As he was passing by the house where Jeff \color{#dc3545}{Thatcher} 盖茅草屋顶的人 lived, he saw a new girl in the garden—a lovely little blue–eyed creature with yellow hair \color{#e4a32b}{plaited} 编制,将 into two long–tails, white summer \color{green}{frock} 女装;连衣裙;僧袍;罩袍 and \color{green}{embroidered} 绣花的;刺绣的 pantalettes.

He worshipped this new angel with \color{#e4a32b}{furtive} 鬼鬼祟祟的,秘密的 eye, till he saw that she had discovered him; then he pretended he did not know she was present, and began to "show off" in all sorts of absurd \color{#e4a32b}{boyish} 男孩的 ways, in order to win her \color{green}{admiration} 钦佩 . He kept up this \color{green}{grotesque} 怪诞的,奇怪的,可笑的 \color{#dc3545}{foolishness} 愚蠢 for some time; but by–and–by, while he was in the midst of some dangerous \color{green}{gymnastic} 体操的,体育的 performances, he glanced aside and saw that the little girl was \color{#e4a32b}{wending} 前进 her way toward the house. Tom came up to the fence and leaned on it, grieving, and hoping she would \color{#e4a32b}{tarry} 等候;逗留;耽搁 yet \color{#e4a32b}{awhile} 一会儿 longer. She halted a moment on the steps and then moved toward the door. Tom heaved a great sigh as she put her foot on the \color{green}{threshold} 入口 . But his face lit up, right away, for she tossed a \color{#dc3545}{pansy} [园艺] 三色堇 over the fence a moment before she disappeared.
