“Ze liep zachtjes over het pad in de boomgaard. Het bruine gras tussen de bomen had al een tijd geen water gehad. Het grote, oude huis was achter haar en uit een raam op de bovenverdieping scheen vaag wat licht. Eindelijk was daar de appelboom. Nadat ze een kwartier bezig was geweest met plukken, ging ze met een volle mand snel weer weg.”

“She softly walked/She walked gently along the path in the orchard. The brown grass between the trees hadn't been watered for a while.
