I'm going to make almond macaroons. They're lovely, Polly." "Oh! don't, Cathie," begged Polly in distress. "Why not, pray tell," whirling on one set of toes. "You needn't be afraid they won't be good. I've made them thousands of times." "But she couldn't eat them," said Polly. "Just think, almond macaroons! Why, Papa-Doctor would"
"Yes, and Mamsie and Papa-Doctor," finished Polly, ready for any nonsense, she was just bubbling over so with joy at thought of the morrow and what it would bring. "Well, it is good the cloud is big," squinting up at the radiant sky. "And, Tom, you are coming on that cloud-boat." Jasper pulled him forward with a merry laugh, giving him a clap on the back at the same time.
I dropped in to tell you of a little surprise, but I see it's no time now." "Oh, Papa-Doctor!" cried Polly, flying up to him from the center of the group, "it was nothing only" "A girl's quarrel is not a slight thing, Polly," said little Dr. Fisher gravely, "and one of your friends has gone away very unhappy." "Oh! I know it," said Polly, "and I'm so sorry."
"Mamsie," cried Polly, with a glow where the kiss had dropped, "I'm going to try harder than ever to see wherever I can find a time to help Papa-Doctor. And I hope that one will come soon." "And you'll find just such a time will come; it never fails to when you watch for it," said Mother Fisher, wisely.
"Did Papa-Doctor say so?" asked Phronsie, a smile of supreme content spreading over her wan little face. "Yes, he did," said her mother; "as nice an apple, red and shiny as we could find, is downstairs baking for you, Phronsie. When it's done, Sarah is to bring it up." "That will be very nice," breathed Phronsie slowly.
"You've been a white little minx so long," said Alexia, putting a fond arm around Polly; "I went home and cried every day, after I would steal around the back way to see how Phronsie was" "Won't Phronsie be downstairs soon?" asked Amy. "I don't know," said Polly. "Papa-Doctor is going to be dreadfully careful of her, that she doesn't get up too soon."
"Glad you told me Hush O dear me I'll take care of the gifts." "And I'm to do the rest just the same Doctor Fisher and I. Remember!" It was all Mrs. Fisher had time to utter. Even then, Polly caught the last words in the flurry. "Oh, what is it, Mamsie Is anything the matter with Papa-Doctor?" And her brown eyes filled with alarm at her mother's unusual manner. "Polly," Mrs.
King, with a little laugh. "What! not even going to visit one of his beloved hospitals?" while Polly exclaimed, radiantly, "Oh, how perfectly elegant! Now we'll have Papa-Doctor for a whole long day!" Phronsie, who had been close to her mother's gown during the delivery of this important news, clasped her hands in a quiet rapture, while Polly exclaimed, "Now, Grandpapa, can it be the Rigi?"
And his head sank lower yet. "Nonsense!" exclaimed Dr. Fisher. Yet he had a dreadful feeling coming over him, and he turned to Polly imploringly. "Oh, I do believe it, Jasper," cried Polly, "what Papa-Doctor says. And just look at Mamsie!" she cried, beneath her breath. And truly Mother Fisher was having a hard time to control herself. That Jasper could see as he lifted his head.
"Well, we shall give it to you," said Mother Fisher. Then she went over to the bed and dropped a kiss on Polly's brown hair. "Mamsie," exclaimed Polly, springing off the bed, and throwing her arms around her mother's neck, "I shall love that chain, and I shall wear it just all the time because you and Papa-Doctor gave it to me."
