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 ai cespugli di rose selvatiche per la pienezza del suo cuore; ma se avesse potuto vedere la bambina che aspettava pazientemente alla stazione di Bright River in quel preciso momento, la sua pietà sarebbe stata ancora più profonda e intensa.
