Anne of Green Gables. Аня из Зелёных Крыш. Адаптированная книга на английском языке.

Rachel, stood before her, face red with anger. “I hate you! I hate you!” cried Anne “How dare you[66 - как вы посмели?] call me skinny and ugly? You are a very rude[67 - [ru?d] – грубая] and impolite[68 - [??mp??la?t] – невежливая] woman!”

Marilla tried to stop Anne, but she continued.

“How dare you say such rude things? Would you like it if I called you fat?”

“What a temper[69 - [?temp?] – нрав, характер]!” said Mrs. Rachel surprised.

Marilla told Anne to come to her room. Anne burst into tears, rushed upstairs and shut the door.

“Well, I advise[70 - [?d?va?z] – советовать] you to talk to that girl. And when I say ‘talk’, I mean a birch twig[71 - [b??t? tw??] – березовый прут] – a very effective language for a child like that,” said Mrs. Rachel and went away.

Mrs. Cuthbert came upstairs and found Anne in her bed crying.

“Anne, I think you shouldn’t have behaved[72 - [b??he?v] – вести себя] like that,” said Marilla.

“She shouldn’t have called me red haired and ugly.

“You always say bad things about your red hair yourself.”

“There’s a difference when I say it and when other people say it about me,” said Anne.

“I don’t think it was the right thing for Mrs. Rachel to say for you, but now she has a wonderful story about you to tell. You must go to her and say that you are sorry.”

“No. I will never do that.”

“Yes, you will. You will stay in this room until you apologise[73 - [??p?l?d?a?z] – извиняться] for your behaviour to Mrs.

“I will stay here forever then. How can I tell I’m sorry for my words, if I’m not sorry at all!”

“You said you would be a nice girl, if we let you stay at Avonlea,” said Marilla and left the room. She was worried about this situation, but still, when she remembered the face of Mrs. Rachel she couldn’t stop smiling.

Marilla said nothing to Matthew, but when the next morning Anne wasn’t at the table she had to explain why.
