"Yes, of course," said Marilla, as if getting boys from orphan asylums inNova Scotia were part of the usual spring work on any well-regulated Avonleafarm instead of being an unheard of innovation.

Mrs. Rachel felt that she had received a severe mental jolt. She thought inexclamation points. A boy! Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of all peopleadopting a boy! From an orphan asylum! Well, the world was certainly turningupside down! She would be surprised at nothing after this! Nothing!

"What on earth put such a notion into your head?" she demandeddisapprovingly.

This had been done without her advice being asked, and must perforce bedisapproved.

"Well, we've been thinking about it for some time--all winter in fact,"returned Marilla. "Mrs. Alexander Spencer was up here one day beforeChristmas and she said she was going to get a little girl from the asylum over inHopeton in the spring. Her cousin lives there and Mrs. Spencer has visited hereand knows all about it. So Matthew and I have talked it over off and on eversince. We thought we'd get a boy. Matthew is getting up in years, youknow--he's sixty--and he isn't so spry as he once was. His heart troubles hima good deal. And you know how desperate hard it's got to be to get hired help.There's never anybody to be had but those stupid, half-grown little French boys;and as soon as you do get one broke into your ways and taught something he'sup and off to the lobster canneries or the States. At first Matthew suggestedgetting a Home boy. But I said 'no' fiat to that. 'They may be all right--I'mnot saying they're not--but no London street Arabs for me,' I said. 'Give me anative born at least. There'U be a risk, no matter who we get. But I'll feel easierin my mind and sleep sounder at nights if we get a born Canadian.' So in theend we decided to ask Mrs. Spencer to pick us out one when she went over toget her little girl. We heard last week she was going, so we sent her word byRichard Spencer's folks at Carmody to bring us a smart, likely boy of about tenor eleven. We decided that would be the best age---old enough to be of someuse in doing chores right off and young enough to be trained up proper. Wemean to give him a good home and schooling. We had a telegram from Mrs.Alexander Spencer today--the mail-man brought it from the station--sayingthey were coming on the five-thirty train tonight. So Matthew went to BrightRiver to meet him. Mrs. Spencer will drop him off there. Of course she goes onto White Sands station herself."

Mrs. Rachel prided herself on always speaking her mind; she proceeded tospeak it now, having adjusted her mental attitude to this amazing piece ofnews.

"Well, Marilla, I'll just tell you plain that I think you're doing a mightyfoolish 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 and you don't knowa single thing about him nor what his disposition is like nor what sort of parentshe had nor how he's likely to turn out. Why, it was only last week I read in thepaper how a man and his wife up west of the Island took a boy out of an orphanasylum and he set fire to the house at night--set it on purpose, Marilla--andnearly burnt them to a crisp in their beds. And ! know another case where anadopted boy used to suck the eggs--they couldn't break him of it. If you hadasked my advice in the matter--which you didn't do, Marilla--I'd have saidfor 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. Sheknitted steadily on.

"I don't deny there's something in what you say, Rachel. I've had somequalms 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 alwaysfeel it's my duty to give in. And as for the risk, there's risks in pretty neareverything a body does in this world. There's risks in people's having childrenof their own if it comes to that--they don't always turn out well. And thenNova Scotia is right close to the Island. It isn't as if we were getting him fromEngland 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 thatplainly indicated her painful doubts. "Only don't say I didn't warn you if heburns Green Gables down or puts strychnine in the well--I heard of a case overin New Brunswick where an orphan asylum child did that and the whole familydied 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 apurely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy.'Td never dream of taking a girl to bring up. I wonder at Mrs. AlexanderSpencer for doing it. But there, she wouldn't shrink from adopting a wholeorphan asylum if she took it into her head."

Mrs. Rachel would have liked to stay until Matthew came home with hisimported orphan. But reflecting that it would be a good two hours at leastbefore his arrival she concluded to go up the road to Robert Bell's and tell thenews. It would certainly make a sensation second to none, and Mrs. Racheldearly loved to make a sensation. So she took herself away, somewhat toMarilla's relief, for the latter felt her doubts and fears reviving under theinfluence of Mrs. Rachel's pessimism.

"Well, of all things that ever were or will be!" ejaculated Mrs. Rachelwhen she was safely out in the lane. "It does really seem as if I must bedreaming. Well, I'm sorry for that poor young one and no mistake. Matthewand Marilla don't know anything about children and they'll expect him to bewiser and steadier that his own grandfather, if so be's he ever had a grandfather,which is doubtful. It seems uncanny to think of a child at Green Gablessomehow; there's never been one there, for Matthew and Marilla were grownup when the new house was built--if they ever were children, which is hard tobelieve when one looks at them. I wouldn't be in that orphan's shoes foranything. 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 BrightRiver station at that very moment her pity would have been still deeper andmore profound.P7-P9

露西·莫德·蒙哥马利(Lucy Maud Montgomery，1874～1942)，20世纪加拿大最伟大作家之一。

1874年10月30日，露西出生在加拿大爱德华王子岛的克里夫顿。由于母亲早逝，露西的童年和少年时代几乎都是在外祖母家中度过的。露西自幼喜爱写作，她在中学时代就显示出了良好的文学天赋。1908年，露西出版了她的第一部小说《绿山墙的安妮》，该书一出版便成为当时最畅销的英语小说，受到全世界青少年读者的热烈欢迎。《绿山墙的安妮》俘虏了众多少男少女的心，干百万崇拜者的信如雪片般飞到爱德华王子岛露西的家里，希望知道“小安妮后来怎么样了?”。在读者的鼓励和支持下，露西将安妮的故事写成了系列小说，之后陆续出版了《少女安妮》、《小岛上的安妮》、《彩虹幽谷》、《梦中小屋的安妮》、《安妮的友情》、《壁炉山庄的丽拉》等小说，分别描述了不同时期安妮的生活经历和情感历程。马克·吐温称：“安妮是继不朽的爱丽斯之后最令人感动和喜爱的儿童形象”，安妮的故事已成为“世界上最甜蜜的少女成长故事”。

1942年4月24日，露西因冠状动脉血栓症在多伦多去世，丧礼于长老会的教堂举行，在绿色屋顶之家守夜之后，露西被葬于卡文迪什社区公墓。露西是一位多产作家，一生共创作了二十多部长篇小说，以及许多短篇小说、诗歌、自传。然而使她名扬世界的还是以安妮为主人公的系列小说，该安妮系列小说问世近百年来，至今被译成世界上几十种文字，风靡全世界；同时，它还多次被改编成电影、电视剧、动画片，影响和感染了一代又一代世界各地的读者。

在中国，安妮同样是读者最熟悉、最喜爱的少女形象。时至今日，在中国这部被世界公认的文学名著仍然散发着永恒的魅力。基于以上原因，我们决定编译安妮系列丛书，包括：《绿山墙的安妮》、《少女安妮》、《小岛上的安妮》、《彩虹幽谷》、《梦中小屋的安妮》、《安妮的友情》、《壁炉山庄的丽拉》，并采用中文导读英文版的形式出版。在中文导读中，我们尽力使其贴近原作的精髓，也尽可能保留原作故事主线。我们希望能够编出为当代中国读者所喜爱的经典读本。读者在阅读英文故事之前，可以先阅读中文导读内容，这样有利于了解故事背景，从而加快阅读速度。同时，为了读者更好地理解故事内容，书中加入了大量的插图。我们相信，该经典著作的引进对加强当代中国读者，特别是青少年读者的人文修养是非常有帮助的。
