A note on this passage

Desconfiar do próprio sol é um traço delicioso: Marilla trata a luz como quem trata um hóspede leviano. «Distrustful of sunshine» transforma um temperamento sério num pequeno gesto concreto — a mulher que se afasta da janela clara. A ironia é afetuosa, e prepara a definição que vem a seguir sobre o que ela pensa do sol.
