Anne of Green Gables — Page 13
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.
Rachel zu den wilden Rosensträuchern aus der Fülle ihres Herzens; aber wenn sie das Kind hätte sehen können, das in jenem Augenblick geduldig am Bahnhof von Bright River wartete, wäre ihr Mitleid noch tiefer und inniger gewesen.
