Two sisters kept up a feud1 for 30 years. On Matilda's 70th birthday, Alice felt pang2 of remorse3, but it passed.
Yet later, when she heard Matilda was ill, she felt compelled to visit her. Matilda looked sternly at her younger sister.
At last she said in a faint voice, "The doctors say I'm seriously ill, Alice. If I pass away, I want you to know you've forgiven. But if I pull through, things stay as they are!"
一对姐妹关系不和长达三十年。在玛蒂尔达70岁生日时,爱丽丝感到非常后悔,不过这种想法很快就过去了。
后来,当她听到玛蒂尔达生病的时候,她觉得应该去看望玛蒂尔达。玛蒂尔达严肃地盯着她的妹妹。
最后她用微弱的声音说道:“医生说我病得很严重,爱丽丝。如果我离开人世,我想让你知道你已经被原谅了,但是如果我挺过去了,那么我们就还像原来一样。”
