アンの青春7章21

"I don't reckon there'd be much amusement in it . . . more worry and bother than anything else, I should say. It wouldn't be so risky if they were even as old as you were when I took you. I wouldn't mind Dora so much . . . she seems good and quiet. But that Davy is a limb."

reckon:考える,思う
amusement:楽しみ
bother:悩みの種
risky:危険な
limb:わんぱく小僧(話)

「楽しいことなどあるとは思えないね……なんといっても心配だし悩みの種になるだろうよ。あの子たちがあんたを引き取ったときぐらいの年ならそれほど厄介でもないんだろうが。ドラはそれほど心配じゃないよ……あの子はいい子だしおとなしそう。でもデビーはわんぱくだわ」
