赤毛のアン4章22

Isn't it a splendid thing that there are mornings?
But I feel very sad. I've just been imagining that
it was really me you wanted after all and that
I was to stay here for ever and ever.

after all:結局のところ
was to = be to(運命;予定)
for ever and ever:行く末永く

朝があるって素晴らしいことですよね。そうは言っても悲
しいわ。ここに置いておきたいのは、本当は私のことだっ
て、私がこれからずっとここにいるのだって、想像したいの。
