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.
Ekkoriban Mary Ann Wilson volt a legjobb pajtásom. Szívesen voltam együtt ezzel az éles szemű, talpraesett leánnyal, egyrészt azért, mert ötletes megjegyzései mulattattak, másrészt, mert nem sokat kellett teketóriázni vele.
