "That is what Rachel said.

She never forgot that day; it was so bright and golden and fair, so free from shadow and so lavish of blossom. Anne spent some of its rich hours in the orchard; she went to the Dryad's Bubble and Willowmere and Violet Vale; she called at the manse and had a satisfying talk with Mrs. Allan; and finally in the evening she went with Matthew for the cows, through Lovers' Lane to the back pasture. The woods were all gloried through with sunset and the warm splendor of it streamed down through the hill gaps in the west.
