Polly dropped beside her friend. "No, Mrs. Bonnyman, don't get a chair for me! I like this! Besides, I'm not going to stay. It's too lovely outside to be cooped up in the house. Why can't we all go to walk?" "Oh, that's the ticket!" Miss Crilly jumped up. "I'll have to change my togs first will you wait for me?" Polly nodded and smiled, as Miss Crilly skipped off. "Will you all go?"
"I've got something!" insisted Miss Crilly, writhing with pain. Miss Sniffen appeared at the door with a bowl of steaming water and a bundle of cloths. "I'm going to put these on," she announced briskly. "I tried hot water first thing," said Mrs. Albright. "It didn't do any good." The superintendent gave no response. She was busy administering the remedy.
They did let her keep the waist she needed it badly enough." Miss Castlevaine shook her head, while comments flew fast. "I'm sorry for Miss Twining," sympathized Miss Crilly. "She's the kind that won't sputter it all out, as I should; she'll cry herself sick over it!" "If we cried for all the hard things we have here," said Mrs. Crump, "we shouldn't have any eyes left!"
"No what?" Miss Crilly stopped smelling of the roses. "Why, Tuesday she met an old schoolmate on the street who inquired if she had been ill. Mrs. Dick said no. 'Why didn't you come to the wedding, then? the lady asked. 'Wedding? exclaimed Mrs. 'I invited you, the lady said.
I'll have to shut up the house, except the kitchen, and stay there, where I can't see even a team pass, with hardly a neighbor in sight. It drives me wild! To think I was such a fool! If he were a poor man, I could stand it; but he's got money enough." "Why don't you make it fly, then?" broke in Miss Crilly. "Bet you I would!" "No, you wouldn't!
"That same money?" persisted Polly. "No, dear." Mrs. Albright drew up a chair beside her "Come sit down, and I'll tell you about it. I've been telling them, and we have got a little wrought up over it, that's all." "I should think anybody'd get wrought up!" put in Miss Crilly. "I guess it will be the death of poor Miss Twining!" "No, no, it won't! See how you're scaring Polly!"
But as for my being brave, Miss Crilly, I'm afraid I'm not. I am going to tell you my big secret I have told only Polly yet; but maybe it will give you something to think of, I expect to marry Mr. Randolph!" "O-h, Miss Sterling! Oh, my! Isn't that perfectly beautiful! Well, you have given me something to think of!
"How do you begin this way?" Miss Mullaly sprang to her feet, threw out her chest, and worked her arms up and down. "Oh, no!" cried Polly. "That is not it at all! You take them lying down!" "Mercy!" cried Miss Lily. "I'd like that!" declared Mrs. Albright. "Good and easy!" Miss Crilly nodded. "Yes, they are every one to be practiced in bed, before you get up in the morning," resumed Polly.
"What do we need a treasurer for?" "Oh, they always have one!" insisted Polly. "Maybe the money'll come." "Sure! Somebody might donate a million dollars to us and what should we do without anybody to take care of it!" Miss Crilly chuckled happily. The work of organization being disposed of, Mrs. Bonnyman asked what was to be done next. Polly didn't know.
Bonnyman's room, where some half-dozen of the ladies were chatting. "She is married!" she announced in a stage whisper, "married to the milkman oh! oh! oh!" Miss Crilly sat down in the midst of eager questioning. "They say she wrote a note to Miss Sniffen yesterday, but I didn't get my news from her no, sir-ee! It came pretty straight, though, I guess it's so all right."
