He wondered about this a good deal as the first slow half. hour ticked on. But you need not wonder, for I am going to tell you. She had got home late for her dinner, with her shoes and stockings very wet. And when they asked her where she had been and what on earth she had been doing,she said she had been out with Digory Kirke. Under further questioning she said she had got her feet wet in a pool of water, and that the pool was in a wood. Asked where the wood was, she said she didn’t know. Asked if it was in one of the parks, she said truthfully enough that she supposed it might be a sort of park. From all of this Polly‘s mother got the idea that Polly had gone off, without telling anyone, to some part of London she didn’t know, and gone into a strange park and amused herself jumping into puddles. As a result she was told that she had been very naughty indeed and that she wouldn‘t be allowed to play with “that Kirke boy” any more if anything of the sort ever happened again. Then she was given dinner with all the nice parts left out and sent to bed for two solid hours. It was a thing that happened to one quite often in those days.

薄荷紫苏汤(百花小说)
百花文学的源头当有二:“一是汉初司马迁的《史记》中的游侠、刺客列传;二是魏晋、六朝间盛行的‘杂记体’神异、志怪小说。”如果说先秦两汉乃至魏晋志怪,为武侠小说的产生构筑了坚实的基础,为之前奏;那么唐传奇在文学史上一领风骚时,武侠小说即真正开始萌芽。安徒生童话(读好书系列)
《安徒生童话》内容简介:安徒生的童话创作可分早、中、晚三个时期。早期童话多充满绮丽的幻想、乐观的精神,体现现实主义和浪漫主义相结合的特点。代表作有《火绒盒》、《小伊达的花》、《拇指姑娘》、《海的女儿》、《野天鹅》、《丑小鸭》等。中期童话,幻想成分减弱,现实成分相对增强。在鞭挞丑恶、歌颂善良中,表现了对美好生活的执着追求,也流露了缺乏信心的忧郁情绪。代表作有《卖火柴的小女孩》、《雪女王》、《影子》等。晚期童话比中期更加面对现实,着力描写底层民众的悲苦命运,揭露社会生活的阴冷、黑暗和人间的不平。作品基调低沉。代表作有《在柳树下》、《她真是一个窝囊废》、《单身汉的睡帽》等。
