アンの娘ダイは新しく小学校に来た女の子に夢中になります。
The spotlight in the little drama of life at Ingleside shifted from time to time, now falling on this one, now on that. They had got through the winter without anything very much out of the way happening to anyone and in June it was Di's turn to have an adventure.
A new girl had begun coming to school . . . a girl who said, when the teacher asked her her name, "I am Jenny Penny," as one might say, "I am Queen Elizabeth," or "I am Helen of Troy."

At least, that was how Diana Blythe felt about it, even if she couldn't have put it into those exact words.
