PEPPERMINT EMILY

「我會分辨出一種與眾不同的腳步聲。別的腳步聲會叫我躲進洞裡去，而唯獨你的腳步聲會像音樂一樣，喚我出洞來。」


「最好在同一時間來。」狐狸說。

"If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock ,I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you..... . One must observe the proper rite..... ."

「比如說你在下午四點鐘來，我從三點鐘起就開始感到幸福了。愈是接近四點鐘，我就愈是感到幸福。四點鐘一到，我就會坐立不住，揣揣不安起來；我將發現幸福是有代價的！但是，如果你隨便什麼時候來，我就不知道該在哪時候做好心理準備了……這需要養成習慣。」
