The stone was just broad enough to accommodate, comfortably, another girl and me, at that time my chosen comrade--one Mary Ann Wilson; a shrewd, observant personage, whose society I took pleasure in, partly because she was witty and original, and partly because she had a manner which set me at my ease.
Su quella pietra si poteva sedere in due, e io vi andavo sempre con Anna Wilson, che in quel tempo preferivo a tutte le altre compagne. Ella era un'acuta osservatrice, e non mi piaceva soltanto per la sua originalità, ma anche per le sue maniere.
